      I left Reddit for Lemmy a month ago.

      The comments in politics communities around here do not live up to Reddit’s yet. Close sometimes.

      This comment is the first time I’ve actually laughed. Brilliant. I actually went at read the article just because of this comment. Cheers.

          It wasn’t a play on words. PEPFAR had bipartisan support until recent months when heritage foundation decided to target it for made-up abortion fears. It was truly keeping it real by just being a health benefit program for countries that needed help fighting aids and it has saved millions of lives. But 20 years later in today’s political climate it is somehow controversial.
