    Of course. Those cuts are, largely, going to fall on welfare and welfare recipients, because they’re not cutting entitlements and they’re not cutting the military.

    It’s the impoverished southern states that utilize welfare the most. (And they never thank California or New York.)

      And in those southern states, those that use those welfare services are most at risk and also have their vote suppressed the most. Hourly workers that rely on WIC, Headstart and medicaid can’t take a day off work to be sick let alone vote. And most economically suppressed districts have 4-6 hour wait times.

      It’s harder than ever for working Americans to vote and it’s the worst it’s ever been last election. These people couldn’t even vote against their interests if they wanted to.

        I ldid not vote because I did not have physically have time to vote.

        In the South, they limit the number of polling places in urban areas. You won’t need to wait if you live in fucking Anadarko, but the city centers are going to be 4+ hour waits.

          I’m not going to assume your needs. But if you know someone in need there’s a list of mutual aid groups by region. If you know of a resource in your area not on there, reps from that org can sign up for free.
