Project 2025: “So you know the movie Mad Max?”
Don’t forget “Nobody knew health care would be this hard.”
This image is missing some amazing context.
Before Trump took office, Obama was facing an opposition Congress with a majority in the house and senate. They passed something like 80+ bills to fully repeal Obamacare which Obama of course vetoed. They lacked the majority to overturn the veto but did so anyway.
They did this all the leading up to Trump, with many Republican candidates promising that they would repeal Obamacare once the Republicans took over the government.
Guess what?
They did.
But guess how many full repeal bills got passed let alone introduced? A full fat zero.
Because everyone in the Republican party knew that it would absolutely kill chances at keeping the majority. They played political theatre for two years and then pussed out when Trump got into office.
TBF, Mexico paying for the wall was a 100% Trump thing.
Getting rid of Obamacare was a Republican strategy long before Trump entered the race in 2016.
Still waiting on infrastructure week.
In fairness, we did get that via the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
Still waiting on the “10% tax cut across the board for the middle class.”
Not explicitly this, but the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act came reasonably close. Honestly one of the crueler things Joe Biden did was to claw back a bunch of the credits and added enrollments to Medicaid that his party’s House and Senate majority fought for years earlier.
The Republican Healthcare plan will arrive the same week George R. R. Martin publishes Winds of Winter.
Which coincidentally will be the same week either party does anything to reign in the global attack on every conceivable front by the market capitalists on Earth and humanity.
