It's just human nature, "desperate times call for desperate measures."

When people are on SNAP for a while, they become accustomed to it, like any other routine. There may be SOME people who have a fall-back "contingency" plan, but a lot of them are living month-to-month. Yank the rug out from under them and everybody's going to have a different response. Not every response will be rational and pro-active. But Republicans don't care, because they have been VEHEMENTLY OPPOSED to poor people receiving food assistance and healthcare for DECADES, and this was their moment to strike. So, they did. They're happy Musk and Bezos and Thiel and Zuckerberg got their tax cuts, and don't really care about what they did to make it happen.
