This TRIGGERED Thread On Trump’s Fast Food Feast Is Everything Wrong With The Left

As Hannah mentioned earlier, the Clemson football team visited the White House today, and President Trump greeted them with an array of classic American fast food.

The government shutdown has affected White House staff, so Trump simply took matters into his own hands and PAID FOR IT ALL HIMSELF.

“Because the Democrats refuse to negotiate on border security, much of the residence staff at the White House is furloughed…the President is personally paying for the event to be catered with some of everyone’s favorite fast foods,” Sarah Sanders said in a statement.

Hannah ALSO mentioned that the internet libs are aboslutely LOSING THEIR MINDS over this. I mean, you’d think Trump force-fed their vegan a$$es a bunch of sausage or something. (Yuummm. Sausage.)

But nothing – I MEAN NOTHING – compares to the hysterical hissy fit this snowflake just threw OVER HAMBURGERS.

Vox’s David Roberts took it to a whole new unhinged liberal level:

1. US fast food emerges out of a vast network of animal suffering & ecological destruction & in turn has produced an epidemic of ill health. In large swathes of the country it is the cheapest & sometimes only option, thanks to a skein of implicit & explicit subsidies … https://t.co/DmXHMrCcH0

2. … backed by ubiquitous, relentless corporate advertising. Yet somehow this unholy stew of capitalist exploitation & corporate welfare has taken on a vaguely populist air. Already I guarantee there are people responding to the first tweet calling me a tedious scold.

3. Yes, in many places fast food is the cheapest option, so many poor & working class people depend on it. Yes, it tastes good, because it is literally designed in f’ing laboratories to stimulate our taste centers. So, yes, lots of ordinary people eat it & like it! But …

4. … it is super-weird to then extend fast food some sort of populist credibility, as though to criticize it is to criticize the people who eat it. It seems to me that is exactly what McF'ingDonalds wants. It's what Chevrolet & WalMart want. They all want a protective sheen …

5. … of virtue, patriotism, populism, down-home community, derived from the people who use their products. But that’s just advertising. These are giant multinational corporations. Their primary objective is to deliver quarterly returns to shareholders. All else is subordinate.

6. They lobby & bribe politicians to regulate them loosely, to subsidize their products, & above all to help them avoid financial responsibility for the social, health, & ecological damage they do. They plaster advertising on every available surface, object, or medium.

— David Roberts (@drvox) January 15, 2019

7. The status quo is a corrupt deal between multinational corporations & politicians. It’s a crap deal for ordinary people, as evidenced by the health outcomes. The fact that they’ve got ordinary people defending them, casting critics as elitist, is a brilliant f’ing con.

— David Roberts (@drvox) January 15, 2019

8. It’s corporatism & crony capitalism masquerading as populism — a bunch of confused & vaguely reactionary narratives distracting from the core goal of concentrating more wealth & power at the top. In short, it is Trump all over. </fin> pic.twitter.com/0ULyC3Hb3e

I could respond to all of this, but my eyes literally rolled out of their sockets. I have to go find them. I have no time for this absurdity.

But I’ll leave you with this:
