According to USDA 37% of SNAP receipts are white and tend to be in red states so one could make an assumption or two. Of course hard to say for sure without voter data, so impossible to prove any of my incoherent ramblings. Take with grain of salt
White Americans are a larger share of the population, so the math has to reflect that. Context matters. And if we’re discussing support for low-income Americans, include all major programs: SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, housing assistance....not just selective data points.
This isn’t about Trumpty dumpty. It’s about getting the numbers right.
Well then get the numbers right, lol. To begin with, there is no possible way that you truly believe that anywhere near 55% of this country is MAGA or maga supporters... especially after the way Trump is handling.... everything. MAGA is just the whiniest and loudest right now. Yes, you do have the diehard people who overdose on copium saying "this is what I voted for!" but at this point, that component of it has to just be people who like that he made it okay to be wildly racist, and a pedophile.
Also, an unknown number of them are completely fabricated via internet bots and propped up by Elon Musk via a wildly fictional election and voter numbers. MAGA is not real in any way. It's almost all an illusion...smoke and mirrors type shit.
You’re stacking speculation on emotion. In 2024, Trump pulled nearly 50% of the actual popular vote, over 77 million real ballots. That’s nowhere near 55% of the country, but it’s also not bots or an illusion.
Trump sucks, sure, but emotional blowhards like you keep costing us Dems elections with this extremism. Pretending real voters don’t exist isn’t strategy, it’s self-sabotage.
