Most of the people who voted for Trump are on gov't assistance of one kind or another - Medicare, VA benefits, Soc Security, SSI Disability, etc. Those social safety nets will be the first to go, and they'll feel it--hopefully. It sucks because we need safety nets desperately, particularly the VA, Soc Security, Medicare, ACA, and food stamps. Americans don't realize what is was like before those programs. Rural poor and old starved to death. We don't have enough food banks to rescue all the folks who are currently getting assistance. The first thing they'll dismantle is help for the poor.
