While the feeling/sentiment (anger) is valid (based on past and current *parts of* reality) and understandable, the current reality disproves the overstated ("always") expression of it:
"The Biden administration is seeking $1.4 billion in emergency funding"

I knowingly take the risk of 'making an example of' someone's spout on this platform--in part because I'm confident that people here are generally understanding of the intent and bigger picture goals that we have in common. It's a conundrum.

In answer to Lola's reasonable question, I suspect that the #GaslightersOnParade are comfortable with exploiting the poor, knowing that they're used to being exploited--and then manipulated into supporting the party--because they've experienced neglect and abuse much of their lives. It's 'normal'.
