[u/Beforemath]

Wait, wasn’t it democrats that were supposed to be taking our beef away?

[u/PhazePyre → u/Beforemath]

Things Democrats were supposed to do but Republicans actually did it:

• Took away rights (Roe v Wade)
• Worsened the economy
• Sexually abused and exploited children and protect those that did
• Install an authoritarian regime
• Start a war
• Suppress freedom of speech (which can be attributed to the first bullet, but it's a whole thing now so I figured it was worth keeping separate)
• Bring in their corrupt friends and make it a swamp.

[u/Ok_Vulva → u/PhazePyre]

I think they dei-ed it up too, they gave everyone a chance for very important jobs. Like the plumber running homeland security

[u/twinoaksBandB → u/Ok_Vulva]

Fox News host running the dod, first wife of backyard wrestling running doe, it's utterly insane that any of them were approved by the legislature.

[u/manbearcolt → u/twinoaksBandB]

So Kash Patel raped a few animals and suddenly he's unqualified to run the FBI?!

(He totally is, with or without the alleged but most likely animal rape)

[u/Wyevez → u/manbearcolt]

Ahem, he was raped BY a few animals so he's protecting the victims. Who hasn't been a victim of a drive by peanut butter crotch incident?! And why should those people not lead the FBI and party with the US Olympic team?

[u/SpitSpot → u/twinoaksBandB]

Reality tv star running dot

[u/lollmaohahahaha → u/Ok_Vulva]

Or the local alcoholic coke fiend being the head of the FBI.

[u/Timely-Assistant-370 → u/Ok_Vulva]

dei, but only for my buddy's dog fucking son, he wants to be in the FBI

[u/US3_ME_ → u/Ok_Vulva]

Or that 22yr old bag boy who mowed lawns that's in charge of counter terrorism? What ever happened to that eyebrow raising douche?_

[u/prophetableforprofit → u/PhazePyre]

Don't forget implementing a secret police! (ICE)

[u/Lonely-Abalone-5104 → u/prophetableforprofit]

And state run media with Trump tv

[u/Swazimoto → u/Lonely-Abalone-5104]

I’m surprised they didn’t even bother to inflate the views with bots, they must have really thought it would be successful.

[u/Chief_Mischief → u/Swazimoto]

Trump stiffed the devs who were supposed to create the bots so they deleted them

[u/CishetmaleLesbian → u/Chief_Mischief]

I don't know if that is true, but I am sure it is true on a metaphysical level.

[u/Acceptable_Bat379 → u/Swazimoto]

this is a common problem with fascism at least in the internet age - russia also massively overestimated their own power and support when invading ukraine because anyone providing realistic projections and information on military readiness was fired. trump fires everyone who gives him bad news. so he probably is in a cloud of his own making believing that he's the best and most popular and loved president ever

[u/steelhips → u/Acceptable_Bat379]

That's Natalie's job description. That and the diapers.

[u/Ephemeris → u/Lonely-Abalone-5104]

and Forever Wars

[u/Cheese__Weiner → u/Lonely-Abalone-5104]

And attempting what is effectively a global world government of technocrats. They've been saying for years that Democrats were ushering in globalism etc.

[u/Emergency-Shirt-4572 → u/prophetableforprofit]

And setting up internment camps (remember “FEMA Camps”)

[u/boxylady69 → u/Emergency-Shirt-4572]

Remember "death panels?" The way they handled covid was basically that.

[u/Lailowla → u/boxylady69]

Death panels are already how insurance works and the only reason they would exist in a public system for the republicans to talk about them is that republicans would insist on them to keep costs down.

[u/Careless_Twist_6935 → u/boxylady69]

trump was withholding federal aid unless states were "nice to him". that was real. a siiting us president had to hold a pandemic over peoples heads so they would be nice to him.

[u/TrumpetOfDeath → u/prophetableforprofit]

Oh yeah, that fucking Jade Helm conspiracy had conservatives literally up in arms.

Meanwhile, Trump deploys the national guard to multiple US cities and… crickets

[u/Miguel-odon → u/prophetableforprofit]

And steal elections!

