Again I must state that republicans, who gave big fat tax cuts to the rich under trump, generally do not support any programs that benefit working people in general and poor people specifically. One would think that their "base", consisting mostly of the working poor would actually understand that, but as long as the repubs give them something (now mask mandates) or someone, usually a liberal, to hate, they are easily diverted from their own actual plight.
Of course I meant Trump's base, but I'm not convinced there is much of any traditional republican base of poor people left.
