      Correct, and Trump did try to kill the ACA in 2017, partially succeeded in having parts gutted out by the SCOTUS, and is likely to succeed in fully killing it this go-round.

        The only reason it didn’t get killed last time is because John McCain voted against killing it. I don’t see anyone republicans stand up for the ACA now but I guess we’ll see

      Still relevant. Current plans involve stuff like removing pretty much all social security, defunding research, potentially even banning vaccines (!)

        Good. Ban vaccines.

        Let us be rid of all these fucking dumbassess. Let them go downwind a mile and infect each other. Let their kids get smallpox and whooping cough. Then tell them the cure is the drink drain cleaner. There’s nothing they’re not too stupid to believe.

          Uhh, that’d kill us all too.

          Hell, even making vaccines optional would be a huge negative to the population at large. Immunocompromised people would be fucked. Elderly dead in droves. Though that’d cut social security payouts so maybe that’s a bonus to them.

      It’s a good reminder of how things were the first time around, as we anticipate similar results coming in the next administration.

      This article is from 2017.

      Its is likely knowable information if she is still a registered republican.

      Blue MAGA needs their Two Minutes Hate. They’re continuing their “you deserve everything you get” arc rather than doing any self-criticism about politics or its mechanisms or whether they shouldn’t have gone all in on genocide.

        Democrats fucked up in all sorts of ways including with regard to Gaza.

        Anyone who voted Trump still deserves what they get.
