Being harmed doesn't get them outta the cult.
I've met poor people who honestly believed Trump was busy trying to keep the Dems from taking away their food and healthcare.

This is the moment.
Its his GOP approval number that matters. The cult.
Once that spell is broken, and you see it for what it is, you can never unsee it.
Finally the Trump cult is shrinking. Finally.

Genevieve O’Reilly was incredible. I am just glad she finally got her chance to play Mon Mothma. Her performance was a real gift.

This was a test run. Turns out, if 42 million go hungry, the rest of us will accept it quietly.
The SNAP program is permanently damaged, and now permanently in danger. #shutdown

"The GOP put millions in jeopardy of hunger to force the Democrats to agree to huge cuts in healthcare - and the Democrats caved."
