    I have a coworker who is vehemently anti-immigrant. One of the reasons she gives for this stance is that they come to this country unvaccinated and spread disease. Guess who is also anti-vax?

    I have SSI it pays peanuts, if I didn’t have a job ontop of it, I’d have nothing.

    The rules are overly strict and an absolute poverty trap. I cannot legally have 2000 dollars to my name and anything I earn through ANY means must be reported meaning I CAN’T have a side hustle.

    I need to stay on the program because my health insurance is tied to it, if I ever lost it I would be physically and mentally near death within a month.

    I’m one of the people they’re talking about when they mention Welfare Queens

    Right-wing ideology doesn’t have to be consistent - it merely has to shift the blame for society’s ills away from those who caused them.
