Ohhh, they're opposing universal free meals while wanting to keep the free meals for students from poor families. That makes way more sense than opposing both. Not cartoonishly evil. It's possible that it's for purely utilitarian reasons.

Typical politics taking things out of context and extrapolating.

(No, I am not endorsing the republican party or saying that universal free meals for students should be blocked.)

It isn't quite as insane as the headline makes it sound.

But anyway, maybe Republicans are worried that if anyone sees a "socialist" type of program at work they might think it is kind of a good idea in certain circumstances. O noes 😨
