On one hand, the cruelty is startling, because kids will 100% go hungry (or hungrier) under this.

On the other hand, I know the cruelty and suffering is the goal, not a side effect.

They want to punish anyone who is poor but most republicans think they only want to punish people who are not white. There are multiple facets to this and some people voting for they own kids to go hungry

They are literally willing to let children in their own communities starve for the sake of white supremacy and the profits of billionaires. I guess I'm glad I don't understand because I never want to be the kind of person that would act like this.

It’s because they think their turn is coming in the near future.

I'm sure they think so. I worry, though, that some of them are willing to die to preserve the privileges of whiteness, or just to deny the basics of a decent life to folks who are Black, Indigenous and people of color.

They definitely would die to keep their privilege. That was the basis of the civil war
