quote:

If Republicans succeed in their multi-front campaign to cut back on food stamps, the burden will fall heaviest on the working-class, rural white voters on whom President Trump has staked the future of their party.

House Republicans on Thursday passed legislation that would require Americans ages 18 through 59 to either work part time or enroll in 20 hours per week of workforce training to receive food stamps.

On the same day, the White House unveiled a proposal to consolidate the public safety net -- including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) -- under a revamped health department. The program, my colleagues Amy Goldstein and Caitlin Dewey write, “has an explicit aim of building standardized requirements that people must work or prepare for jobs to qualify for government help.”

On the surface, these efforts seem like they will affect Democratic voters the most. The highest rates of food-stamp assistance tend to be in the most Democratic areas. But that’s a superficial reading of the numbers.

Yes, the most Democratic-leaning fifth of counties tops the rankings in terms of reliance on food stamps -- there, 14 percent of all households got SNAP assistance, based on 2012-16 data. But the most Republican-leaning fifth runs a close second at 13.5 percent. All groups are adjusted for population so that they're not distorted by the large Republican advantage in thousands of low-population counties.

A deeper look at the numbers helps explain why. In the Trump era, the Republican Party has relied heavily on rural voters. And the most rural fifth of the population is also the most likely to live in a household that receives food stamps.

The distribution of food stamps isn't uniform across the urban-rural spectrum. It depends on the policies of the states that administer the program as well as the poverty of residents. But food-stamp use is particularly high in key Trump strongholds such as rural Appalachia, the Ozarks and much of the rural South.

The huge five-percentage-point gap between the Trumpiest and Romniest counties shows -- perhaps even more clearly than the contrasting politicians themselves -- that the party now leans heavily on the support of poor, working-class areas. And many people in those areas? They lean heavily on the support of the federal government.

Are there American families which aren't multi-generational? I guess technically yeah, but I think most people imagine some kind of parent-child relationship when they think of families.

with very few exceptions, most rural regions in the US at the moment would basically be drought stricken wild west towns with gravel main roads if not for massive federal subsidies in a hundred different ways

if all of this goes through, we'll probably see in the next year or two every rural hospital shuttering and waves of starvation as SNAP gets gated behind working a lovely job for just enough to put you outside of the upper limits for SNAP and child care subsidies

Cultural identification mostly.

Trump is just like me: a loud ignorant racist with problems respecting consent. A guy like me must intrinsically understand me and care about what I care about : protecting the bayou from the fat cat oil and gas CEOs. Because he gets me.

Same reason farmers who wanted a businessman president just like them who will govern in their businesses' interests because he's just like them voted for the guy promising ag-crippling trade wars with the rest of the world.

You're making my head hurt that anyone could identify with Trump outside of wanting to do terrible things to minorities. For Bush, it was "yeah, I could have a beer with this guy, he might say one or two sentences before he ran out of small talk and we would high five and chug" but for Trump it's like... "Lets go hang black people?????"
