A super morbidly obese Democratic influencer has said she has lost 50 lbs because she can no longer afford to eat.
Olivia Julianna, who boasts over 330,000 followers on the X platform and touts herself as a Democratic strategist, said she had lost weight because she can no longer afford food.
”I’m actually down 50 pounds because I can’t afford to eat in Trump’s economy,” she said.
I’ve lost 50 pounds since September 1st. Here is a photo of me next to an absurdly tall mountain of cheese puffs which yes I realize is extremely ironic in this context. But when you see a 10 foot tall mountain of cheese puffs how do you not take a picture? pic.twitter.com/4RYSmqhHeX

Her comments were a response to a user who joked that she would go on a hunger strike until funding for the U.S. Agency for International Development was restored.
In a recent profile with Bloomberg, Julianna described herself as a “queer, plus-size, disabled Latina.”
The profile explained:
A fourth-generation Texan, she also uses social media to advocate for other causes affecting young people, such as fighting climate change.
She’s campaigned online against Texas Governor Greg Abbott—she promoted Beto O’Rourke’s candidacy on TikTok with the hashtag #bestiebeto—and the state’s attorney general, Ken Paxton.
Her followers on TikTok, Instagram and Twitter have reached about 1 million combined, and publications including Teen Vogue have written about her efforts to take on bullying politicians with savvy trolling techniques.
Julianna’s prominence even earned her a speaking slot at the Democratic National Convention last August where she urged fellow young people to rally behind Kamala Harris.
“Donald Trump’s Republicans are making it harder for us to vote, but we won’t let them get away with it and Kamala Harris won’t let them get away with it either,” she said during her speech.
“As the saying goes, if you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu. So Gen Z, let’s take our seat in our democracy.”

Sadly for Julianna, Americans had other ideas and voters delivered Harris and the Democratic Party a crushing and unforgettable defeat.
