This will begin to test the cynical notion that as long as black and brown people suffer more than poor whites, the MAGAts will remain happy.

They have scapegoated poor black and brown mothers as welfare cheats since Raygun. They think that those will be the only targets. Just wait until they start kicking old people off Medicaid, and grampa billy can't stay in the nursing home anymore.

The Uber rich have done a great job of getting poor purposefully undereducated whites to fight a race war instead of a class war. Because it is definitely the top five percent of wealthy that are the real welfare cheats. Corporate welfare the one side and no personal taxes on the other.
