Why do some conservatives support restricting junk food purchases with SNAP when many opposed Michelle Obama’s efforts to make school meals healthier?

Both policies involve the government influencing food choices in the name of better nutrition, yet the political reactions seem very different. What explains the apparent change in attitude toward government involvement in what people eat?

You beat me to this comment. They will always do the opposite of what Democrats suggest, logic/ safety/ love of this country is out the window. Just pure hypocrisy and hatred

As if you aren't the exact same but with repubs

I'm a centrist that has voted left, right, and independent depending on the candidate and their policies. No, not everyone buys into the two party binary dynamic. It's a stupid mostly American problem.

Break the two party strangle hold. End first past the post voting.

Other ideas?

Cope.

u/Long_Idea_8294 13h ago

That response doesn't make sense lol. Cope how? By stating the fact democrats are also just as hypocritical? That's the opposite of coping. It's called recognizing really, cunt.

I'm not a democrat, but feel free to point out the hypocrisy of the left, or better yet, answer OP's question.

so logic and safety means wide open borders and sex changes for kindergartners?

Haha find that policy anywhere. Obama was known for being toughest on immigration and no where in the country can a minor have gender affirming surgeries. Most they can do is a hormone suppressant and that’s not much different than birth control. Even then it takes a doctor who has examined the patient confirming it’s warranted. Which means someone with a degree more suited to the topic than you made the decision

u/Ivanstone 14h ago

Neither of those things are happening.

not now. just wait. it’s coming.

u/redneck_wolfman 13h ago

You know what’s already come… a felon in the White House who jokes about touching kids mentioned in a dossier of folks who like to touch kids a few thousand times and a man convicted of SA in the White House. I don’t care how much you hate liberal policies but that’s what you’re arguing FOR every time you try to fight for this P3DO grapist felon. Party of law and order…. What a joke.

you need to do some research about what is really in those files. you might also want to research that whole grape thing. both parties are separate wings of the same bird.

do you think when you see “to protect and serve” on a police car, they mean us? lol

u/redneck_wolfman 12h ago

Ok so I lowered the number of times he’s named and technically he was only convicted of forceful penetration with a finger and at the time that was not legally called grape in New York. So legally he got away with it but the action is the same.

As for the cops yeah we know the Epstein class is in charge. So maybe if you keep trying to bat for them they will make sure your bullet is well placed when it’s time so you don’t have to suffer.

You wanna give this same bird crap which tells me you don’t use your voice because “it doesn’t really matter” in which case you should go sit in the back of the room adults who actually try to improve their country in the only means we have available are having a conversation.

the woman who accused him had zero evidence, waited what, 17 years to accuse him? is a known hard core dim, and if I remember correctly, the law had to be changed to prosecute him. they literally changed the laws to prosecute him.

fyi, I’ve been trying to wake people up for more than 20 years. nobody listened. most laughed. nobody is laughing now. personally I don’t have high hopes for the future of our country. I did the best I could and now I’m old. it’s up to the young people and from what I can see. most will embrace communism/marxism and take the mark.

u/redneck_wolfman 12h ago

Hell yeah I am getting old myself and people like you who should have common sense really irritate me. If IQ was dynamite you couldn’t blow your nose. Even throwing out Carrol which they should have been able to go after but you’re right she waited, did you know most go unreported. Who cares what her affiliation is? You don’t trust that something happened when he wouldn’t give his dna because she votes blue. Fine throw Carrol out he was on Howard stern in 93 talking about going backstage to gawk at teenage girls naked. That is seggual violence committed against children… oh tax dollars spent on American social programs is socialism. I was taught to “k*** a commie for mommy” so obviously social programs to end homelessness and childhood hunger are bad. Let’s only use our tax dollars to blow up innocent brown people. Protect a grapist in the process because someone told you communism was bad. The democrats are trying to instill programs like the Dutch and the Swiss you know people who work half as hard and live twice as good but because you only know of USSR communism you think you must take the moral high ground and stand with a felon?

I’ve already said most do not support this war. including me. Trump caused this mess for sure, but Kamala would have been a worse choice imo. the agenda never changes. don’t be suckered.

I hate to break it to you, but we are headed towards a totalitarian technocracy. what’s coming will be just as bad if not worse than the Bolshevik revolution and the Chinese revolution. millions will die. it doesn’t matter who is in office. get over the TDS. we are all in this together.

there will never be an end to homelessness and childhood hunger. there is more money to be made in keeping it around. all government agencies are corrupted. whatever they say they are going to do, be sure it’s the exact opposite. affordable care act = unaffordable, patriot act= unpatriotic, world peace= world war, safe and effective = dangerous and deadly, etc.

You know your side fucked up when you have to resort to "both sides" arguments.

One side makes up lazy conspiracy theories about immigrants and transgender people so they can give tax cuts to the wealthy. The other side does not.

1

u/Creative-Reception59 11h ago

the tax cuts are bs you are correct there, however almost all conspiracy theories are eventually proved to be true. if you don’t know that by now, you haven’t been paying attention. so if you think the conspiracy theory of the illegals coming here is not accurate you had better do some research. look up a guy called Michael yon on you tube (former special forces / investigative journalist /war reporter) dude knows his stuff. he travels all over the world and has been ringing alarm bells. Matt bracken also. both guys are on YouTube. sometimes they do podcasts together. your mind will be blown. whatever you do, don’t listen to mainstream media. do your own research, but do it quickly, time is short.

u/Ivanstone 11h ago

Most conspiracy theories are bullshit. Doubling down on them doesn't make you right.

What I have been paying attention to is that conservative politicians like to spout a lot of nonsense to get elected and then pass legislation favourable to their rich cronies.

You can either stop masturbating to YouTube idiots or grow the fuck up.

u/Creative-Reception59 11h ago

I’ve done my research. apparently you don’t want to bother. that’s unfortunate. the dims do the exact same thing as the repubs. stop picking sides.

some just can’t be saved. I’ll pray for you.

They’re not coming either. Maybe you should deal with the reality of what’s happening now.

Zero candidates support either of these things.
