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

It’s also generally where our government operates. Under Clinton we watched the social safety net get cut. Under Dubya it was cut further. When the poors tried to revolt Obama stood by and let the NYPD brutalize them and let the banks con and rob them. Biden and Trump I also got in on the fun of making life harder for the poors, by standing by and doing nothing as the cost of living has doubled and tripled while wages stayed stagnant. (And for added fun, Biden and Trump have done nothing while homelessness is increasingly criminalized.)
