"On Nov. 1, over 40 million Americans who rely on SNAP food assistance to feed their families found themselves without, as President Donald Trump promised on Truth Social that SNAP will not be fully funded until the government reopens (and even this appears to have caveats). Obviously, the program does not discriminate based on party lines, so plenty of Trump supporters were among those impacted."
""I voted for Trump, but I don't think he gets how many people this is affecting. My wife, my ex wife, my friends, there friends, there families, there Grandparents, there Grandparents friends and families. Come on Trump, snap back into shape and get us our snap." "Government assistance isn't there because it's a 'well maybe they can do without it until we figure things out' come on!!!!!! Your there because the people put you there.""
"The above post is far from being the only one. In a now-viral rant with over 40,000 upvotes on Reddit, another Trumper complained about his mother's inability to pay for Thanksgiving dinner. "Well since SNAP benefits are going to be paused, that effects my mom's ability to get Thanksgiving items for Thanksgiving dinner," a MAGA son wrote. "Does anyone know where we could get a turkey..?""
On Nov. 1, SNAP food assistance for over 40 million Americans was paused amid funding disputes, with a presidential promise tying full funding to reopening the government. The pause affected people across political lines, including many Trump supporters who rely on SNAP. Numerous MAGA voters posted online expressing frustration, describing family members and communities struggling to access food assistance. Viral posts included personal pleas about Thanksgiving and accusations that elected officials are neglecting constituents who need help. Some posts warned of collective action if assistance is not restored, emphasizing the widespread human impact of the pause.
