Know Which Side Your Bread Is Buttered On

With elections coming up, it's important to know which side your bread is buttered on. In other words, know who it's in your best interest to vote for.

I thought about this while watching a story on the news about a man whose health was affected by the East Palestine train derailment which occured on February 3rd 2023. The man was very sick and he blamed his condition on the chemicals that blanketed his neighborhood in the wake of the tragedy.

At the end of the story, as the camera zoomed out I noticed a Trump sign in his yard. He was apparently unaware that Trump had gotten rid of train safety rules that Obama put in place and that would have lessened the impact of the derailment, if not prevented it altogether.

At a subsidized housing project for seniors I have seen cars with Trump bumper stickers. (Trumper stickers?) Do these people know that subsidized housing is a government service and that government services are supported by DEMOCRATIC politicians and generally disliked by Republican politicians?

Guess they weren't paying attention when, during the Republican primaries, all candidates reported that they supported cuts in Medicare and Social Security.

I've talked to some of these voters and found that they get all their political information from Fox News. Guess Fox didn't report that it had to pay more that $750,000,000 for lying about a company that makes voting machines and that they are being sued for a much higher figure for lying about another company.

And I'm pretty sure they weren't told that Fox News admitted to a policy of lying to improve their ratings and make them more money. And all their lies cut in favor of the Republican Party and the wealthy people who benefit from Republican policies, including the owners of Fox News.

To be “fair and balanced” I should note that some people might, in the short term, benefit from a Trump victory. I'm talking about those who are rich and selfish and won't live long enough to see the total destruction of our country under a dictatorship led by the dumbest, crookedest people on the planet.

As an afterthought I'd like to add that I am a vegan and never eat butter. It's one of the unhealthiest items in the supermarket. And bread's not that great either.
