It's so weird that they don't want abortions to be legal but they basically want spontaneous death to happen after birth.

That's because they aren't pro-life, they're pro-birth. After you're born, unless your parents are rich, you can fuck off and die in a gutter for all they care.

"Life is a sacred gift" but housing assistance or healthcare for all is a bridge too far? Lmao.

Yay, baby gambling!

But on the serious note, they want poor to be confused, miserable and desperate. They themselves take all the best healthcare, all shots and boosters, but they want for pandemic to happen because it would occupy ordinary people's minds and also give the government additional abilities to control everyone, while the collapsing market would once again benefit the rich and make poor even poorer. There's no downside for the likes of MTG, Trump and RFK as long as they are in power.
