I agree that most don't vote Republican. One of my sister is a welfare slave and always votes Republican. She is likely the exception but whatever.
Not to say I don't support the shutdown because I have a family member who would be effected. She needs to get a full time job. No excuses.

The Republican ones are usually on disability and or social security

I collected food stamps for an 8 month period in my early 20s and was such a wreck of a person that the state of the nation mattered nothing to me. Knowing people who collect welfare in my life so far they dont vote.

I think the ones who are on gov assistance, who would vote Republican, dont care if it gets cut off. As for the other ones, fuck 'em the free ride is over

Agree. 90% of such people hate Trump, and would never vote Republican, irregardless of whether the shutdown ends today or years away. These were mostly Democrat (now newly minted socialist, and eventually commies), with an intergenerational addiction to public assistance. Their greatgrandmothers, grandmothers, mothers, and now them use AFDC & Food Stamps to finance their breeding program....in much the same way middle to upperclass bitches use divorce, alimony & child support to finance theirs.

Youre probably right but it's not just going to affect those receiving benefits directly.
That is real money they feed into the private economy and we've got about 2 weeks before daycares stop receiving childcare reimbursement vouchers and cant pay employees, from local hospitals & doctors offices not getting reimbursed for medicaid/medicare patients, landlords not getting paid from tenants using housing vouchers and in-home support services for home-bound elderly & disabled people will stop.
Additional, any business requiring federal licencing to operate isn't getting it right now and people planning on a USDA or HUD program to help buy a house can forget it.

What did people do before all those programs existed?

Good question but that's a bit beyond my point.
OP's questions suggests that Republicans shouldn't worry about welfare recipients getting their bennies since they probably don't vote republican anyway. What I'm saying is that the people that actually end up with that money (landlords, doctors, private employees, etc.) could easily be republican voters and they're going to feel the pinch right along side the actual welfare recipients...maybe more so since, unlike welfare recipients, they have actual, real financial obligations to things like employees, banks, utility companies, etc.
Maybe they won't blame the republicans..or maybe some of them will. But the idea that this shut down will only affect welfare recipients & federal workers is a false narrative. In a couple weeks it's going to cause a significant ripple affect right through the economy that will last well beyond the actual end of the shut down.
