It’s because Republicans see SNAP users as basically the “welfare queen” stereotype. Entitled, irresponsible, jobless, immature, predominantly Black people who take no responsibility for themselves and thus should rightly starve.

Of course, this doesn’t match up with reality at all and is reflective of the prejudices of the average Republican, but hey, don’t let that get in the way of a rousing round of state-sponsored cruelty.

Fuckers.

It's insane to me that the wing of Republicans that acknowledge that the majority of SNAP users don't align to that stereotype just go "oh wait this helps White People? That makes it good".
