I think you drastically underestimate people's hatred. MAGA do indeed want for more people in Kenya to get AIDS.

You can't be serious, right? How does someone come to believe nonsense like this?

I think it’s less that they “WANT” more people to get HIV but instead they do know that doing this type of thing will cause more cases and they’re fine with it because “gods will” and a bigger plan and all that.

Even this is completely uncharitable. Every maga republican I know is just concerned with poorly articulated cost/benefits of such programs.

We the liberal elite grew up with institutions making these kinds of decisions and we trust it to a certain extent.

There's a trust gap. Even the staunchest republican I know will gladly volunteer to help their local community for the most part. That's their priority.

Why couldn't it be as simple as not wanting your taxes spent overseas when you're own communities are struggling?

It's hard to understand your adversary when you have so much contempt for them.
