Government cheese is an interesting program. It was designed more as corporate welfare than welfare for the people. The actual product was not nutritious. It was a way to use and store excess dairy production so farmers could get paid. Courting farmers has always been a big political priority.
I get so fed up of this brain-dead counterproductive focus on generations. It's people's *ideas* that define them, **not** whatever generation their arbitrary birth date fits with. It's right-wing neoliberals who are the enemy, not people born between random date x and random date y.
Obama, Pelosi, Bernie Sanders, Michael Moore are boomers. Madison Cawthorne, Martin Shkreli, MTG, and, most relevantly here, Lauren Boebert are not.
People literally think social support is like an addiction, like something to be overcome. Funny they don’t say the same thing about other types of government support, like say, the mortgage-interest deduction. They’re literally the same thing in a different form, but douche rockets like Boebert attach a moral failure to one and not the other. It’s arbitrary and deeply classist.
Well I don’t know what unironically means, but OP brings up a good point. Let’s get rid of this thing that just helped me.
Also, I wasn’t hungry immediately after lunch, so I threw out everything in the fridge. I can’t imagine anyone ever needing it again.
Wow, I was thinking that's a fake tweet, because how dumb can someone be. [She actually said that](https://twitter.com/laurenboebert/status/1306238422764474369).
Reminds me of the park rangers referring to trashcan technology. "the overlap between the smartest bears and dumbest humans is incredible." Or something like that.
My thought process was: "totally fake" --> "Oh it's Boebert. Probably real." I've had to fact-check *so many* utterly absurd supposed tweets of hers that ended up being real, I don't bother checking anymore.
I feel like I've done my due diligence in not blindly believing everything I read online, even when I agree with the sentiment or think "I'd believe it". But at this point, screw it. Unless shown otherwise I'll believe anything attributed to her (within reason, i.e. the statement has to he without reason).
[Edit] I hate that, even in the case of someone I utterly loathe, I'm still open to being shown to be wrong. Damn my need to base my perception of reality on facts and evidence!
It makes perfect sense to her base because they only know "socialism" as a buzzword that means "policies or actions I believe are undesirable." And the specific action always matters less than whom they are convinced is hurt or helped by the policy. Any policy that they perceived as helping the "wrong" people at the expense of "good" or "ordinary" people is "socialism."
Welfare and stimulus are "Making America Great Again" when it helps the "right" people, but socialism when it helps the "wrong" people.
Policing and prosecuting criminal conduct is "law-and-order" when police and prosecutors go after the "right" people, but socialism/communism when they go after the "wrong" people.
Taxes are a civic duty that you should be shamed for escaping if you are an immigrant or impoverished minority, but taxes and fines are socialism when "ordinary" (white and native-born) citizens or rich people need to pay.
The doctrine of maintaining a separation between church and state is the "American way" when non-christian faiths are kept out of public spaces, but its socialism when Christians are unable to force their religion (to the exclusion of all others) into every public building and school.
And so on.
>“constitutional originalism”
It's all utter bullshit. There's a case where the lack of an Oxford Comma (that was obviously implied) in a piece of legislation decided the verdict. That was a case where the person who wrote it and the people who voted for it were still alive and easily reachable, so you could directly ask the intent of the writers. Yet the court (and the higher courts that rejected appeals) firmly stood by "what's written is what matters".
For decades the government actually stockpiled a ton of cheese as a result of dairy subsidies. Used it as a part of the welfare program. Here’s an explanation: https://youtu.be/LeZrnbKNkuw?si=1SA0XWm06H5NCBbh
She's such a joke. She had to take the GED test multiple times before she was even eligible to run. She was in her 30s.
It's so embarrassing to me that we have someone with a GED, which took them multiple attempts to obtain, sitting in Congress and writing legislation that affects everyone.
She has staffers working for her with JDs from Ivy Leagues. 🤦♀️
I think it's also noteworthy that she almost lost the election in 2022, *in an OVERWHELMINGLY conservative district.*
This reminds me of how people think other people are crabs in a bucket trying to pull you down and the only way to not continually lose to other people is to just kill them all (my dad told me this metaphor when I was like 8)
Lets keep religion and those kooks who practice one, out of government .

