Yes if you got out of your mom’s basement, you would see the evidence in airports. I’m currently traveling and there have been hiccups with ATC.

PP's point is likely that this shutdown will disproportionately impact Democrats. For instance, Democrats are much more likely to fly for leisure than Republicans, so they'll notice these hiccups first. Same with SNAP, Democrats will notice the pause in SNAP first, and uh, react (in)appropriately.

So why Democrats are using a shutdown for leverage, when their own people are disproportionately impacted raises a lot of questions.

Your assumptions about who uses SNAP are wrong.

Per capita discussion leaks into DCUM. Wonders never cease.

Oh no, not hiccups! Better spend infinity money then.

It boggles the mind that Democrats seem to think SNAP is a disproportionately Republican program. It brings a certain Voltaire quote to mind.

Let's see how the first shakes out, bet its going to be eye-opening for some people.

I guess you aren't familiar with the demographics of the US. Your dark green areas are reservations, the black belt, border counties and yes the Appalachians. Only one of those areas is MAGA country.

Where have you been? This is one of the biggest stories of Trump's reelection that low-income voters, and in particular, people who rely on federal assistance programs were more likely to vote for Tump.

The PP is clearly operating under the assumption that all Blacks are lazy and poor and all Whites are hardworking patriots. This simple-minded and low-IQ mental shortcut causes them to ignore the fact that the plurality of SNAP recipients are White, and, indeed, that there are 37% more White recipients of SNAP than Black recipients of SNAP.

Skin color is not a predetermining factor in who receives SNAP benefits you racist fool.

Look at those Democratic strongholds of Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, and West Virginia. Republican voters definitely won't be hurt by Republicans cutting SNAP, no sirree.

Almost 4 of every 5 U.S. counties that have seen an increase in the percentage of households receiving food stamps since 2010 are in places that voted for former President Donald Trump in 2020, according to a Political Explorer analysis.

Among the 3,131 U.S. counties analyzed, 2,021 reported an increase in households receiving benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), better known as food stamps. Only 1,107 counties reported a decline in the percentage of households that needed help putting food on the table.

because they exempt so many jobs as mission critical that the public doesn't really notice. Shut down airports and the US mail and the federal ports, the blue shirts at the airports (TSA) etc and people will notice.

Why make it worse than it needs to be? Just shows the public only values a small part. We should eliminate the rest and pay off the debt.

It's not a small part. The large majority of feds are still working without pay, and that's why the general public doesn't notice the shutdown. If ATCs and TSA, SS workers who pay SS benefits, CMS workers who pay Medicare, USPS who deliver the mail, DoD employees who maintain military equipment, etc. didn't show up, the public would notice real fast. The pay of the remainder is a drop in the bucket in comparison to the debt. I can't believe people still don't understand this after the DOGE fraud.
