Even though many are MAGATs

In the areas devastated by the Oregon wildfires, I’ve unconditionally donated to the local Red Cross and Local United Way. Cause that’s what liberals do. Helping the community makes us all stronger and healthier. (I live in Eugene)

Don’t donate to food banks or charities, at least the ones in my small but extended family

Anyone else find this to be true?

Not only do they not give, they berate me for collecting.

Another phenomena is the Church groups that have their own food banks. They don't help us collect, but they show up and angrily demand that their Church get a larger share. I have seen fights break out among these groups.
