    And there it is. In my own state I keep hearing how medicaid cuts will get people to see the light, no it fucking won’t. These people are so deep in the cult they won’t get out no matter how much they’re fucked.

    Recognizing an error publicly or even out loud to those you are close with is something that takes courage and dignity.

    Yeah, for a trump voter, that’s a tough hill to climb and probably outside most of their lifespans.

      Honestly, this says more about the propaganda they’re ingesting. Their primary media sources are telling them that anything bad is because of the other team, not the people in power.

        Very true. I was just hoping -naively- about a future point of self awareness or lucidity in my compatriots that may never occur.

    This is the toughest part for me. It’s HIS “big beautiful bill,” all their reps and senators voted for it, hyped it up, hammed it up with smiles and limp-dicked handshakes. And when they find out what’s in it, they invariably refuse to acknowledge the bare objective reality. It is MADDENING that it seems impossible to get these people’s heads out of their asses.

    in that case you deserve it. there i said it. fresh out of sympathy for unrelenting weaponized idiocy. just die in the hospital parking lot like you clearly want to. maybe in doing so you’ll help raise the standards of the electorate.

    It was the DEMOCRATS fault that Trump and the Republicans controlling LITERALLY EVERYTHING passed this Bill! The ONLY way to Ensure it DOESNT happen Again is to VOTE BACK IN the People who Voted FOR it!

      It was the DEMOCRATS fault that Trump (…) passed this Bill!

      No no no, the Bill is Big and Beutiful and it’s Good that Trump passed it! But it’s the DEMOCRATS fault that everything in it turned to shit, and specifically against devoted Republicans!

      [Granted, that’s the “politcally literate MAGA” version]
