They lecturer me on how trump is going stop the waste and fraud in funding social programs. That too many "undeserving " are getting. Than they pull out their ebt cards to purchase their groceries.

I don't care how they pay,. because I don't know their circumstances. But I do care that they think that others who had to qualify the same as they did are somehow undeserving.

Facts mean nothing to them. They have made up their minds and don't want to be confused with common sense. If someone takes the time to argue about their views they will pat themselves on the back for being smarter and more clever. Just smile, nod your head, and think of the day that reality will bite them in the ass and they will have no idea what happened or why. They will still be clueless but will bring a smile to your face when they fall.