[u/Fight_those_bastards → u/prophetableforprofit]

‘Member when Obama was going to suspend the constitution and overthrow the government to stay in power when he lost?

Pepperidge Farm remembers…

[u/Calkky → u/PhazePyre]

Don't forget taking the guns. Something Trump suggested we do during his first term. Curious crickets from the NRA and "the second amendment folks" afterward, too!

[u/Pre3Chorded → u/Calkky]

And Trump's stormtroopers took a gun from an immobilized, legal concealed carrier at a highly publicized protest, then proceeded to assassinate him.

[u/Cyrano_Knows → u/PhazePyre]

Lots and lots of Republicans will insist everything was "fine" in America until Obama came long and divided the country with his racial divisiveness.

Their proof? That one time that Obama fist-bumped his wife.

[u/TodlicheLektion → u/Cyrano_Knows]

Everything changed the day he wore a tan suit.

[u/nsdefw → u/PhazePyre]

Republicans also made gender-affirming care mandatory for male military personnel.

[u/Bee_9965 → u/nsdefw]

Hegseth wants to make vaccines optional but testosterone injections mandatory.

[u/Active-Cookie-774 → u/PhazePyre]

We are watching in real time how a spoiled rich man bankrupt four casinos play out live on our nation.

[u/grptrt → u/PhazePyre]

Buried the Epstein files

Released violent felons (J6ers)

[u/BlondeBorednBaked → u/Beforemath]

Yes! Fox News said Biden was going to take away hamburgers! And now Trump has actually done it.

[u/PrestigiousFly844 → u/Beforemath]

They spent 2019 telling everyone AOC and her green new deal were coming to take everyone’s burgers.

[u/SoloMotorcycleRider → u/PrestigiousFly844]

And force us to buy a shitty Tesla.

[u/xicor → u/Beforemath]

every accusation is a confession

[u/TurdWrangler2020 → u/[deleted]]

What I have been seeing is that MAGA is all projection. They are awful people with awful thoughts, and they think everyone thinks the same way they do. They are giving themselves permission to be the awful people they truly are by deluding themselves into thinking everyone is like that.

[u/Carbonatite → u/Beforemath]

Between this and fuel scarcity forcing people to choose more fuel efficient vehicles instead of 6 mpg pickup behemoths, the Trump administration is inadvertently encouraging a number of climate/environmentally friendly consumer choices.

[u/mikewarnock → u/Beforemath]

I remember when Michele Obama suggested school lunch changes and republican media went nuts.

[u/TheUpperHand]

'They [Democrats] want to tell you what kind of car you can drive, what sources of information are credible, and even how many hamburgers you can eat.'

Mitch McConnell, Aug 28, 2020

Today Republicans are telling us that we can only buy cars that are made in America and are obstructing electric vehicles, CNN/MSNOW are banned from the White House because Trump doesn't feel they're credible, and the AgSec says don't eat hamburgers if you can't afford the higher beef prices we caused.

[u/Carbonatite → u/TheUpperHand]

Why does Mitch care, it's not like his kind eats anything but lettuce and tender green shoots.

[u/Lone-Frequency → u/Carbonatite]

Pretty sure the only things he's eating right now are whatever they can liquefy to send through a tube.

[u/Future-Guarantee-573 → u/Lone-Frequency]

He's nourished by the tears of children.

[u/MayorWomanana → u/Future-Guarantee-573]

They flow so nicely through the tube

[u/keepgoing66 → u/TheUpperHand]

What does Mitch have to say about this now? Oh, right, he can't speak, he has brain damage.

[u/phyneas → u/keepgoing66]

What does Mitch have to say about this now?

A slow stiff never-ending thumbs-up while staring off into the middle distance at nothing and grinning like a loon, probably.

[u/Tokie-Dokie]

Stop eating beef. Stop taking vacations. And stop getting sick.

Surprising that Republicans would rather focus on the trans community.

[u/OdiousAltRightBalrog → u/Tokie-Dokie]

And stop buying dolls and pencils for your kids.

[u/Global-Chipmunk-3959 → u/OdiousAltRightBalrog]

Fuck I forgot about that one. Talking about “beautiful baby 11-year-olds” needing three dolls and 5 pencils 

[u/NiceRackFocus → u/Global-Chipmunk-3959]

He’s such a fucking weird, creepy-ass, out of touch moron.

