Republicans claim they love America.
But they sure don’t seem to like the American people.
They consistently oppose reforms that a majority of Americans believe would make their lives better, like raising the minimum wage, paid family leave, and student debt relief.
And these supposedly America-loving Republicans also seem to hate American cities, which is where 80% of Americans live.
So they must love rural America, right?
Ehhh…not so much.
Republicans have historically tried to block Medicaid expansion and cut its funding, which rural Americans have especially benefited from. They’ve sought to slash funding for rural infrastructure and development.They’ve sided with big ag over independent farmers. And they’re continually trying to cut food stamps, which rural Americans depend on — evenmore than those in cities.
So maybe it’s the land itself they love.
Independant farmers are the ones who produce more NON-GMO and Organic foods. They are more important than the larger farms which only want money, not foods that produce wellbeing.
