This is BS. Democrats have always shopped at Walmart.

Yes. It’s rare that I’m in a Wally World checkout line and don’t see someone paying with an EBT card.
Walmart is not unionized so the evil donkey lied to its foolish voters that Walmart is a terrible place to shop. The inmates looked over the plantation walls and saw the benefits of shopping at Walmart. Now the donkey is losing the anti-Walmart crowd. Ha ha ha ha more crumbling on their side.
I remember Walton’s store back in the 1950s. When he started Wal-Mart, he broke the economic stranglehold of the CHICKEN MEN who paid starvation wages well below minimum as they were “Agricultural”.
Poor people lived in run down shotgun shacks and tar paper shacks, and many houses did not have indoor plumbing. We had CULTURE SHOCK with the backwardness here when we were dragged as kids kicking and screaming from our home in the Rocky Mountains.