[u/Huemun → u/Global-Chipmunk-3959]

The best part of that he was saying that because some lobbyists for pencils and dolls was talking to him just right before and the annoyed him.

[u/kingcrow15 → u/OdiousAltRightBalrog]

The country and economy are doing great but we're going to need to cut back on dolls and beef consumption for no particular reason.

[u/-CJF- → u/Tokie-Dokie]

You can get sick, we just can't track it that way there's no accountability.

[u/Dearic75 → u/-CJF-]

More like you can get sick, but if you do please (expire) quickly before you use up any resources.

And yes, sorry about the euphemism. Reddit actually refused to post it when I was clearer.

[u/VHS_Ronin → u/Tokie-Dokie]

They literally spend more time yelling about trans people than queer publications do. It's weird.

[u/SupaKoopa714 → u/VHS_Ronin]

They spend more time thinking about trans people that I do and I'm trans.

[u/Shadowassassian]

So let me get this straight. Go vegetarian if we can't "afford" high beef prices. But get violent explosive diarrhea from eating produce that was contaminated with human feces.

[u/FarImprovement2840 → u/Shadowassassian]

Correct

We are fucked either way

[u/SomeDumbPenguin → u/FarImprovement2840]

Plus, a lot of those meat alternatives like the Beyond products are around the same price point per a pound as beef currently is

[u/nightmaresabin → u/SomeDumbPenguin]

An Impossible Whopper at my local Burger King is a dollar more than the normal beef Whopper.

[u/gleaf008 → u/nightmaresabin]

That’s unpossible.

[u/ciaomain → u/gleaf008]

Me fail English?

[u/TyrKiyote → u/Shadowassassian]

Its the circle of strife <3

[u/phonartics → u/TyrKiyote]

circle of shite

[u/HappyHarryHardOn → u/Shadowassassian]

We're going to get Bachelor Chow in real life soon

[u/ChanceryTheRapper → u/HappyHarryHardOn]

The makers of Soylent have been waiting for this opportunity.

[u/RoverBoyNumber6 → u/ChanceryTheRapper]

How does it taste?

[u/fruitmongerking → u/RoverBoyNumber6]

Varies from person to person

[u/Individual_Ad9135 → u/Shadowassassian]

They were hammering Talarico in Texas, claiming he was a vegetarian, like it's an awful thing and made him less than a man. He did a commercial eating brisket or something.

[u/Other-Importance-214 → u/Individual_Ad9135]

Now the anti-Talarico ads running in TX are suggesting he’s a woke communist because he dares to give dignity to human beings who happen to be trans. Culture wars are all they’ve got, I just pray the voting public is tired of it by now and sees through it.

[u/pocketjacks → u/Other-Importance-214]

And the people they're targeting in those campaign ads have likely never known if they've been in the presence of a trans person. They live out in the country and surround themselves with like-minded bigots. Trans people to them are the boogey man hiding under their bed.

[u/PopBulky7023 → u/Shadowassassian]

Also vegan is woke. Got broke, go woke?

[u/ashton_woods → u/Shadowassassian]

And then have republicans call you a pansy for not eating said beef they told you that you didn’t deserve.

[u/Vio_ → u/Shadowassassian]

Remember when the Republicans lost their collective minds when Michelle Obama tried to provide better school lunches with healthier options and fruits and vegetables?

[u/Present-Resolution23 → u/Shadowassassian]

But also if you’re vegetarian you’re a soyboy cuck or whatever they called Talarico just because his girlfriend is… 

It’s all just ridiculous

[u/Myriad-of-kitties → u/Shadowassassian]

At least diarrhea can be treated. Prions from mystery "beef" is way worst.  

[u/BlakeBallache]

To what? Cake?

[u/throwawaylol666666 → u/BlakeBallache]

According to this fucking POS, you can eat “a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla, and one other thing.”

[u/Paraxom → u/throwawaylol666666]

can that other thing be "the rich"

[u/1877KlownsForKids → u/Paraxom]

Way too contaminated with GLP-1 and Botox now. I'm sure they'll make a good fuel source though.

