“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.”

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Lookup the counties with the highest concentration of SNAP beneficiaries, then do Medicaid.

Stuff like this really underscores how dumb reactionary politics are. It's just so transparently fake and disingenuous but yet so powerful. Shame on this electorate.

This is an example of what I’m talking about. Functionally, Patel is probably one of the movements most effective agents at delivering policy aims, but they want Patel gone because they hate the fact that he’s a part of this country AND he celebrates Diwali, that isn’t in the program.

It had plausible deniability for a while, but that’s all gone now. Maga is a cultural indoctrination program for laundering fascist tyranny.

maga is operationally unamerican at this point. the fixation on misdirection, psyops, and conspiracy thinking make it impossible to see anything rooted in good faith. nothing is genuine except for hatred of what america actually is.
