On: US pauses all federal aid and grants

Since it isn’t clear what exactly will be stopped here.

Some of these could hurt the districts with republican representation the most. Like food stamps, unemployment, and similar. So maybe something this stupid will wake people up?

A lot of other policies could be twisted so trump isn’t directly blamed. This is… pretty cut and dry if you suddenly stop getting money you rely on.

So maybe it’s actually possible? One can hope.

I have zero faith. Republicans in those districts will find a way to spin this, and the people will eat it up.

Maybe I'm just too cynical anymore but I have almost no faith in the American electorate.

I mean. You’re not wrong.

I think the only way I am going to be sane over the next 2 or 4 years is to hold out some sliver of hope…
