This MAGA Son Is Furious That His Mom Can't Afford Thanksgiving Without SNAP, And The Reactions Are Brutal The internet had little sympathy for this MAGA voter who wants his mom's SNAP benefits back in time for Thanksgiving. Hot Topic 🔥 Full coverage and conversation on Politics We're on day 40 of the government shutdown, and though the Senate recently passed a deal aimed at ending the US's longest shutdown streak in history, we're not there yet. Meanwhile, Americans are caught in the crossfire, as President Donald Trump promised on Truth Social that the nearly 40 million residents who rely on SNAP will not receive food assistance until the government re-opens. It's important to note that, as HuffPost reported, "The US Department of Agriculture has a special fund to help supplement the program in an emergency, [but] the agency said... it won’t use it during the shutdown." Considering the program helps feed Americans across the political spectrum, it's no surprise that MAGA and conservative voters are also feeling the weight of losing their benefits ahead of Thanksgiving.
