I don’t know, I’m reading about the Dominican community in PA that apparently went for trump because they interpreted ‘I’m going to deport 20 million illegals’ as a declaration that he was going to give them amnesty.
I’m not arguing we don’t have a communication problem. Or that we don’t have an education problem in this country.
My point stands, the poverty rate for black households in Alabama is 150% greater than the white poverty rates.
Clawing back LIHEAP funding and other social services are going to hit vulnerable populations first.
Yes, some Trump voters are likely to be hurt by this. But far more single black mothers will statistically be affected.
So comments like yeah if they could read, show the commenter did not read the room. Or maybe they did, and we as a community are so happy to watch leopards eat people’s faces, we’re forgetting about who this is most likely hurting the most.
It’s the low income energy assistance program that is not paying its grants. And when we look at poverty rates in Alabama, it’s statistically likely that this is hitting single black mothers rather than Trump supporters.
Let’s not all have such a hard-on for leopards eating faces that we lose sight of who is actually being affected.
I’m so fucking glad that the letter specifically calls out Trump’s EO. Its the only way to breakthrough to these people.
The letter in question
wow. they’re actually taking the money back after the program funds were distributed to the participants’ utility accounts.
hahahaha brilliant! Can they read though?
It would work if they could read.
Consider that this is likely hitting single black mothers, as it’s the low income energy assistance program that’s being affected.
Maybe not a great comment hey?

We aren’t grappling with the real cause of our woes. An information environment that is worse than no information at all.
This is how you know you’re talking to an idiot.