[u/Gold-Perspective-699 → u/throwawaylol666666]

Am I allowed a pinch of salt sir?

[u/Mental-Scholar6856 → u/Gold-Perspective-699]

May I have some more sir?

[u/ExoticToothpaste6989 → u/Mental-Scholar6856]

MORE??!!

[u/IPredictAReddit → u/throwawaylol666666]

The right had a period where they were convinced that Biden was going to make everyone eat bugs (because, like, some niche brand came up with a cricket burger or something like that).

Since everything the right says is just projection, I'm pretty sure the other thing is "bugs"

[u/Carbonatite → u/IPredictAReddit]

With lax food safety standards it's definitely a nonzero amount of bugs.

[u/Lone-Frequency → u/IPredictAReddit]

You'll eat your 100% Insect Protein State-Mandated Nutrient Cube for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and you'll LIKE IT!

[u/RoadkillVenison → u/throwawaylol666666]

Yeah, chicken is so affordable right now. 🙄

Shit costs as much as beef used to cost, and they both cost too damn much.

[u/Mental-Coconut-7854 → u/RoadkillVenison]

I’m on day 2 in the past week on ground chicken. $4 a pound.

Sour cream and onion chicken meatballs and egg noodles

Lettuce wraps

My Kroger ran out of ground pork, I think that’s a sign ground beef is too damn high. Or is substandard. Or is horse.

[u/one_pound_of_flesh → u/BlakeBallache]

The cake was a lie

[u/DookieShoez → u/one_pound_of_flesh]

You will be baked, and then there will be cake.

[u/jinreeko → u/BlakeBallache]

Nope. Reagan already covered this. If poor people buy cakes they're welfare queens

[u/blackcain]

Imagine if Biden or Obama said that. We should ask our maga friends if they will listen to their God blessed president and do as ordered ?

[u/Desperate-Till-9228 → u/blackcain]

DIJON MUSTARD, bro!

[u/one_pound_of_flesh → u/Desperate-Till-9228]

The suit was tan. TAN! what a slap in the face to the American people, and the troops.

[u/Special_Order-937 → u/one_pound_of_flesh]

The stupidest part about this possibly is that there are pictures of Reagan in a similarly shaded tan-like suit that predates this by many years.

[u/drawkward101 → u/Special_Order-937]

Yeah, but Reagan was white.

[u/ciel_lanila → u/blackcain]

Democrats asked the country to eat less beef for the good of the environment and Republicans went full fascist.

Trump says lol, don’t eat beef poors, and…. We will see.

[u/Chemical_Economy_933 → u/blackcain]

I remember not too long ago they were trying to say the democrats were trying to take away gas ranges. This makes that seem laughable - as it was when that propaganda took foot.

[u/Johnny_Appleweed → u/Chemical_Economy_933]

Some government agency published a report saying eating less meat would help climate change and republicans spent two weeks screaming, crying, and throwing up about how “global elites” were going to force them all to eat bugs.

[u/Romano16 → u/blackcain]

Obama is black, he is held to the highest of standards.

[u/relikter → u/blackcain]

Carter told the country to put on a sweater and set their thermostats a little lower in 1977 and got an enormous amount of shit for it. Carter didn't have anything to do with the wars that were going on at the time or the colder than average winter that year, unlike the current administration directly causing this with tariffs, a war, and rolled back regulations/funding.

[u/schwing710]

Bro, we don’t want your tainted Argentinian beef to begin with. I’m done eating beef for the foreseeable future. You can feed that roadkill shit to RFK Jr

[u/WalesIsForTheWhales → u/schwing710]

I've severely cut down my beef intake.  The prices are too high and it's now risky 

[u/the_tinsmith → u/schwing710]

Better stick to lettuce. Nothing can go wrong there

[u/schwing710 → u/the_tinsmith]

Memories of the old SNL sketch for Colon Blow cereal coming to mind…

[u/cybah → u/schwing710]

How many bowls of total does it take to match the colon cleaning power of Colon Blow? You’d have to eat 10,000 bowls ..

[u/failedaspotcheck]

Wow, first he accidentally becomes a huge renewables promoter with his diasterous oil war, now he's getting Americans to go vegetarian too?

