  1. They know. They don’t care. Most of those people don’t have time to vote because they are already working two jobs, at least.

  2. I bet if wages had kept up with productivity over the last 50 years, we wouldn’t have near as many people depending on safety nets. Just thinking out loud.

  3. Afraid?

    That’s the plan, they want to trigger the insurrection act and them withholding SNAP is going to be the means to do it

  4. No need to worry if you know there’s not going to be a midterm.

  5. You know those Epstein files are juicy af, that they’d rather keep the government shut down and Americans starving than release the files.

  6. Almost 3m in Florida and 3.5m in Texas. In Louisiana, almost 20% of the state is on SNAP. Gonna have to tighten those belt buckles and hope people figure out how they made this happen.

  7. The oligarch congress is willing to starve poor children to pass Big Billionaire Handouts !?!?!

    Fucking Shocked Karl Marx Face

  8. But America great right ? America so much gooder than europopoor, right ?

  9. I think if the government shuts down, they all should lose their jobs. It’s literally their job to keep the government running. I don’t care what side of the isle you are on. This is insanity

  10. “They’re loyal beasts.”

    “They were. Now they’re starving.”

  11. Stuff like this reminds me how much I like my Senators. We at least elect people that are looking out for this state

  12. the hit to the stockmarket will be bigger than projected and they know this and will probably keep the government shutdown until after the next quarter

    the money is there and ppl will realize that this was planned

  13. Senators don’t work for the people. I assure you they do not care

  14. Bread riots are historically not good for political stability.

  15. This is why they make sure the military is funded and they’re paying troops. They’re more than happy to squash civil unrest with military force. They just have to hope that the military wants to side with authoritarianism like other dictatorships rather than upholding the constitution that they supposedly swore an oath to. It’ll be interesting to see how it plays out but I’m leaning towards military happily following orders and hoping that Nuremberg trials 2.0 doesn’t catch up to them

  16. Which most likely means, that they would be completely without healthcare, if gop got their way.

  17. See this is what I don’t understand. Presumably people get into politics because they eventually want to wield enough power in order to effect change. Republicans in Congress seemingly have willingly given up every ounce of any power they hold or might hold and given it all to Trump. It really changes how I understand politics and the Republican mind. Republicans like to claim that Democrats are mentally subservient, but I bet if Trump asked a Republican senator if he could sleep with his wife the senator would sheepishly ask if he could sit in the corner and watch.

  18. May they never have a peaceful day or night. I hope they have to look over their shoulder everyday wondering if it’s their last day on earth. They say we’re 9 meals away from a revolution. Someone who’s missed their 10th meal might comes calling, especially if it’s their child’s tenth meal missed …

  19. The fucked up thing is SNAP has built in contingency funding for things like a government shutdown. But the White House has *ordered* the Department of Health and Human Services NOT to use it.

    The cruelty is the point.

    They want to starve the masses so they put pressure on the democrats to cave to the GOP’s demands.
