    here’s the thing though: they’ll abolish the ACA, and when people start complaining, they’ll just blame everything on mexicans.

    and trump voters will 10000000% believe it

      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.

    by the time they need it they’ll forget who even took it away.

    by the time they vote they’ll just think trump saved them from leftist death panels or some shit.

      I’m over giving a fuck about them at this point. It’s tired, old hat, doesn’t really even bother me anymore. I know they’re saying shit to enrage people but when you see enough of it, it eventually just stops registering. I’m sure they’ll still find takers for their stupid games but i also suspect others are also moving on from giving a fuck too. How long can you really play games like that before you finally see them for what they are? Bunch of miserable twats trying to drag everyone else down to their level. I take comfort knowing i live a happier life than them, that all they have is hate. It’s actually kind of sad, really

        I’m going to just assume that this is a man so he’ll be able to divorce just fine. Getting rid of no fault divorce is just for women so they are kept in the marriage where they’re abused.

      I could not agree more. This is the same bunch that tries to make being liberal a dirty word. They use liberal as epithet, along with things like environmentalist, community organizer, social justice (SJW), or veg*n (“soy boy”). Also: being educated, or in fact, aspiring to anything more than just being a huckster, a sportsball star, or, more recently, an “influencer”.

      About time to start shaming THEM.

    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.

        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 2016 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.

    Well last time they tried to get rid of it, but John McCain sank that effort as if failed 49-51. Just before he died of cancer.

    Now all the John McCains have been purged from the GOP and they will have a bigger senate majority, and likely a significant house majority too. So if there is an effort to repeal the ACA, it’ll very likely pass.

          And I was pissed off about that but now have to reluctantly give them credit for that. Turned out to be the right call.

          But if they actually use it, the way McConnel did when he was in the minority, then the Republicans will finally get rid of it. They don’t need it, as they will never again be the minority party.

    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.
