It looks like the cutoff of SNAP benefits (formerly food stamps) is going to proceed just like we predicted. TikTok is flooded with people openly admitting that they’re going to loot the grocery stores when SNAP benefits run out because of Chuck Schumer’s vanity shutdown. This is another hot mess that Joe Biden created, and which President Donald Trump now has to fix. The Democrats might finally get the riots that they’ve been dreaming of for the past nine months.
One of the first things that Biden did after the fake and stolen 2020 election was to inflate the food stamp program.
President Trump actually got more Americans off of SNAP benefits than any other president. George W. Bush blew up the economy in 2008, and Obama made it worse with the big bank bailouts, Cash for Clunkers, and other dumb programs starting in 2009. Between 2008 and 2015, the number of people on SNAP increased from 25 million to 46 million. The Bush financial meltdown and the Obama economy nearly doubled the number of people on food stamps.
When President Trump came into office in 2017, there were still around 43 million on SNAP. By 2019, Trump’s economic policies had reduced the number of SNAP recipients to just 35 million. That’s how blazing hot the Trump economy was before the idiotic COVID shutdowns.
After four years of Joe Biden’s economic wizardry, we’re back up to 42 million people on SNAP. It’s worse than that, however.
One of Biden’s first actions was to massively increase the dollar amount of food stamp benefits that people receive. When Trump left office, monthly SNAP benefits were $121 per person. In 2021, Biden increased that by 55%, to $187.20 per person. The program cost hardworking taxpayers $100 billion in 2024.
One bright spot in this is that millions of Americans are waking up to just how much this fraudulent program (SNAP) increases the price of groceries for everyone. When the government subsidizes groceries to the tune of $100 billion a year, it drives up the cost of everything. As Joe Biden added seven million people to SNAP in 2021 and 2022, it tracked exactly with the inflation at the grocery store.
This jabs the American taxpayer twice—once when the government steals from your paycheck to fund the SNAP program, and again when you pay for groceries. Your standard of living is reduced, so that welfare queens can buy donuts and soda.
When you dig into the nuts and bolts of the SNAP program, you’ll find that the welfare queens spend more money on non-essentials than regular Americans do. Regular Americans have had to cut back on things like sugary snacks, soda, and the better cuts of meat. SNAP recipients are eating better than middle class Americans these days.
There’s so much fraud in the SNAP program that many are now calling for major reforms to it. And it should be reformed! Why are we paying the poor to become obese and require more Medicaid services? People should only be allowed to buy staples with SNAP benefits. Potatoes, rice, fresh produce, a gallon of milk, and so on. Instead, SNAP recipients are spending our tax dollars to buy single espresso shots for their Keurig and spareribs, not to mention Doritos and junk food.
Someone launched an EBTs of TikTok channel on X this week, and it’s already starting to go viral. It’s similar to Libs of TikTok, but posts food stamp recipients talking about all the looting and rioting that they’re planning for next week, when SNAP benefits will run out because of Chuck Schumer’s shutdown.
Rapper Cardi B, who endorsed Kamala Harris last year, says that people will have to “hunt raccoons n sh*t” for their Thanksgiving meal this year. Which is hilarious, unless you’re a raccoon.
Here’s just one example of the thousands of welfare queens posting threatening videos on social media over this:

Some are openly talking about robbing people in the store parking lots at gunpoint and stealing their carts of groceries. If you live in a community where there were BLM riots in 2020, this could very well happen there. It’s about to get super interesting, because neither side is willing to budge on Schumer shutdown.
