“My tummy hurts and I’m mad at the government”
“My tummy hurts and I’m mad at the government” is a saying that has been printed on many images. “My tummy hurts” became a meme in 2019 and 2020.
“my tummy hurts… and i’m mad at the GOVERNMENT (and a little chilly)” was posted on X/Twitter by “Zengonzo (of which the Moon is a part)” on July 17, 2022. “My Tummy Hurts And I’m Mad At Government T Shirts https://teechip.com/my-tummy-hurts-and-i-m-mad-at-government-t-shirts” was posted on X/Twitter by Mattie on July 18, 2022. “My Tummy Hurts And I’m Mad At The Government Shirt.

Many people have stomach problems because of poisons in their food. “I’m mad at the government” is an added statement assigning blame to the “my tummy hurts” problem. Some people might view this blame as misdirected (for example, the speaker might have eaten too much junk food), while others might view the speaker’s anger as legitimate (for example, the FDA allows even “healthy” foods such as fruits and vegetables to be sprayed with chemicals). The saying can also be viewed as two unrelated statements about the speaker’s feelings.