Most woke president of my lifetime

[u/Never-Dont-Give-Up → u/failedaspotcheck]

He’s definitely the sleepiest president we’ve ever had.

“Fuck, another meeting in front of cameras where I’m not speaking? Where’s the My Pillow dude? TACO sleep!”

[u/one_pound_of_flesh]

And Texans still vote for him.

Giving up steak to own the libs.

[u/schwing710 → u/one_pound_of_flesh]

Oh great, now they’ll live longer

[u/Tricky_Damage5981 → u/schwing710]

They still got beer and cigarettes

[u/elmoparty → u/Tricky_Damage5981]

Yeah but every miserable bastard i know that smokes and drinks constantly still lives to be 100

[u/BungholeBilbo69]

Cattle ranchers will absolutely love that line lol

[u/TesticleMeElmo → u/BungholeBilbo69]

I did see a TikTok last night from a rancher who still claimed that they would never vote for a democrat because when they complained about Trump screwing up the beef industry online people kept asking them who they voted for and that really hurt their feelings

[u/confused_ape → u/TesticleMeElmo]

fuck their feelings amirite ?

[u/mostlyfire → u/BungholeBilbo69]

They’ll never see it. The algorithm protects their poor little eyes.

[u/GluggGlugg]

It’s a Republican war on hamburgers. 

[u/OdiousAltRightBalrog → u/GluggGlugg]

I can't wait for the Republican War on Christmas, after Trump tells us to stop buying presents.

[u/Caller_ID_Unknown]

"Let them eat cake"

[u/Bearski79]

It's one banana, Michael. What could it cost, ten dollars?

[u/No_Durian_6987 → u/Bearski79]

There’s always money in the banana stand.

[u/Chance5e]

Ranchers gotta LOVE hearing that. Cmon Red States he’s throwing you under the bus.

[u/onsomenextsheit → u/Chance5e]

All of a sudden, vegetarianism won't be woke anymore

[u/Taint_Liquor]

Ground beef is $11.99 a pound here, we're definitely eating less beef. But, replace it with salmon? You gotta be fucking kidding me. That's over $20 a pound.

[u/ddoyen → u/Taint_Liquor]

Tofu is still pretty affordable comparatively. 3 to 4 bucks a lb. Takes a little time to learn to prepare it well tho.

[u/BunnyWithGunny]

Republicans becoming vegetarian to own the libs. What a time to be alive.

[u/89jep]

Now imagine the outrage if an official from Biden administration said that.

[u/williamfbuckwheat → u/89jep]

Carter got voted out of office for telling Americans to wear a sweater and turn down the thermostat a little during the 70s oil crisis when there were all kinds of issues happening with the supply along with the embargo. Now we have Trump who has created his own oil crisis after trying to conquer another country one weekend on a whim (along with countless other issues he made worse) and he somehow has loads of supporters who pretend everything is fine and they don't need stuff like beef or diesel for their big trucks anymore. 

[u/Relative-Fault-7116]

same people that complained for months about the price of eggs in 2024

[u/DarthSh1ttyus → u/Relative-Fault-7116]

They made up bullshit under biden about how democrats were gonna limit you to 4 lbs of red meat per year.

[u/peskyghost]

These are the same people who were ready to burn the country to the ground when they couldn’t get a haircut in 2020 but yeah tell em to give up beef I’m sure they will react very rationally

[u/YesterShill]

Can you imagine the right wing outrage if a Democrat told Americans to eat less beef?

[u/randolphharvey]

“Stop eating beef”
“Stop driving cars”

Sheesh. Trump 2.0 is a Republican scheme to turn Americans into vegetarian hippies.

[u/Competitive-Dot181]

Cool. Cool cool cool. People decided the fat guy from The Apprentice should lead the free world and now you can’t eat a fucking steak dinner. I saw a poor guy at the supermarket this weekend just kind of looking wistfully at the rib-eye.

[u/Astrowelkyn]

“Let them eat cake”

[u/readerf52]

She is quoted as saying: “But if it is too expensive — unlike fuel, Benny — you can eat chicken, pork, salmon, eggs.”

