Oh Really?

Isn't that cute, M apparently believes that opposition to food stamps has something to do with racial bias.

Mr. Imprudent, I love how you can just destroy Markadelphia with one sentence so many times.

Actually, what I enjoy are hubris filled declarations of my "destruction."

Obviously, juris, you missed the point of this post. The rural, white poor make a large part of the GOP base and they get food stamps. Cut those programs and you can say buh-bye to a large group of voters.

Because obviously it's the governments job to provide cash for votes......

And all people, of any political stripe will place that as the top consideration of who they vote for.....

Let's see, rural America is 16% of the population. What percentage of them are white? What percentage of white, rural Americans vote Republican? What percentage of white, rural Republicans are poverty-stricken?

How many of the white food-stamp recipients are urban? How many of them vote Democrat?

Markadelphia knows none of this, but is perfectly willing to jump to conclusions based on ... what? We don't know. Also, I love the way the graphic folds White/Hispanic/Latino together as one in the highly visible graph, while noting that in a footprint.

In other words, it's the usual standard of Markadelphia graphic. And he's already demonstrated that he doesn't really understand what it actually means, either. Par for the course, really.
