And women, Latinx, immigrants, welfare-dependent people, the chronically ill... the list goes on and on. I don't know why these people like shooting themselves in the foot so much. Even if they had some vendetta against a group of people because they've been brainwashed to believe "XYZ is abusing our system," if they themselves need such services and could die without them, why vote against their own needs like healthcare and protection? But then again, some people didn't even know that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was going to significantly affect Medicaid and SNAP benefits, so the bar of intelligence really is in hell.
