Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
Now do the one on welfare recipients. Plenty of Republicans can be trapped into admitting they think anyone on welfare for too long should be in a work camp.
Trapped?
They'll say we need to do more to get them to work harder. Like make them apply for extra jobs. When you ask what if that doesn't work you eventually get to work camps.
They don't see people on welfare as people.
They don't see anyone they perceive as "lesser" than them as people; and they think they're better than a whole lotta people.
And they don't see the problem with that. Which is why they'll say the quiet part out loud with so little effort.
