But having school lunches is really the only way to make sure those children have the opportunity to eat regular meals. Being a conservative doesn't mean you have to be a heartless dick.

This. That's one area I'm willing to waste money. At our local school no child is to be denied lunch. If there's an issue. I'll pay it. Same for school breakfast. We also have a program (yes, it's socialist) that sends at risk children home with healthy food and snacks in a back pack. I supplement at times with my own money...and no, it's not tax deductible. My wife and I also make sure all the kids have good winter coats and clothes. Teachers and counselors know to contact us when there's an issue. I have reached out to some super libs I know to see if they'd like to put their money where their social media mouth is. So far I've had zero takers. Same a Christmas.

But I support Trump and conservative policies overall. I'm their enemy, but if a fraction of them would step up and make individual sacrifices for the issues they champion, the problems would be solved without the need for gov't intervention, higher taxes or new laws. Instead, they'd rather preach from their high horses and demand more of others while doing jack shite themselves. If someone puts their time and money into a cause, I have zero issues with them and give full respect. It's those that only give mouth service and demand the services and resources of others to do what they are unwilling to do themselves.
