I have a feeling this channel is going to get a lot of content in the next four years…
The best argument against democracy is a 5-minute interview with an average voter.
What do you do for the remaining 4-1/2 minutes?
Go to your happy place
They will get what they deserve
Nah, somehow it’ll be Biden’s fault… google backfire effect, the more you challenge their beliefs the more they fight for them, even when proven wrong. They do not learn. They will not ever learn. They do not want to learn.
No they won’t. That’s a big reason why they never change.
Just start laughing about loud and point at them with your arm fully extended. We should start shaming people in a more direct primal way again. Shame is probably the most powerful feeling (maybe second to “ahh oh my god I’m dying???” however you want to call that)
I agree. Tolerance of such extreme idiocy is unhealthy for society.
Shame is a paralyzing emotion. It does not bring change. Guilt does.
“I didn’t think it would hurt me.” - Trump voters for the next four years.
Just like the first 4 years.
Assuming they live that long.
“I didn’t think leopards would eat MY face”
-Leopard Eating Faces Party voter-
As a school bus driver, I work with a bunch of older people who are already utterly dependent on social security and medicare to have any semblance of a life that doesn’t involve living in a tent in the park and dumpster diving for dinner. They are mostly trumpers. We’re all Teamsters as well, and a few are married lesbians (and these are the most rabidly pro-trump of all). I have made a few attempts to convince them that trump (and Republicans for fucking decades) are out to destroy social security, medicare, unions and gay rights (among lots of other things) - but they reacted to me like I had grown an extra head. Somehow they’ve convinced themselves that the GOP is the original source and the protector of these things.

They do know that just because it’s a Republican porn of choice, Republicans don’t actually hate lesbians, right?
They are mostly trumpers.
Spend all your time on a bus listening to AM Talk Radio year after year after year and see what happens to your brain.

Americans are the most propagandized people on Earth.
Didn’t they have control of the House and Senate last time and still couldn’t get it repealed before? Do they have the votes to get rid of it this time?
Assuming they get rid of it, assuming Trump actually steps down in 4 years, and assuming we ever have another election (big ifs, I know), could this actually help Democrats for the next few election cycles?
This was the one reason I wasn’t cheering for the filibuster to be repealed. The 60 vote threshold was the only thing that saved it last time. They will only be able to realistically get rid of it if they abolish the filibuster. Which would be a net win for Democrats, so they likely won’t do it.

Repealing the bill would mean revoking tens to hundreds of millions from various states. A lot of the healthcare and health insurance industry (which is dominated by right-wing financial interests) sees ACA as a valuable income stream. Its hard to uproot for the same reason Social Security and Medicaire/caid are hard to uproot. There’s simply too much money running through the system and too many private interests invested in the flow.
The idea of voting for a candidate with whom you disagree on things upon which you depend for your livelihood or survival is just wild to me.
People vote based on what they think the person is like. Harris is boring and the same old. Trump tells it like it is, that’s exciting!
Nevermind that boring is what you want for government, you want everything to just work. But no, gotta be emotional about it.They don’t think about any of the social programs that they depend on. It’s about hurting the right people. A platform built on hate. Then they wonder why the leopards ate their face.
The assumption to make here is that Trump is willing to try to do everything he’s said. This is a guy who literally tried to ban Muslims after all.
Personally, I think that the tumult of his administration is going to get in the way of its own agenda, as evidenced by his first presidency. Half of the people on his staff will be gone before the first year is out, and Trump is going to spend more time golfing than he will actually governing. His biggest focus will be on monetizing the presidency, and he surrounds himself with incompetent sycophants.
These and other factors make it difficult to say what he will actually achieve.
As for the ACA, it was a conservative court that stopped him the first time, so the SCOTUS is no slam dunk. I don’t think anyone can definitively state what will happen with regards to health care in this country.
JD Vance was made his running mate cause JD Vance is down with project 2025 and will be doing the actual running of things.
So it doesnt matter what Trump is off doing. JD Vance will be back at the office, doing the nasty work that trump will rubber stamp.
JD Vance is down with project 2025
He was one of the authors, even.
You can speculate on that, but history would demonstrate that you’re probably wrong. Hell, Trump tried to get his own VP assassinated last time.
I’m sure they think they can control Trump, but as we saw from 2016 to 2020, they can’t. That’s especially true at Trump’s age and with his cognitive decline.
Trump also famously told his VP picks in 2017 that they would run the country, he just wanted the title and perks of the presidency.
That was 8 years and 3 swaying Ave Marias ago, I doubt he is more motivated to do the job now.
Fair point.
Normally I would agree with you but I think Donald has lost touch with reality and we are letting a dementia patient run the country. I don’t think we could be in more dangerous territory. I mean, he isn’t even playing golf anymore.
it’s been 9 fucking years and we can’t take Trump at his fucking word?
People should start using the term “cancel” for this, instead of “repeal”. Conservative cancel culture is a very old tradition.
LAMF != selfawarewolves
It’s not LAMF unless the consequence they’re bemoaning is precisely the thing they intended to impose on others, not expecting it to be imposed on themself, too.
It’s very obvious said Trump voter wasn’t seeking the ACA to be taken away from only certain others (they clearly recognize that it doesn’t work that way), so no LAMF.
No. Completely fits, including as per the definition outlined in the sidebar. Leopard: “I eat faces!” Trumpanzee: *votes for the Leopard* Trumpanzee after the election wondering: “He’s not REALLY actually going to eat our faces, right?”
And… We get the return of “preexisting conditions”
That would be crazy if this gets reintroduced.
Yes it will be repealed.
An Alex Jones inspired health plan will replace it.
The Trump government will propose the carnivore diet as healthy. Vaccines will be banned. Only Alex Jones Nutraceuticals will be prescribed by doctors. Cardio will be state mandated as an official LGTBQ activity, along with voguing, cardio voguing. Beards will be mandatory, whether you can grow one or not. The only clothing that will be allowed for men will be jeans, stupid meme shirts, motard gear, and line 9 apparel.
The life expectancy for American males will tank to around 50, women and vaccines will be blamed.
Gays and Jews will also be blamed
I’m sure it’s those Haitians, they seem to be in control of everything these days
If Trump repeals the ACA it’s BIDENS Fault! I’m a Republican who does their Own Research!
If Trump repeals the ACA it’s Harris’ fault! I’m a Democrat who was too good to vote!
The leopards are going to become very fat this next few years
Faces! Delicious faces!