Has this woman bought chicken, pork and for the love of little green apples, salmon lately?

Nothing says you are out of touch quite like something like this.

[u/aeraen]

We've passed the "Prices are going down," and "Its not expensive," and are now into "You don't need that, anyway," stage of the lie.

[u/Ill-Highlight-9467]

Weren’t they just making fun of Talarico for being a vegetarian?

[u/Efficient-Variety342]

Sounds like we need to change the administration, just saying

[u/Cautious_Condition82]

Man if Biden said this shit MAGA heads would have exploded, non-stop media coverage and we would literally never hear the end of the time a democrat suggested people dont eat beef. 

Dont eat, don't take vacations, don't travel unnecessarily, just be thankful to Trump since everything is clearly better than its ever been..

[u/TheEngine]

Oh the National Cattlemen's Beef Association is just gonna love this.

[u/baubowebb]

Could you imagine if a democratic politician even dare to utter those words?

[u/rglazner]

"Beef's only for rich people now" is a great message.

[u/LLVC87]

Vegans and PETA now is your time to rise up and accelerate your agenda 😝

[u/zubuneri]

MAGA in 2024: I’m voting Trump because eggs are too expensive

MAGA in 2026: lol I’m fucking starving

[u/Never-Dont-Give-Up]

Yet beef farmers vote for him. He’s literally telling people to stop eating their product.

They’ll vote Republican again. Zero sympathy.

[u/GreatTea3415]

Trump had done more for veganism than any president in history

[u/TheBlueBlaze]

This was always the plan: Run on fixing everything, then say everything was fixed, and call anyone saying that's not true a hater, unpatriotic, fake, the cause of the problems, or not trying hard enough.

This last decade of politics has been defined by feelings over fact, and siding with feelings when the two collide. It's proven that there are people who will watch the world around them crumble before admitting they were wrong, and we're seeing and living the consequences.

[u/pkubee]

You know what? I think we’ll change who’s in charge instead 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/iiTzSTeVO]

Let them eat salmon.

[u/bbutter55]

Meat for me but not for thee

[u/PaleCommission150]

lol I'm sure all the ranchers that voted for him love hearing this.

[u/alexji89]

Republicans then - "Vote for us because Dems are going to take your beef!"

Republicans now - "We wrecked the economy so much that you can't afford beef!"

[u/AntonioLovesHippos]

Better to change the president

[u/natural_disaster0]

Like that Christmas when Trump said "some kids will get less toys" when tariffs affected toy sales.

[u/SubwayHero4Ever]

Remember when Michelle Obama wanted to make kids and even adults eat better and republicans ruthless mocked her? Maybe these clowns should be force fed some shit for once.

[u/foxinHI]

I just want to remind everyone that disrupting the food supply was part of project 2025.

Their ineptitude is intentional.

[u/Techno_Gerbil]

So Trump was a plant all along?

Well played, Big Vegan, well played. 👏

[u/Necessary_Grass_2313]

The party of small government telling us what to eat.

[u/dmetzcher]

Let’s play my favorite game!

“What if Obama said this?”

Remember when President Obama suggested that we should strive to send all children to college, and Rick Santorum (along with other Republicans) called him a “snob” because how dare he!

Remember when Michelle Obama planted a little garden at the White House and encouraged others to do the same and eat healthier? No mandates. No executive orders. The FDA didn’t kick in anyone’s door—she just planted a garden and did typical, boring, belongs-on-a-morning-show First Lady stuff, but the Republicans lost their minds and accused her of trying to dictate the diets of American citizens.

These were the same Republicans who’d encouraged the Obamas to plant a garden when they first entered the White House. What? You don’t remember the memes of a watermelon garden at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue that were shared by multiple Republicans on social media? Was that not a request for a garden? They told us it wasn’t racist, so I guess I just assumed they wanted a nice garden. I’m confused!

Fucking racist assholes.

Now, we have a president who drove up the price of beef because he wanted to give his former business associate—who now happens to be the leader of Argentina—a sweet deal on Argentinian beef imports, and that same president is telling Americans to go fuck themselves if they don’t like it.

