Republican when addressing the general public: SNAP recipients are fat lazy freeloaders who spend thousands of dollars of SNAP benefits on soda and chips.
Republicans when addressing SNAP recipients: "Mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us"
It has always been the habit of rightists to co-opt leftist terminology in furtherance of their evil deceptions and propaganda. This is why George Orwell called the fascist party in “1984” IngSoc, which stood ironically for “English Socialism.”
It has nothing to do with principles or being 'right'. It has everything to do with being 'right, now'.
It's just a hammer to either hurt people (the GOP way) or to make the democrats look bad for it hurting people (also the GOP way).
Republicans are liars and can never be trusts.
