My sense is Trump will try to make Snap benefits permanently end during the shutdown,” she said. “I’m dumbfounded by the cruelty.”

There does seem to be a sentiment of wanting food stamps gone, because that’s a program abused by non whites and immigrants, but SNAP must remain because they depend on it. Then being shocked it’s the same thing and it’s all gone now. Same with Obamacare and ACA.

These respondents were self-selected Guardian readers. Doubt many voted for Trump.
Yeah that’s what kept coming to mind: All these people are The Guardian readers so they probably already dislike Trump and likely blame him for this loss of benefits.
I would have liked to see The Guardian interview actual Trump voters to see what they feel about things.
Or for fox to interview trump voters in low income brackets.
