    When the ACA healthcare subsidies finally fall and people end up having no access to affordable medical treatment… I forsee that once Meemaw and Pawpaw go to their graves because they couldn’t see the doctor anymore, you’ll see the end of this horseshit.

    Fascism looks good to many people who think it will help them get ahead.

    Once they start to die from its implementation however, (or, their kids end up drafted and fighting in Venezuela…) things are going to get VERY interesting.

    Federal immunity, but not State. And the statute of limitations will be longer than President Miller’s reign.

      No. They will not change after that. How many times does this have to be demonstrated. They will blame anything else but their own actions. People lay in hospital bed coughing up blood and dying screaming it wasnt covid. You are VASTLY underestimating the human capability to lie to themselves.

        It’s easier to say “it wasn’t Covid” and blame something else than it is to somehow ignore that your Healthcare is gone when you go broke and can’t afford your medicine. There’s really nothing else you can blame it on. Now, they may blame the cause on democrats or something, but they can’t really ignore the effect.

      nah, this was never about making some people’s lives better, it was always about punishing people they don’t like, even if they get hurt in the process.

        No, it has always been about enriching themselves and the people they want something from.

        The lives they intend to make better are their own. No one else matters.

        Promising to hurt people that their ignorant supporters don’t like was just a means to an end. The reality is they hate their ignorant supporters too.

          for the rich, yhea, 100% fucking over everyone to make more wealth.

          For poor rednecks, it’s about punishing others people they don’t like, even if they themselves get fucked over.

            The poor rednecks fall into the category of “ignorant supporters”.

            Partly because they’re getting hurt along with everyone else, but mostly because what they wanted didn’t matter any more than what the Democrats wanted. Once their vote was cast, they ceased to exist.
