      This is like the English voting to exit EU… Only when shit hits the fan, the red necks will still continue to say it was a good idea

      Well, don’t complain. Trump’s billions for billionaires will eventually trickle down to you. Just kneel and hold your hand out. I promise, it will come eventually.

    Don’t be obtuse.

    I’m not willing to let the vulnerable be hurt just to get some schadenfreude on Trump supporters.

    That is not a fair trade.

        For me it’s not Schadenfreude. The realization they are about to have will hurt so hard, they will never ever allow it to happen. So it’s not the least bit funny, it’s a spiral of violence ready to unfold.

        Don’t forget Trump floated the Idea of a real life Purge in October. That is the level we are aiming for here. Healthcare? They will have new, bigger problems.

      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.”

      My in-laws include retirees who live on social security and Medicare, a woman who has had a job for maybe 3 years in her life, and her adult aom with Cerebral Palsy. The last 2 survive mostly on the son’s SSI. None of them will get any help from me or my wife when all of these programs are canceled because they voted for it. Elections have fucking consequences, shitbags.

      Plus, they ALL order ahit from Wish and Temu. I can’t wait to hear them cry about how everything is wo much more expensive now!

        Good. Feel free to DM me their mailing address when the time comes so I can send them a postcard saying, “Thoughts & Prayers–just kidding, you get what you deserve”.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    Once they kill the provision that protects people with pre-existing conditions I’m dropping my health insurance completely. I refuse to pay them through my lost potential income for a “service” that they will just deny as soon as possible. Medical insurance companies can go fuck themselves.

      As someone with cancer, dear god I wish that was realistically an option for me.

      I’m probably realistically just gonna die soon, even though my medication probably would have let me live relatively comfortably the rest of my life.

      Even the generics of my meds are about $5k a month without insurance.

      I also won’t be able to afford regular blood tests or, you know, being able to see the cancer doctor.

        I wish I had something more comforting to say, but all I’m left with is rage towards the people that put you in this situation. So many people have so much more unnecessary anxiety now just so already disgustingly wealthy people can be more disgustingly wealthy.

        I wish all the calls for guillotines weren’t just empty words. :(
