This is just a totally brain dead take. Maybe the SNAP recipient likes brown mustard and prioritizes it. And you don’t care that much so you don’t prioritize it. If it mattered to you, you would budget to get fancy mustard.
If you really do feel you can’t afford fancy mustard, you shouldn’t be mad at the person who earns food assistance and then uses it to buy fancy mustard, you should be mad that you aren’t making enough to afford fancy mustard.
It’s also like $4 to get a bottle of Gray Poupon, absolutely ridiculous to be trying to whip people into a frenzy over that to begin with.
This is not the first time Republicans threw an absolute shit fit over negligibly more expensive mustard...
...while blowing hundreds or even thousands of dollars on red hats and overpriced campaign souvenirs.
Because in their minds, these people should be suffering more. Government food assistance should take the form of gruel, if it exists at all.
Edit: Oh I just realized what you were referencing lol
that is how conservatives do it, tan suit, hot dog, djoin mustard, sipping from a cup. they always trying to find some thing they can complain about, which is anything.
Well yeah, they're complaining about people who receive SNAP benefits, so that's a given.
According to Google, most SNAP recipients who can work, DO work.
A spokesperson for Google said that? Who even asked them?
Theres the rub. The working class and poor have been indoctrinated to believe that they are their own enemies, and the puppet masters that orchestrated all of this class warfare are the rich to keep us busy from chopping their heads off.
The poor aren’t our enemies. They are the frogs boiling in water that the rich use to determine what they can do to everyone else.
Yeah, it’s not like SNAP users get a discount on “fancy” mustard, they just get use their government-given food money to buy whatever kind of food they want instead of the government policing how they are allowed to use their food money.
Oh the government absolutely polices how they're allowed to use the money.
Okay, but apparently not when it comes to mustard.