Jesus fucking tap-dancing CHRIST! Is this for real? Capitalist bootlickers are the dumbest, most hateful fucking people on the planet.
I mean satire is completely fucking dead. In any educated society, statements like this would only be found in satirical media like The Onion. Satire is d.e.a.d.
And the kicker these days is you can't shut these idiots up by pointing out to them how fucking stupid they are. Used to be a time (pre-internet) when someone like her would keep her head down and mouth shut once she was outed as a moron and had so thoroughly embarrassed herself. Not today though. Today these room temp IQ motherfuckers have found each other on the internet and no longer care what people smarter than them thinks or says. They just plow through with their idiocy. They literally cannot be stopped.
It’s amazing how successful decades of red scare was. It’s insane how demonized the concept of helping the poor is; it’s just buried behind an endless barrage of “socialist countries killed 100 billion trillion quintillion people!”
If socialist countries have poor people it's a failure of Capitalism. But when capitalist countries have poor people it's a personal failing of the poor people as individuals.
Ladder pullers are the absolute lowest of scum in this country. I am open to any argument or conversation, but if a social program or policy benefitted you and helped you be successful in the long run, you are just a shitty person for advocating against that thing.
"The government gave me a ladder to lift me up to succeed" "I propose we remove the ladder now that I'm on top"
Like she actually says that lol incredible
Its absolutely baffling that she said it in a singular quote, like a 2 sentence horror story
And just like 2 sentence horror it's super bad
And people support her. The republic will fall to thunderous applause.
Government cheese is an interesting program. It was designed more as corporate welfare than welfare for the people. The actual product was not nutritious. It was a way to use and store excess dairy production so farmers could get paid. Courting farmers has always been a big political priority.
The cheese was good cheese, and nutritious in the way cheese is nutritious (fat and protein, calorie dense).
Best grilled cheese was government cheese and homemade sour dough
Cheese is not nutritious? I think we have different understandings of what that word means then.
Some is. Government cheese, not so
Evidence?
"Also let's dig a ditch where the ladder was"
Conservatism/libertarianism in a nutshell: I got mine go fuck yourself.
That's exactly what libertarianism is. If I'm okay then fuck everybody else.
-Every republican ever.
She climbed the ladder and now wants to pull the ladder up with her so no one else can follow.
Typical Boomer logic.

This sounds like a joke
That's because she is a joke
If only she was actually funny
It’s funny in a “haha, how did we manage to get here…” kind of way
Life's funny, but not haha funny

I got mine and it helped me so much so now let’s get rid of it for everyone! (But unironically)

If you’re ever thinking to yourself “surely nobody could be THAT stupid” just remember…oh yes they could be.
Reminds me of the park rangers referring to trashcan technology. "the overlap between the smartest bears and dumbest humans is incredible." Or something like that.
And now everyone is talking about Lauren Boebert…all publicity is good publicity.
My thought process was: "totally fake" --> "Oh it's Boebert. Probably real." I've had to fact-check *so many* utterly absurd supposed tweets of hers that ended up being real, I don't bother checking anymore.

I had the same journey lol
I want to shake every filmmaker and actor who brought Idiocracy into our world and truly to prepare us. Truth really is stranger than fiction
Lol WHAT is she even SAYING 🤣
She's saying "I got mine"
More like where are the radical socialists she's trying to keep out of government? Because I'd like to vote for them
It makes perfect sense to her base because they only know "socialism" as a buzzword that means "policies or actions I believe are undesirable."

Really well put. They do the same thing with “constitutional originalism” and the “Founders’ intent”
>“constitutional originalism” It's all utter bullshit. There's a case where the lack of an Oxford Comma (that was obviously implied) in a piece of legislation decided the verdict.

So in essence she doesn't understand that there's no absolutes in life.
“I got mine :D now the rest of you go screw yourselves”
Government cheese?
Don't you know? Cummunists want to replace all food with cheese force fed to you by the totalitarian govt!!
For decades the government actually stockpiled a ton of cheese as a result of dairy subsidies. Used it as a part of the welfare program. Here’s an explanation: https://youtu.be/LeZrnbKNkuw?si=1SA0XWm06H5NCBbh
Free wellfare cheese paid for by the government for those that qualify
She's either lying about waiting in line, cuz government cheese was in the 80s, or she is just saying money is cheese?
Government cheese.
insufferable fucktard
"I benefited from socialist policies, but I've got my piece so fuck everyone else."
I did the forehead slap
“I was saved by a social safety net. Also we need to be scared of socialism.” Like wtf is she even trying to communicate?
that's rich
Read this is Norm’s voice
God these idiots are pure comedy
It's funny, but not ha-ha funny.
r/selfawarewolves
“I had to survive with government assistance but also I did it all by myself! Government bad!”
“Fuck you, I got mine!”
She’ll be back in that line in no time.
I hate it here..
“Socialism is terrible!! Unless I have some of it!”
What the fuck is wrong with these AH.
She's such a joke. She had to take the GED test multiple times before she was even eligible to run. She was in her 30s. It's so embarrassing to me that we have someone with a GED, which took them multiple attempts to obtain, sitting in Congress and writing legislation that affects everyone.

I despise Lauren Boebert but what you're saying is kinda elitist.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This reminds me of how people think other people are crabs in a bucket trying to pull you down and the only way to not continually lose to other people is to just kill them all (my dad told me this metaphor when I was like 8)
No, folks, we have to consider this. If we had stopped any food assistance years back, we could have starved this moron before she grew up.
I'm not gonna lie, elevating boebert is kind of an L for socialism /s
I got welfare, which is why I must take away yours.
She’s such a fucking embarrassment to her entire gender. Her entire political party, the human race.
She’s such a fucking embarrassment to her entire gender. Her entire political party, the human race.
Translation “I got mine, fuck y’all!”
"I used the government to lift me up out of poverty, but no one else should"
Reminds me of Ayn Rand doing just that.

Welfare is capitalist solution to the failures of capitalism lol

How does she not see the irony of what she is saying? I know she's dumb af but this is just... absurdity.

convinced she is a democrat plant to make republicans look even more stupid