This is how dictators act. They do as they please, and the moment you express disappointment with one of their policies or the way it plays out, even if you’ve sold your soul to support them, they turn on you—and you become an enemy.

That’s what you are now, American Farmer. You’re his enemy. You sold your soul to support this clown and his party—despite neither Trump nor Republicans ever supporting family farms—and now you’re unhappy, but you can’t say anything because your emperor will turn on you.

Enjoy it. I know I am. Vote better next time, you bunch of fucking idiots. Your livestock has more brains than most of you.

[u/SmartaHari]

It’s “Let them eat cake” all over again isn’t? But this time round, the wigs and the tailoring of the despots are very low quality.

[u/wavaif4824]

"Let them not eat steak!"

[u/EMILMUZZzz]

He’s right you know. Americans should really start eating the rich.

[u/MoulanRougeFae]

Do these people not know their history? Food shortage and expense is what kicked the French revolution from an angry simmer to an all out explosion of anger. It is what was basically the straw that broke that donkey's back. They are flirting awfully close to that outcome... I mean the weath disparity is wider now than during that revolution. And flippant, shitty comments like that will definitely set anger brewing in a lot of folks right now.

[u/Dumeck]

I like how she lists salmon in her list like fish prices haven't absolutely skyrocketed in the last few years.

[u/flameforth]

France revolted when the ultra rich elite told the plebs to "eat cake" when they couldn't afford basic needs. 

Marie Antoinette's head is laughing from the irony. 

[u/Bill_Brasky_SOB]

Let them eat cake!

[u/LordMimsyPorpington]

I unironically love that the Trump administration is forcing people to go vegan, lol.

It was only yesterday that these same petulant assweasels were wildly fearmongering about how the Green New Deal was going to "take our hamburgers away"--it was one their most prominent excuses to vehemently oppose it--and now here they are gangbanging the bloated corpse of irony.

Eat soy burgers instead of beef. Walk or take the bus instead of driving.
Wear a sweater instead of turning up the heat.
Stop driving into the office every day and work from home.

I promise you these are going to be the new Republican talking points. They are hoping that we don't remember that they have always been "anti-" these things. And they are hoping we don't imagine what they would be saying if Obama or Biden was giving us this advice.

The hell of it is, no one in the conservative forums will even hear this.

[u/kpa1233]

Way ahead of you, no more beef until the pig is gone.

[u/kathleen65]

Sounds like a good idea.

He was elected out of a desire to cruelly and viciously hurt his enemies. And the American people are his enemy.

That's right! Fuck those cattle ranchers who voted for you right in thier collective ass!

They sure got what they voted for! /s

Christmas too expensive? Buy fewer presents.

Food too expensive? Eat less.

Gas and electricity too expensive? Drive less and watch less tv.

But above all, everything is Biden's and Obama's fault!

[u/WildBad7298]

It seems like there are four Republican responses to problems:

"The problem isn't actually happening."

"The problem is happening, but it's actually a good thing."

"The problem is happening, but it's all Biden/Obama/Hillary/Democrats' fault."

"The problem is happening, but fuck you, we're not going to do anything about it, because we know that no matter what we do, there's no way in hell our voters will elect a Democrat."

It's straight out of The Narcissist's Prayer.

I mean we switched out ground beef for turkey for health reasons and it's saved us money so far.

[u/alabasterskim]

Please imagine for a sec if Obama or Biden said this

[u/smellslikebigfootdic]

She mentioned salmon which is more expensive than beef

[u/TheFutureMrGittes]

Can’t you guys eat more of that delicious, diarrhea inducing lettuce you have?

[u/jstaobsrvr]

MAGA is going vegan…who had this on their apocalypse bingo card?

[u/Crommach]

Suggesting people cut back on our eliminate meat in their diet for the good of the climate? Unacceptable communist tyranny!

Snidely telling people to just eat something else if they can't afford what was once an affordable staple, due to their own dogshit policy decisions? Praise Trump regardless and pivot to blaming liberals or the current culture war talking points.

Let them eat cake.

[u/raging-peanuts]

After you tubby.

[u/NerdLawyer55]

Let them eat cake tofu

[u/gardengirl99]

Him first.

I swear, it's like this country is in an abusive marriage with this administration.
