Did the billionaires leave the country...

It might be smart if they did. Rural white gun owners are the largest recipients of these programs, and if the spigot is turned off....yikes!

Remote island estates, European chateaus, New Zealand retreats, or Mega-Yachts.
They honestly believe the pain and suffering inflicted on those beneath them will never really affect them.

They only exist in your mind until you name them or give context. It does not apply to all of tRump's EOs and only some of the "these programs" are affected for the moment by the EOs. Nor do all of "these programs" affect rural white gun owners. Likewise, not everything of interest to white rural gun owners ("these programs" ) is affected.

Or is it a non-specific rant that is just venting? Then perhaps the Lounge would be best.

Sorry, I was not present for mind-reading class.

As the largest use of SNAP, Medicare, and TANIF, and ACA.

Rural white gun owners own most of the guns in our country.

Cut their programs or services and what the blood pressure rise in real time.

Maybe, you have no been paying attention to the correlation of inequality and scapegoating of Mexicans. IF trump cuts/stops these programs his followers know it's republican policies! Not Mexicans, Obama, Biden or democrats...that have zero power to stop them.
