I love the idiocy of the view that the poorest among us are eating like kings for free while we all suffer and toil for peanuts. I mean, how dumb do you have to be? I’ve got a steal of a deal on some property on mars you may be interested in.
I have MAGA family. The first thing they always mention about SNAP is how “welfare queens” are gaming the system, even though they were all on food stamps at one point. It’s purely all about racism and punching down. They don’t like the idea of black and brown people eating on “their” taxdollars. However, when my brother was on food stamps, it was out of “necessity” because he relied on SNAP to feed his step children.
white people make up the largest block of snap recipients.
rural white people are represented very large chunk inside that group - I will never understand how trump can continually hurt his own voters (see: closing down hospitals in rural america, increasing the cost of healthcare in rural america etc.,) and still get their support and am left to conclude they’re deranged cultists, and dumb ones at that.
I’m open to counter examples but at this point… I know one republican, he’s basically an independent now because he’s disgusted by a draft dodging treason buffoon like most sane people should be. The ones holding trump up at this point are either entirely in on the hate (stephen miller, bannon, etc.,) or completely deranged cultists.
Same, overheard one day they are paying immigrants $3000 a month to not work. Like what in the actual fuck is wrong with these people? That doesn’t hold up to even the slightest bit of scrutiny. But there’s no reasoning with people who lack any form of it.
That’s how my dad was. He was the one only one who actually needed food stamps; everybody else was cheating the system. As far as I could tell, it wasn’t about race because he’d talk shit about other white people who used food stamps, too.

It’s definitely infuriating. Anything is “true” in their land of make believe…

Well at least your dad hated everyone equally ;)
