That is the most made-up exchange I've ever heard. Has this guy ever talked to a conservative about this stuff??
The person complaining wouldn't agree that kids shouldn't be hungry, they'd complain about the kid's parents not working hard enough.
Yes, it is made up, he even said as much and that’s why it’s sad. It’s sad because it should be like that and that should be then end of it. You have identified the entire point of the post so rest assured that they know what conservatives have to say and they know that it’s bullshit.
In the world where conservatives, well, don’t exist(the people do but the ideology is gone to the landfill where it belongs) all of the excuses and bungus follow-ups like stuff about the parents would just not be important or said.
In the fictional world that this story takes place in, the conversation wouldn't happen at all
Nah, I've pretty much had this exact conversation with people before. Depending on how you frame the question, you generally will get this exact response.
You're okay with a child going hungry because their parents "didn't work hard enough"?
