Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

What is the argument for the administration ceasing federal participation? How do they try to justify it? When I take this to my dad, what's he gonna say about how this program was actually woke bullshit?
The right-wing is post-thought. The most effort they're willing to make is a few sentences or a paragraph at absolute most. My assumption is their "cost cutting" argument is simple and it's always same no matter how insane it sounds to normal people. It goes something like this...
"The woke crowd are yelling and screaming about Trump cutting ____________________. They just hate the cuts because Trump is doing them. The private sector can do it and do it better. The cuts are good."
It's utter nonsense but I think it's a lie that works for them. It's an in-group lie. They don't care at all if it makes no sense and has no logic for other people. From their POV lots of people "just hate Trump" and can be ignored.
