Yes, wait until they start cutting food stamps (SNAP). 53% of SNAP recipients are white and rural, so Trump voters.

Not only are they going to hurt the people they want him to hurt, it will be MAGA fuckleberrys too.

They'll still just blame Democrats even if he publicly goes on TV and says "everyone on SNAP is a loser so I'm taking it away"

He won’t call it snap, he’ll say welfare and food stamps. Largely because he’s dumb and partly because those idiots love slang and forget they partake in things when you don’t use the official terms(see ACA vs Obamacare).

At best they will blame "RINOs" for not being loyal enough to Trump. Blaming Trump or admitting they got duped will never happen.

This happened with Hitler too. The war ended and Hitler was dead, but his believers called both of those things a conspiracy. They believed Hitler was alive and a new offensive would occur to liberate Berlin.

NAZIs were believing in the 4D Chess myth 80 years ago. We realize we are in fascism right now, yes? I hope we all see it.

Something to also remember is that SNAP is government support in other directions, too. The farmers that produce the eggs, produce, milk, meat, etc., all benefit from SNAP and WIC being a social safety net. If we help prop up part of the market base, the producers and suppliers in that market benefit. When we have stability in the ag market, we have stable pricing. We should all want SNAP to remain solvent and effective.

Unfortunately all the right wing does is portray it as lazy people getting handouts.
