Uh...

Statistically speaking, Trump-leaning counties were more likely to be heavier users of food stamps since Trump won more counties in total numbers in the 2020 election – 2,585 compared to Biden’s 546 – despite losing both the popular vote and Electoral College votes, since counties that Biden carried were far more populous on average.

Despite his disproportionate support from counties relying more heavily on food stamps, however, Trump still sought to cut as many as 700,000 Americans from receiving the benefits. His plan was blocked by a federal court, and the Biden administration dropped an appeal of the decision shortly after taking office in 2021.

Among the 2,021 counties registering an increase in food stamp use, 78.7 percent favored Trump and only 21.3 percent cast a majority of votes for President Biden, highlighting the disproportionate reliance on food stamps among Republican-leaning counties. Among the 1,107 counties reporting a decrease, 78.9 percent voted for the Republican, while 10.5 percent went for Biden.

Who do you think voted for trump?

In most of those rural counties, everyone is on food stamps.

And because it's almost always state wide standards and they have much lower cost of living than urban areas, they think that don't need it can just sign up and get it, and that it's more than it takes to feed a family.

To justify taking it when they don't need it, they need to invent a "them" who needs it less, then taking the social program they're entitled to becomes a "I'd be stupid not to" and we end up on people poor enough for it thinking they'd be financially better off if it didn't exist.

Like, people shit talk them falling for it all the time, but no one ever stops and talks about why the propaganda works. And how the easiest way to beat it, is give it to fucking everyone.

Fund it plain and directly, and when people file their tax returns have it say "you paid X and you received Y". For the vast amount of Americans that math will always be favorable no matter how many social programs we have.

Somehow that reminded me of this gem

They might all be the same black friend. Clarence Thomas has a lot of white friends.

I'm pretty sure they've been digging for awhile.
