Yeah, I don't get it. I live in a rural area in Southern Illinois and I can verify that MANY families here receive WIC, SNAP and other government food assistance.

Notably, Trump has said he will appoint Musk to head a new government efficiency commission, and Musk has vowed to cut “at least $2 trillion” from the federal budget. Such cuts would decimate government services, including food programs and Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Supplemental nutrition programs disproportionately benefit rural areas, and Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are used much more heavily in counties that support Trump than those that don’t.
That will be a hard circle to square.
So will Trump’s promise to lower consumer costs while also putting tariffs of 10% to 20% on all foreign imports and of 60% on imports from China. Tariffs are borne by consumers, so by definition they will drive prices up. These two promises cannot be reconciled.
The best hope for people in these situations is that Trump doesn't actually do some of the bordering on draconian things that we're talking about. Much of this didn't happen last time...but he's surrounded himself with even less serious people that have even less sense of how to govern than last time (which is an amazing feat in and of itself). But that's where we are; we need a bunch of people with an elite combination of heartlessness and stupidity to come to their senses and look out for the people that voted for them (and those that did not).0 -
Pretty effective way to become the richest man in the world, which Putin is presumed to be.jerparker20 said:

“ In an interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes” just nine days before the election, Homan asserted that “families could be deported together” when asked about Trump’s promise to remove illegal immigrants from the country as soon as he takes office.
He also argued that the effort would be targeted, though exact plans for how it would be carried out and how much it would cost have yet to be determined.
…
So if any members of the family are citizens, and trump won by flipping a huge percentage of Latino voters, they are literally talking about deporting their own voters?0 -
I’m not a constitutional lawyer, but deporting US citizens could be a challenge.0

This is interesting. This piece of shit is the new LtGov of Indiana. Mike Braun did NOT endorse him as a running mate but IN elects its LtGov separately and this moron won.
So...the new LtGov of Indiana is insulting the largest university in the state. And is trotting out that stupid magat line "we aren't a democracy" lol.
What a fucking idiot. I wonder what Braun will think of this. Beckwith even states "We" will be happy to stop it for them...fucking douche

Also, it's telling when he calls Americans, that are seeking knowledge through higher education, "elite leftists". Given that he says, "this propaganda must stop", you know that he has a strong opposing stance on the (far-?)right. So, the right's brand is not that of knowledge seekers, clearly. Gotta make seeking knowledge look like a bad thing to your base. "Woke is bad. Stay stupid mmkay?". That's how the GOP base is constantly being duped in to voting against their own interests, to better help the true "elitists" get even wealthier.

He is such a fucking tool. This fuckhead tried to run for Victoria Spartz's seat a few years ago and got leveled in the primary. He then ran for the Fishers Library Board and caught all kinds of hell for trying to remove books. Then he runs for LtGov and wins by getting the evangelicals to all come out for him. You can imagine that getting people fired up to vote in the primaries would be kind of hard given that republicans generally always win. He got lucky and squeaked by.Remember the Thomas Nine !!
