    Yeah. I am deeply terrified of what happens next week (let alone as we get closer to thanksgiving travel and the like) when SNAP et al shut down. People are going to be hungry and people are already VERY armed. And the most impulsively violent crowd tends to be the ones who actually believe “its the democrats behind the shutdown” and… yeah.

      It’s obvious but I didn’t even consider the starving poor MAGA folks will think they aren’t being fed because of Democrats, and then go after them. Ya know because they are generally more violent and deeply angry in their cores.

        But of course, they’ll be reported in the news as “violent ‘anteefa’ extremists”, despite their beat-up lifted truck sporting “Trump 2028” bumper stickers and confederate flags.
