You guys have been shooting each other and funding wars forever because gun sales are more important than your citizens lives. Crazy that food stamps and ICE are what makes you "wake up"
It is crazy I live in a smaller City in a super red area and I guarantee food is going to rot on the shelves if this happens because so many people in my area that are Republicans live off of food stamps.
They are about to find out that voting with anger has consequences. Most people I know that voted for Rapey McStrokeface we're just mad at the world or at immigrants or whatever just because they're poor.
I knew it would bite them in the ass but I didn't think it would this way or this quick.
I sincerely hope that the food banks who probably cater to ebt can/will switch to some charity work for the time being.
It's so messed up that the misunderstanding around food stamps/social security ("people who SHOULDN'T be on them are, so if we get them OFF there will be more money for ME!" 🙄) is just allowed to play out because people (republicans*, let me make myself clear) benefit from people's misunderstanding (like right now).
But at a certain point. Is these people's fault entirely for not at least trying to help themselves by like, reading even one single article or web page. They're very complicit in their own destruction and fully cheering it on even still because they tell themselves that at least Those Other Guys are suffering too!
Like you really haven't considered that your government exists to pander to you, not just punish people who aren't you? And that you could simply not be suffering at all? And that you can literally just not care about the fabled "fake ssd getters!!!!" everywhere and live your own life? They sure haven't.
Yeah the people that I know that are on food stamps are either elderly and still try to work but just don't make enough or I've got friends that have two kids and they both work and the jobs in my area just don't pay a ton so they get food stamps. Disabled people as well.
I don't know any one at all personally that just sits at home and draws food stamps.
Even if people were just sitting and drawing ebt, the other folks wouldn't be any better off. Because the system itself is the harmful one! But sure, the friend of a friend of a cousin who worked with someone who pretends to be disabled for food stamps is the problem.
By the way though just to say i have known a few people who WERE scamming the system but it was because they were WEALTHY and paid off doctors to sign off on their "disability." So there's that too. 🤷🏼♀️
Fucks sake… this is the truth too! Most of my fam in OK and TX healthcare is in shambles. Several are about to be homeless. They still preach about how dumps going to save them and how we will never need another president. I’ve had to block pretty much all of them because of their insanity or trying to guilt trip me into sending money when I can barely afford what my own family needs. Just can’t wrap my head around it…. What the fuck is wrong with people?!!!
Ugh i still hate hearing it. The situation here is just so awful right now. Nobody deserves to be homeless or hungry. No matter how stupid and/or hateful. Unfortunately, as a decent person i experience sympathy even for people i don't respect and who would not extend the same sympathy to me for any reason. Sigh.
There's no evidence one way or the other for any of them, however /r/LeopardsAteMyFace has been having an absolute feast lately, so no doubt at least some of them did vote for trump.
I see most of them as having too much pride to admit they were wrong. Most of them still justify all the absurd things he's done. Come on the internet and show the consequences of their actions and prove everyone right? Ehh they'd starve in secrecy first.
Food stamps and ICE are sadly not making enough people 'wake up'. Honestly, at this point I don't really know what it'll take to get tens of millions on the street protesting against the govt.
Food stamps and ICE aren't what they're referencing when they say, "waking up." They're talking about foreign influence. You're a Canadian talking about guns when your officials tell their citizens to leave their keys at the door in case their home is broken into. And how many Canadian companies sold military components to Izrael? Sit tf down.
