You lose the senior vote as the GOP, you’re fucked.

Yes, we’ve another two years, and it’s becoming more clear this is why they’re speedrunning.

    I think you are 100% correct, except for the first and last lines.

    And if government services they or their loved ones rely on disappear or they’re kicked off of, there’s a real chance they might revolt.

    I know these people as well, and they will never under any circumstances risk harm to themselves. Just as their vote was entirely selfish, so will their avoidance of violence be.

    They are the kind of people who would have signed up as a Nazi Party member not because they agreed with it, but because they’d think it would be the best way to stay safe: just keep their heads down and go along quietly. Selfishness and fear can often go hand-in-hand; self-preservation and self-prioritization are divided by only the narrowest of very blurry lines.
