Funny how you had all these interviews with older MAGAs talking about their benefits and not getting enough and expecting Trump to help themā¦
Wonder how theyāll explain that.
Are they trying to start a war? Cutting benefits will make people desperate, and desperate people do desperate things.
cutting benefits is what the people voted for. thats why trump was elected
āi thought he was just gonna cut their benefits, not mine!ā
(where ātheirā represents any one of a dozen demographic groups where the whiner and diaper share a hatred of)
āHe promised not to touch social security, and reduce pricesā
To āI donāt want to talk about politics anymore!ā
Waiting for them to start talking about āentitlementsā.
Do I feel entitled? Well, Iāve been paying into the system since 1987, shit yeah I feel entitled.
This is one of the last major things on their list of changes that they havenāt forced through the system yet.
I hope it hurts the right people. I donāt use any of that stuff and the people I know who do all vote consistently right.
Two years until there is any chance of shifting the balance. I hope these wake up but I have serious doubts that will happen. I am very confident the right wing media will convince them itās the leftās fault.
I donāt know how theyāll do it but theyāve honed the propaganda skills necessary to make it happen.
Seeing stuff like this hurts to read. Sure a large majority who get hurt will probably be āthose peopleā Sure itās great it doesnāt affect you personally. It all just sounds incredibly callous and privileged to dismiss the suffering of others.
My fiancee and her mother have been spending every minute of visiting hours at the hospital. My fianceeās father has been teetering on the verge of death. Their benefits and insurance are on the cutting block. Upon hearing about this news he mother came to us crying because she doesnāt know what they will do without it.
These are retired veterans who put in their time and have always voted left and for progressive policies. They are also some of the most caring and supportive people Iāve ever met. My fiancee often jokes that her mom loves me more than my own mother.
I donāt have any good solution, but it feels like it would be better not to wish for harm to befall people because it doesnāt impact you or any good people you know.
Did they vote for Trump? Because if so, womp womp. Donāt fucking care.
Otherwise, I wish them the best!
We will write down those fuckers names, to put on the naughty list.
