“It’s not enough that I should eat, children should starve. “ -the gop.

Either that or "I don't believe that anyone is starving. I just ate a large lunch so obviously nobody is going hungry."

They only recognize that something is real when it affects them personally. If it doesn't then they'll either claim the thing doesn't exist or will say it's that person's fault that they are going through that (likely for being "too lazy" to pull themselves up by their bootstraps).

“I don’t believe that anyone is starving. I just ate a large lunch so obviously nobody is going hungry.”

Exactly. Same energy as "I made a snowball in January so obviously global warming doesn't exist and neither does the sun by the way." Weaponized incompetence at the object permanence level.

If it was just apathy, they wouldn't be going out of their way like this to make it worse. ~Cherri
