At this point, I think we can just lump all these headlines into: “Millions at risk following trump victory.”
A lot of Trump supporters will lose coverage and I’m OK with that.
surely you mean “millions of people who aren’t me”?
I can’t wait to see the teumpers argue, “They are repealing Obama care, not the ACA. The ACA is great and works well. I use it personally. Obamacare is such a mess.”
I’m not at risk of losing health insurance, because you can’t lose what you don’t have!
I’d laugh, but my teeth hurt.
And most of them voted for him.
The next year or two is just going to be an orgy of face-eating leopards eating faces.
I am going to laugh after all the water holding Garland did for Republicans, if Trump still goes after him for some reason.
Absolutely. Tons of people will be surprised by him.
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.
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.
No problem. He can just pull a Newt.
Shame he elected leopards to eat his and his wife’s face.
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
That community just got revived! Good timing.
I don’t think the timing is necessarily coincidence 😅
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.
They will just claim that this is Harris’ fault.
This is the biggest part of the problem. He will do exactly that and these people will believe him because every other source on the planet is lying and only Donald Trump tells it like it is.
This brings me joy.
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.
It’ll be the dEeP sTatE undermining Trump or some shit.
Yep. They’ll never realize that Trump is the deep stats.
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.
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.
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…
Yeah I’m personally fucked without my medications. I also have an extremely serious condition I need looked at but just won’t since I’ll have no insurance soon.
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.
Remember to remind those that voted for this when they are complaining about the outcomes.
That would require me to speak to them, which is something I refuse to do at this point. I’m only interested in communicating with people IRL who wish to be a part of the socio-cultural resistance.
I actually think this was part of the Fox/Conservative media plan. Make your neighbors and relatives so obnoxious that you can’t be bothered correcting them anymore.
Man, I wish we could get a general strike going in january
I’m in. Let’s get it going. Labor is basically our only hope now.
