Any references for this?

And $300 million for a new ballroom, $230 million to compensate him for the FBI investigating his extensive criminal activities, etc...

State isn't the right word to describe the USA. States have borders and believe in national sovereignty.

America is now just a criminal syndicate with a military.

also some posts on reddit, some magats are quite gleeful over the cuts.

They also know what to get, in terms of what is most useful.

Work with a food bank and this is spot on, except they do get food donations that make sense from farmers and food service companies. But people buying food at the grocery store will do worse than the food bank can do with their connections, experience, and volume.

Literally the actual thing that lit off the French Revolution. It wasn't just the taxes. It wasn't the bad labor practices. It wasn't the decadence of the rich. It was women marching to the palace because so many couldn't afford bread.

exactly this….
food riots/ looting -> martial law -> dictatorship

Oh the trump administration is 100% hoping people revolt - they're already discussing invoking the insurrection act

he would need the miltiary on his side, but it doesnt seem like they are too keen to do this, considered they are also furloughed. that 130mil isnt even going to the troops too.

What if they have?

And fail to realize they are also in the crosshairs.

i dont think magats have been hurt, they are afraid of the same reprisal, they used to oppress minorities, also facing the music, that thier voting pattern has consequences.

have they tried not being poor? or get an MBA and become a ceo?

Well duh, obviously if it wasn't for all the illegal Mexican gang members taking all the food stamps there would have been plenty of money to help the people that deserved it, like them.

I still wonder if they are banking on making 2025 just such a miserable year that it's comparitively easy to make 2026 feel good.

Turn SNAP back on, dial back the tariffs. People feel a remarkable improvement in food security and prices. Might still be in worse shape than end of 2024, but people will tend to remember change in experience rather than their experience in absolute terms.

The narrative will inevitably be that somehow the GOP figured out how to overcome those pesky democrats and restore the things that the democrats broke.

If things remained persistently broken, then the narrative couldn't really overcome people's actual experience. They strongly branded and made it clear that this was the Trump show, he's got the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. When it comes to 'right now', it's hard to ignore that reality. But once they make it 'last year's problem', then mental gymnastics can resume to blame the democrats.

Hell they could resolve this crisis by ultimately letting the democrats have what they are asking for and the voters would still credit the GOP with restoring the benefits that the democrats are demanding. They've already set the stage by saying democrats want to give all the money to illegal immigrants (which they explicitly don't) and so there will be some BS to claim they 'compromised' by getting the democrats to give up illegal immigrant eligibility (they aren't eligible and were never asked to be) and then take credit for the 'good' version of the outcome.

All the bad things they still blame on Biden, even when Trump was president. Overall it still hurts non-whites a tiny bit more, so they're ok with it.

Damn it, I knew it was time to go to the gun store but I was putting it off.

Oh god, turkey prices are going to be nuts.

In what religion would a man like Trump go to a place of eternal bliss after death?

Be careful, a conservative might hear you and take it literally.

So, my first question is why hasn’t it been an issue before?

The USDA maintains an emergency fund for situations like this. This time they're saying they can't use it, and it's gone to the courts.

lol gofundme. mabye realize its time to leave, or that it was time to leave decades ago when you were old enough to learn about the 2nd amendment.

Guess he'll just have to suffer with his second choice of overcooked steak slathered in ketchup.

Tbh, if you can't afford food idk how your supposed to afford getting a gun. How does gun taste? Heh heh

the election was hacked and stolen, they didn’t vote for this

ikr? Can we start labeling this as a Republican choice, not just Trump?

This is a Republican administration operating with support from a Republican-controlled Senate and House and by Republican judges and other appointees.

Project 2025 isn't Trump's plan, it's a Republican plan. Let's start talking about the party that's doing this to America so they can't just claim it was "all Trump" and be believed when it all comes tumbling down around them.
