. . . to be replaced by bloodsucking leeches no doubt
Are ya’ll ready for how fucked we are? None of this shit is getting fixed, considering we’re still living with Reagan’s damages.
What till you see the Liberty Law School zealots who find their way to SCOTUS for lifetime appointments
Maybe I’m naïve, but I’m hoping their overreach is so bad that the pendulum aggressively swings back in the other direction.
Eventually. It will. How long? That’s impossible to say. As is how bad it will get before a correction occurs. Hitler was in power for twelve years. 70-85 million people died during his reign between slaughters and fighting. And Germany was not the strongest nation in the world (and definitely not the strongest by a wide margin) at that time. Imagine Germany starting off 1933 with the military might to fight two wars at once with the two strongest nations on the planet. And imagine their border was basically impenetrable by any combined force of countries while they fought those two wars. That could easily be where we’re going to be at. No one is coming to save us.
Tariffs alone will probably lead to a very bleak outlook for Republicans in the midterm elections.
Maybe the opposite. Biden’s policies turned the economy around. All the numbers look good and were poised for growth that Trump will take credit for
How quickly and widely will he actually apply tariffs? If they don’t take widespread effect for two years, they’re home free
That’s kind of why I don’t think the RFK stuff is actually going to happen. Trump can sell the economic populism stuff but he lost in 2020 because of anger over public health. Letting RFK be crazy is just going to cause headaches.
Trump will just take no responsibility. He’ll blame RFK Jr for all the things that go wrong. Maybe he’ll eventually get fired but at that point the damage will already be done. Trump will just say “Ah, he screwed me, I would have done the exact same thing but it would have worked, I’m a smart guy, I’ll fix it or appoint someone else to fix it.” And then it won’t be fixed.
So if RFK Jr. is smart he’ll just do a little bit of damage over time. Alternatively if there is a ton of chaos on day 1, then just add to the chaos. People can only be angry at so many things at one time.
That’d be nice and I’m sure sentiment will swing but I don’t think they’d go through all this trouble of remaking the government (and essentially the whole country) just to get “voted out” and have to spend billions more regaining power. It’ll be way cheaper just to rig things.
I think you underestimate the rippling damage that four years of Trump loyalists running the HHS, FDA, CDC, EPA, DoE, CIA, FBI, etc. can do to the world.
That’s on top of the damage from rapidly repealing regulations by the President.
Even if we replace the whole government with progressives, it’ll take decades to fix, assuming we survive that long.
Well, we’re boned.
You’re just NOW realising this? Most of us came to that conclusion right around 1am on election night, when we realized that Harris had no path to victory without PA…and then lost PA.
Now to be fair, SOME people took a little longer to realise this…and by that I mean they’d already went to sleep and realised hours later when they woke up.
So will insurance companies stop covering vaccines after the federal government no longer supports/requires them? I guess state education departments could still require them…right?

I’m betting insurance companies will still cover vaccines. If they didn’t covered individuals will still get sick and consume even more costly medical, hospital, and surgical services. Getting customer to get vaccines are good business for insurance companies.

So is covering preventative care like physical therapy after an injury so you can heal correctly and not require further treatments but my insurance gives diddly for PT. They should cover gym memberships and aerobic classes too. If they can deny coverage for smoking them I should get extra benefits if I exercise and eat properly.
We just don’t know what is gonna happen next year when the shit hits the country.
Unless regulation is so loose they basically don’t have to pay a damn thing even when you get sick.

If it gets that bad, then people will simply drop insurance.
The kennedy clan are known to be very protective of their reputation, hence being so reluctant to speak out about the insane russian asset in the family.
I’m going to enjoy watching their family name associated with the largest rise in preventable deaths in american history. At least until I contract polio.
