Dems Take Away Free Food From the Snapanese at Great Political Risk
The American Spectator ^ | October 30, 2025, 10:04 PM | Daniel J. Flynn

The Snapanese, a normally reliable Democratic constituency that depends on what the vernacular refers to as food stamps, may ‘Pearl Harbor’ progressives after their month-long recalcitrance on re-opening the government.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides an average of more than $350 per recipient household a month. The welfare program pays for milk, eggs, apples, and other groceries at the supermarket, which frees up funds, for those so inclined, for scratch tickets, neck tattoos, and meth pipes. (RELATED: The Spectacle Ep. 292: SNAP, Riots, and the Price of Dependency)

In the United States, the Snapanese outnumber Asians, LGBTQers, and Californians to make for a powerful interest group. If SNAP were a country, its population would exceed Canada, Saudi Arabia, and Ukraine. Forty-two million Americans, 12 percent of the U.S. population, receive SNAP benefits.

But when Halloween runs out of time, the SNAP benefits run out, too.

“Let me be clear,” a gesticulating Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) said on CNN earlier this week. “The administration is choosing to starve American children with money that they already have appropriated.”

In truth, as CNN host Jake Tapper informed Stansbury, Senate Democrats have repeatedly voted against reopening the government. On Tuesday, for instance, Senate Democrats voted for the 13th time to keep the federal government, or at least the “nonessential” parts of it, shuttered.

Democrats choose the failed hallmark program of their favorite president and free care for illegals over food for the hungry.

When Tapper attempted to mention this inconvenient truth to Stansbury, she spoke over the host’s words. Democrats do not want the public to know that they keep voting to keep the government closed. Their priority is not “starving children...”

Do the Snapanese live in the land of the thieving son?

And one more time.

This is not about winning the next 2026 general election.

Their extremists are batshit crazy. They have sworn to, and WILL, primary challenge anyone who bends the knee to Trump.

That’s it. There’s nothing more to this. These people CAN’T vote for the CR. They CAN’T if they want to keep their seat. It’s not about the seat going to the GOP. It’s them losing their seat to some Dem primary challenger.

There is no fix for this.

I don’t get it either. It’s rather ungrammatical. I took it to be a variation of “Don’t let a good crisis go to waste.”
Constituencies that opposed FDR’s New Deal nonetheless supported him during World War II.
