Criminalizing people for being poor is the most anti Christian thing I can think of. Go check your history JD. Reagan lead the charge to close most of the mental institutions and state homes. People are homeless thanks to capitalism. The wealthy damn near create all of our problems today.
I hate to bring this up bc Reagan was a twat waffle but Kennedy actually made that decision and the deadline fell during Reagan's term
Do tell. Never heard that before.

I know a lot of the history. Reagan killed the program and by the time I started working adjacent to mental health professionals and hearing what was happening there was no going back without taxing the rich and rebuilding the system.
Because, as I remember it, there were smaller, local institutions funded by the federal government thanks to JFK, and the Reagan Revolution pulled the funds...and it's been going on ever since.
Right. But there was at least someplace to treat. Those don't exist now. There is jail and the State Hospital where I am, and shitty, county run restoration projects. This is on Reagan and every Republican in any office anywhere since 1985
And..?
I heard someone say “We have poverty not because we cannot care for the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.” And if that ain’t the TRUTH
We're just peasants to them and we definitely out number them and I truly think it's time to equalize the wealth of everyone in this country and that's counting all their wealth in the whole world yachts jets and all their lands bet cha who ass they would be kissing now and no more donors to electio
Truth.
Ka-ching!
🎯 it’s never fucking enough for these billionaires at least 99% of them
Damn, that's brilliant.
Exactly! Punishing poverty while rewarding wealth accumulation is a moral failure of our systems. We should be addressing root causes instead of blaming those who are struggling

Oh I like that.
He's no christian.
I visited Los Angeles in ‘88. Crazy half naked people on the streets that needed help. It was sad to see.
Tbf, white supremacy has always draped itself in the cloak of Christianity, so calling them not Christian doesn’t really faze them, because believing non-white people deserve rights automatically renders you non-Christian in their eyes.
100 percent.
Cough *Gavin Newsome* Cough
Yup, definitely started closing mental hospitals nationwide under Reagan in the 80’s. Now they want to make cities/states responsible for housing the homeless, many who are mentally ill, without federal funding.
Exactly this. Fuck these arrogant, privileged ghouls.
Yep, dear saint maga Ronnie closed over 400 mental health institutions. He kicked off this trickle down bullshit.
It is the most pro American-Christian thing. American Christians are fierce bigots.
He only follows Confederate Jesus and Corporate Jesus.
IDK if they called it so much as they are aware of human history.
Well there is that. The older episodes had pretty smart writers.
Stepping on people below you is the defacto American dream.

I was coming here to say same thing regarding Reagan. Maybe give people the help they need and some may no longer need to be on the streets. JD needs to ask WWJD?
Christian?!? 😆😆 It prove that the louder you proclaim your religion, the least likely that your actions are consistent with it. He's a sick puppy.
Criminalizing people for being poor is the most Evangelical Christian thing I can think of.
