A New Government Memo Feels Like It’s Straight Out Of 'The Handmaid’s Tale'

The memo also said recipients of federal transportation dollars must cooperate with immigration enforcement, a hit to so-called sanctuary cities.

Summary

The Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued a memo prioritizing federal funding for communities with marriage and birth rates above the national average.

The directive, which applies to grants, loans, and contracts, also prioritizes projects benefiting families with young children.

A congressional aide criticized the policy, saying, “Considering fertility rates when prioritizing federal grants? We obviously have no idea what the full impact of that will be… It’s absolutely creepy. It’s a little ‘Chinese government.’”

The memo also blocks mask mandates and requires compliance with immigration enforcement.

    Because I so badly want them to suffer the guilt

    The fact that you’re focused on attacking leftists trying to make a better world instead of the literal fascists shows how wicked you really are. The fact that you show joy in the suffering of others, no less.

      “trying to make a better world”

      What the fuck are you talking about how is Trump winning enabling us to make a better world? Its done the fucking opposite. Are you actually this delusional?

          Yes you do. You support him via advocating for a completely ass backwards promotion of third party voting.

          If a third party is to be even remotely viable in FPTP, you don’t fucking start with the presidency.

          You can’t magically drum up sufficient support for a candidate to win the fucking presidency with zero/near zero seats in congress or the senate.

            “In Congress or the Senate”? Congress INCLUDES the Senate. Congress is the combination of the House and the Senate.

            Yes you do. You support him via advocating for a completely ass backwards promotion of third party voting.

            This is the most fucking backwards logic I’ve ever seen. I talk about “leftists want to make a better world” by using a completely different approach than voting for fascists. You frame the false choice of “anyone but fascists is impossible” again. And then by your logic, not supporting fascists is equal to supporting fascists, because “it’s like voting for fascist B, because either fascist A or B has to win!” THIS LOGIC IS NOT SOUND.

            If you can’t actually add something that’s not completely fucking insane to the conversation, then DO. NOT. REPLY.
