A country is supposed to provide 4 things to it's citizens, and the united states are failing on all 4.
food: “We are in danger of running out of food,” said Vince Hall, Feeding America’s chief government relations officer. “We are doing everything we can to avert a major hunger crisis.
safe to drink water: Nearly half of the tap water in the US is contaminated with ‘forever chemicals,’ government study finds
shelter: Homelessness rates have been climbing nationally by about 6% every year since 2017, the alliance said.
safety: The record 48,830 total gun deaths in 2021 reflect a 23% increase since 2019
additionally, nearly every fundamental system (education, healthcare, insurance, car-dependent city designs, etc.) within the united states is designed to take everything away (or restrict access to everything) from it's citizens through poverty, thus making the above problems exponentially worse.
What is there to fight for?
CNN, CBS typical mainstream liberal propaganda, and you lemmings lap it up. 🤡
food (fox news): But food banks are struggling to meet the higher demand due to decreased donations, supply chain delays and inflation, according to NPR.
safe to drink water (the wall street journal): Nearly Half of U.S. Tap Water Contains ‘Forever Chemicals,’ Study Says
shelter (the national review): Neglect won’t be an option. Left unaddressed, street homelessness tends to expand. Twenty-person encampments have a way of becoming 40-person encampments
safety (the Washington times): If we take the example of health care workers, the extent of the issue is made painfully clear. A recent nationwide survey highlights that almost half of hospital nurses report an increase in workplace violence, a 119% rise in nurses compared to March 2021.
There you go, 4 different conservative news sources that point out the same issues. the facts that I had stated in that comment are agreed upon on both sides of the political spectrum, the only thing that's up for debate is the solutions. and regardless of what you think the solutions are, they are not currently happening withing the united states of america.
again, I'll ask, what is there to fight for?
Imagine thinking the Washington times and NPR are conservative. You're out of your fucking mind. WSJ for Christ sakes the biggest lib rag there is.
