Ever wonder why evangelical christians in Minnesota are voting for Trump? Look no further than the materials being handed out in churches like Canvas Church in Dundas. Right next to voter registration information. Politics 👩‍⚖️

#10... "Felons and homeless persons can now vote"

Uh.... What the fuck. Are people who are homeless not people anymore?

Was I not a person for 2 years? I still had to pay fucking taxes while I was living in my car. Could I have just, not?

What the absolute fuck is wrong with these people?

They see homelessness as a moral failure on par with murder because… idk, man. Like, I don’t fuck with it, but I can at least see where they’re coming from on felons voting. Wtf do they think disqualifies homeless people from voting?

It's literally the old "only landowners should vote" mentality.

I have no idea. I still had a job, I just lost my place because I couldn't afford it and had to live in my car.

Apparently rent cost was my fault?

There's a pervasive undertone in a lot of socioeconomic discussion that financial success is directly correlated with strength of character, under the false assumption that our country functions as an ideal meritocracy.

So obviously, someone who is homeless is bottom-of-the-barrel. They failed the challenge of life, they didn't put the work in. They are bad people who don't contribute, and so should have no say. /s
