Trump voters in the South might end up paying for their vote with food stamps. #MAGA!

[Miles Archer]

In West Virginia, 20 percent of residents relied on food stamps in 2016. SNAP purchases made with these food stamps pumped $499 million into the state's economy last year. Just under 68 percent of West Virginians voted Republican last November.

In Mississippi, 19 percent of residents relied on food stamps in 2016. Twenty two percent of residents live below the poverty line. Just under 60 percent voted for Trump.

In Alabama, 17 of residents relied on food stamps in 2016. Seventy one percent of the state's food stamp recipients are families with children, compared to 68 percent nationally. More than 60 percent of the state voted for Trump in 2016.

In Tennessee, 17 percent of residents relied on food stamps in 2016. Nearly sixty one percent of voters opted for Trump in the presidential election.

1. Even with the budget news

Those voters won't believe it applies to them - until the card stops working.

2. So what will happen when all those cards stop working?

Will those folks blame Trump? What will their preachers tell them to do?

5. This is the black guy's fault

Only Obama is to blame. He gave all the money to Muslims and Mexicans, now there's nothing left for you. Now, support Trump to MAGA so we can bring back food stamps in 2020!

7. That's exactly right.

If Obama hadn't fucked up the economy, then there'd be money for these social programs. They'll continue to prostrate themselves before their hideous orange idol because he's fixing the mess that Obama created for him.

Also, they'll blame the single black mother of two who had the nerve to by soda with foodstamps last month.

9. Non-Trump voters in the South will ALSO end up paying with food stamps.

In the GOP mind, only black people use food stamps, therefor cutting this 'entitlement' will only hurt black Democrats. This is untrue, but they all seem to believe it, even the poor whites who use food stamps. In their minds, they 'deserve' the assistance. It's the blacks and immigrants who are lazy freeloaders and must be stopped. Sigh. Oh well, when their cards stop working too, maybe they will sort it out.

Aside from all this political wrangling, it's innocent children who will suffer the most. Greed is a cancer that has metastasized in our country.
