The Venn Diagram of SNAP recipients and firearm owners is not an insignificant overlap. This won't end well as people get go hungry and children cry themselves to sleep from hunger.
Yep, ~~most~~just under half of welfare recievers are republican, and are more likely to own guns. That sounds great, maybe the republicans will actually do something useful for once.
1 month later:
Chaos insues as an armed militia calling themselves "Snap for whites" has raided the democratic convention, killing 3 and injuring another 4. The local police were called in to assist, but were impeded by the fact that they have been trained to only shoot colored targets.
Edit: evidently more democrats recieve welfare, as far as i can tell both proportionally and as an absolute value.
your uncle tom bootlicking for the masters does not help quit blaming your fellow citizens in all this when it is both parties and the owner class paying them that is at fault

and both parties are very propolice
Oh wow, it does appear that more democrats recieve foodstamps than republicans. I appreciate that bit of info. As for the rest of your comment, im not sure how to even go about breaking down that.
If republicans dont want to get blamed for being pieces of shit, they shouldnt be pieces of shit, simple as.
Had to go back and reread my own comment, ive been posting a lot tonight. And more of those posts were shitting on democrats than republicans. Reason being simple, republicans are shit but democrats are SUPPOSED to be good. Shitting on republicans is easy, but it feels like bullying a disabled kid because everyone including the republicans know that they are a joke. So I'd much rather punch up at the people who claim to trying to help while ensuring the ratchet effect remains in full swing.
So what in the hell are you even trying to argue against? The only point i made is that you cant rely on republicans to do anything good, even by accident. If youre arguing for the republicans then thats really fucking gross, especially for someone projecting "bootlicker" onto people.
I wonder how many of each party live in more left and less left locations? Obviously I am using "left" in the broadest of terms.
Unfortunately the billionaires and corporations won't be on the receiving end, it will be everyday people and small business owners.
