Not “The Onion”

But, lordy, how it reads like it is.
Some lowlights:
*”I’d vote for him again 20 more times if I could,” said Hal McWilliams, 59, a self-employed contractor from Portageville. “Build the wall! …Democrats do everything in their power to destroy this country. Hillary Clinton was everything I am against. She was out to destroy the culture that made this country: Hard work, guns, freedom.”
*Community Action runs a host of programs, from job training to rental assistance to housing weatherization, all funded by the Community Services Block Grant and other federal programs that Trump wants to eliminate or dramatically cut.
That seemed to be of little concern to most of the people packing their pickups with fresh produce and other items at last week’s food bank.
Told that the food bank was in danger, McWilliams shrugged and said: “I grow most of my own food anyway.”
*”He’s about action,” said Clark, who didn’t vote for Trump but said he would do so if he could vote again now. “I believe he’s doing pretty much everything he promised to do.”
*”We love him,” said Keith Muhlenbeck, 46. “We support him in everything he’s doing. He’s a businessman who knows how to get things done, and you can tell he has America’s best interests at heart.”
*As for Trump’s proposed budget cuts, Muhlenbeck doesn’t worry that the food bank his family depends on will be forced to shut down.
“I’m sure they’ll find the money somewhere,” he said.
I get it now. Magical thinking got Trump elected.
