Summary
A new poll found that 71% of Trump voters oppose Medicaid cuts, while 82% of all voters reject them. Additionally, 60% of Trump voters said cutting food and nutrition programs is unacceptable.
Medicaid has become a key issue as House Republicans push for up to $2 trillion in budget cuts to advance Trump’s legislative agenda.
Their resolution directs the House Energy and Commerce Committee to find at least $880 billion in cuts.
This raises concerns that Medicaid, which covers 70 million people—mostly low-income and children—could be targeted despite GOP leaders downplaying benefit reductions.
Point to where the choice is? Where in the chain of their disinformation filled lives are they given the chance to choose? They’re villains and victims.
They could have noticed his constant lying during his first term.
They could notice that all the shit they say on the conservative propaganda that they are able to directly observe is false. They don’t even need to know it is all bullshit, there are so many examples of Trump and conservatives saying something and then actively doing the opposite.
Even rural dipshits have opportunities to question the propaganda. Yes, people regularly fall for propaganda, but that doesn’t give them a free pass when it requires them to ignore reality to fall for it.
These are all things that rely on a level of awareness and introspection that these people do not have and that’s 100% by design. Very few of them can ever break free from the programming they’ve endured for they entirety of their lives and the few that do are forever broken trying to deal with the cognitive dissonance of everyday life.
You can’t judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree.
People aren’t fish and I’m going to judge the shit out of people who can’t make basic logical connections like ‘immigrants, minorities, and women are also people’ and ‘maybe I shouldn’t vote for the people who have repeatedly demonstrated they are lying liars’.
