The Democrats may have caved, but how many people will now be getting food from SNAP benefits, that Trump has tried to stop?

I remember the Reagan advertisement of the welfare queen with two Cadillacs.

It was complete race baiting for whites. And unfortunately worked.

Then Bush Sr Willie Horton ad. More racist shit from GOP candidates.

And on it goes.

If we required our ‘successful American companies’ to pay an actual living wage there’d be a lot less need for supplemental food assistance. This is a class war, make no mistake.

If I were trying to destroy the Constitution, generalize corruption, and have all of us join the dark side, I can't think of anything else I would do that Trump is not already doing or isn't on his wish-list.

So far, Trump thinks his racist, hate-filled base voters are too stupid to realize their beloved Fuhrer is hurting them! Hate "trumps" basic awareness, again.

Government actions create the ‘poverty class’, then punish their ‘victims’.

My parents volunteer at our local food bank. I don't have much, but I'm giving what I have to them tomorrow to take with them. My daughter and I have good jobs, and will be fine. Others will not. And with the report today stating that the regime is making states reverse the payments made to SNAP recipients so far in November, I need to do everything I can.

Using the poor and underprivileged as pawns in their game is a technique that the wealthy and powerful have used throughout human history to subjugate populations and make them compliant with their tormentors so that they can be manipulated to do whatever the elite class wants them to do. In this case it is unclear what the ruling class is trying to do except maybe 🤔 some kind of Machiavellian form of ethnic cleansing which makes no sense given that the people affected by the food crisis are largely those who voted for these bastards in the first place. The whole debacle makes absolutely zero sense to me. 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

Why do I take so much pleasure in watching hecklers at the food lines inquiring what happened to all the MAGA hats?

The saddest thing of all is that the vast majority of the MAGAs losing their SNAP benefits will blame the Democratic Party and/or Biden.

Exposing their blindered bias and ignorance. But then, that will be no surprise. 😵‍💫

The hardcore cult will but I predict a solid plurality of Trump voters will not.

My maga asserted, "less than 3% of those on SNAP are white."

Fact is 37% are white; 26% Black/African American; 16% Hispanic; 4% Asian; less than 1% Native American.

Drump kills everything he touches. Spending money like a drunken soldier on unapproved budgets by robbing one budget line and another. He’s running the country like it’s his own money and we all know he can’t manage money. Daddy’s not here to guide him. Someone better get back to the capital and impeach him or all their careers are over.

Thanks Rick: Clearly stated. This administration could care less of the common folks its all about greed and cruelty. They want to dine on filet mignon and suck back their classical Trump wines while the common folks grovel and scratch the earth for a few vittles to survive. Trump is going to fix it alright , for his billionaire buds and corporations. BEWARE: Another thing to be really concerned about if it is true The USPS mail processing facilities are been or will be taken over by the government and will no longer be accessible to the public.
