The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer
Yes, in these vote-suppressing states, gop wins by appealing to white constituents racism. They don’t want to help the ‘wrong people’ - it’s not complicated
And they continue the legacy of Reagan's dog whistle by leading constituents to assume these programs predominantly help people of color, when a plurality of SNAP beneficiaries are white
Unfortunately there are going to be folk who think the lever to stop food benefits was right next to the lever for high inflation and high oil prices, which they assume is all the responsibility of the current President. It feeds the "the status quo is bad, so we should elect someone new" narrative.
It sure as shit should. Their cruelty knows no bounds. They’re all about forcing you to have babies and then allowing them to be neglected when they could easily help. Assholes, all of them.
i doubt many people affected by these actions read usatoday. It’s up to dems to force this info in front of voters’ faces every day. Billboards. Local tv/paper ads. trucks with loudspeakers. Anything.
Saying it on msnbc won’t get it done.
Don’t you just love the party of pro life! But hey, President Biden is old, right. Most of those states are so gerrymandered now Democrats can’t win. Or it’s near impossible.
Oh you sweet spring child. It is nice that you feel this way. Sadly it will not cost them even one single vote. For republican voters (even the poor ones that would get this) it is what they like to see. The only ones who care are those who would not have voted for the GOP anyway.
