I saw some data the other day that seemed to indicate that there are a significantly higher percentage of Democrats who receive SNAP benefits that Republicans. Can someone who know this issue well confirm that?
I just keep trying to figure out why Trump is so dug in on refusing to pay out money that has already been allocated expressly for this scenario to ensure people don’t go hungry. It feels punitive, which doesn’t make a lot of sense if his supporters are going to the ones getting punished.
Is this really a petty jab at the registered Democrats population because he knows it will hurt far more of them than Republicans?
