Because the notion that the Dems are the "party of entitlement" is a lie? All those people who voted for Trump because they refuse to retrain themselves or go back to school and just want their old jobs back are some of the most entitled fucks around.

At least they want to work, unlike all the people who voted for Obama and Clinton because they would maintain increased food stamp allotments and make it easy to get on and stay on Social Security disability.
You do realize that a heck of a lot of people on food stamps are working, don't you?  Forty percent of all people on SNAP are either working or living with someone who is working (usually that person is a child).*  And they work the hardest jobs in the country, cleaning houses, washing dishes, painting houses, stocking shelves at Walmart, caring for people with Alzheimers at nursing homes.

And those were Trump's core supporters, so they weren't part of "people who voted for Obama and Clinton because they would maintain increased food stamp allotments ...".
