Anyone saying “they’ll never do it because they don’t want to piss off voters” is missing the real issue and makes the same mistake congressional Dems are. They are assuming we will have fair and free elections in the future.
At the speed with which the chainsaw is moving through federal government institutions, they know they don’t have to worry about elections or voters anymore because we won’t have a republic when they’re done.
Maybe I’m biased because of my reliance on the social safety net completely due to being disabled and have been called a parasite by the richest man on Earth wielding the chainsaw. I’m staring at more carnage occurring at SSA, Medicaid, and HUD all at the same time and wondering how I’ll survive even if one of those gets pulled away from me —let alone all 3.
To be fair, abortion mostly effects young women. While Medicare and Social Sec touch the lives of nearly every American family.
If they make cuts, the backlash will come from the left and the right. Significant cuts would be an indication they're not concerned with elections at all.
When all of this shit-show passes, and it will, I hope we remember to pass a law that taxes billionaires to re-fund a new and vastly improved social safety net.
And US, make it an amendment to your constitution so that it’s harder to get rid of when the next bunch of greedy fucks come along
The people who benefit most from the system pay the least to fund it. It's quite amazing that we haven't already rolled out the Guillotines.
As if I have any fucks left to give. The US can burn to the ground for all I care.
It's time for guillotines
Considering 1/3 of the people voted for Trump and 1/3 of the people didn't care enough to vote, and the remaining 1/3 vote for spineless slugs, I say America deserves anything Trump and Musk do to them.
It could have been avoided.
Honestly, they probably won't.
Why?
Because that's a non-partisan red line that would initiate an actual violent revolution. They'll back off from doing it so they can keep dismantling our democracy and filling their wallets without us getting in the way. Because Americans are just awake enough to notice cuts to SS but asleep enough not to notice our democracy dying and the age of the oligarch being ushered in.
No spoilers!
The largest and most active voter block is the elderly, they do not want to piss them off.
Roe didn't matter because the women who would vote for him largely had negative feelings about abortion.
Nobody has any intention of building a wall
Wait he did already in his first term...
