The next year or two is just going to be an orgy of face-eating leopards eating faces.
My dad is one of those people who claims he’s not a conservative or Republican, maybe he’s a libertarian, IDGAF really because he always votes for Republicans. His wife is disabled, and I really worry about her because they are going to need those Medicare dollars.
Your dad reminds me of my wife’s uncle. He has a disabled wife and is absolutely DROWNING. Apparently, this is all immigrants’ fault and Trump will solve his problems.
He’s also a raging alcoholic, and seems to be terrorizing his wife. His adult son hangs around, I think fearing what would happen to her if he left.
That subreddit was one of the few things I miss from the Trump days.
Looking forward to the quality leopardsatamyface posts the next four years
Already happening. In this region a LOT of manufacturing workers voted for him. Now most of them are looking at significant reductions in compensation because their companies are all rebudgeting to prepare for the tariff proposals the GOP has written. Now they are all mad, though I wonder how many understand that they need to be blaming who they voted for, rather than immigrants, communists, and queer people.
This is the goal. Remove health insurance. Only healthy manual laborers are wanted because those are the ones who can work for their masters. If they aren’t working, they don’t deserve to live. If they get sick or are unwell, they can’t work and thus are of no value. They only live by the grace of the masters after all.
That’s why you need to earn a living, because you don’t deserve to exist unless you sell your labour.
That’s right. It’s the natural order of things that the many live in service to the few. They were born superior after all and deserve our service. We should fight and die for them too whenever they wish to use us to acquire more resources. We should worship those that sacrifice for our masters and encourage them with extra resources so they can breed more children to fight for our masters.
Once they kill the provision that protects people with pre-existing conditions I’m dropping my health insurance completely. I refuse to pay them through my lost potential income for a “service” that they will just deny as soon as possible. Medical insurance companies can go fuck themselves.
As someone with cancer, dear god I wish that was realistically an option for me.
I’m probably realistically just gonna die soon, even though my medication probably would have let me live relatively comfortably the rest of my life.
Even the generics of my meds are about $5k a month without insurance.
I also won’t be able to afford regular blood tests or, you know, being able to see the cancer doctor.
I wish I had something more comforting to say, but all I’m left with is rage towards the people that put you in this situation. So many people have so much more unnecessary anxiety now just so already disgustingly wealthy people can be more disgustingly wealthy.
I wish all the calls for guillotines weren’t just empty words. :(
I hope everyone who voted for him gets to be a part of this.
Good news, statistically a lot of them will. Republicans tend to skew older (and dumber but that’s irrelevant in this case), so when he axes Medicare it’s going to impact his supporters hardest.
Unfortunately if history is anything to go by they’ll still find some way to blame their suffering on anyone but Trump and the Republicans.
Yeah I’m nervous about healthcare for my family and I. I need it, full stop. I’m not workable.
My father has had it for so long he thinks he’s invincible and he voted for Trump. He keeps telling me Trump is great for his 401k. The guy hasn’t had a 401k in decades. It’s ridiculous.
Yup. I have to take twelve medications daily to keep me from dying. Retail price for all of them would be about $15k a month. Once that goes away, I go away. Now I have to face the idea of sitting down with my wife and planning what she’ll do when I die.
No one in this day and age should have to do that. I’m 42…
My sincerest condolences on your whole situation. Please try to find any/all right-fighters in your region and don’t go it alone. Tough times are ahead.
He keeps telling me Trump is great for his 401k. The guy hasn’t had a 401k in decades.
This is some next level mental gymnastics right here. Please make this make sense. My head hurts.
