Why this moocher red state doesn't hate socialism anymore
If Democrats have learned anything from Republicans and their voters during the first chaotic weeks of Donald Trump’s presidency, it’s that government spending is terrible, the worst, just out-of-control, and it must be frozen or cut—WAIT! NO, NOT THAT SPENDING. THAT SPENDING IS GOOD!
That’s the difference between us and them. Republicans only care when they are directly affected, and now it’s Alabama’s turn to suffer the consequences of their lopsided 65-34 vote for Trump in 2024.
“Alabama’s junior U.S. senator said she will work with President Donald Trump’s health secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to ‘ensure our nation remains at the forefront’ of innovation, research and care after funding cuts announced Friday night by the National Institutes of Health,” reported AL.com, Alabama’s main media outlet.
That junior senator is Katie Britt, who you might remember from that creepy State of the Union rebuttal speech last year (which was mocked so well by Scarlett Johansson on “Saturday Night Live”). It turns out Trump’s funding cuts to the NIH will deeply affect the University of Alabama system.
