MAGAdontCare is one idea.
Or maybe just NotCare for short.
If you remove the T, it'll be his name, so I suggested that.
MAGAdonCare
He's changed it so much it's Trumpcare now. That's why so many children are getting fucked.
The Trump administration is all but forcing American people to exit the health insurance market entirely. I'm not sure to what end? The only "advantages" I can imagine they might be hoping for are extremely short sighted at best. I know that's par for the course with these folks, but still.
The heritage foundation nazi filth (who are puppeteering the dementia riddled pedophile) laid out in their unabashedly fascist project 2025 that they want to genocide the population down to 100 million people so that they will be easier to control.
Hasn’t P2025 indicated the opposite? They want more births (gutting abortion rights and making birth control difficult to access) so they can have a stupid cheap surplus of labor?
Actually you're probably right. I misattributed that as being one of the p25 goals, when it was in fact a direct quote from the tangerine tyrant himself, describing Stephen Miller (Reichsführer-SS, Interior Minister) behind closed doors.
The line, as first reported in The New York Times and echoed by The Guardian, landed like a cinder block in a bowl of pudding. Trump, in a private 2024 campaign strategy meeting, reportedly said:
“If it was up to Stephen [Miller], there would only be 100 million people in this country, and they would all look like him.”
Can you point me to where in the documents I'd find these details? Furiously curious right now and fuuuck goddamn why are we lettin society go down like this man
When you realize they're trying to collapse the whole country for Russia's gain, it makes a little more sense.
Ah, I love it here... I still have the 2001 slogan "support the troops" screaming in my head, wonderful! Just a wonderful experience being an American is.
"Would you like some French fries?"
"No, I'll take some freedom fries, thank you very much!"
Just, lovely.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion about why this is happening, and I share yours.
This is where the rubber meets the road: If the majority of MAGA voters that chose Trump decide to sit out the mid-terms rather than vote out their GOP representatives who are okay with this, it's then definite that MAGA is a death cult. Individually and for America as a nation.
Private healthcare insurance companies should be abolished and the executives should be subjected to severe corporal punishment
Bernie would have won.
No, we all face higher deductibles and premiums. Fewer enrollees means a smaller risk pool and fewer dollars in the insurance and health care system as a whole. Prices will have to go up to keep equilibrium as well as more denial and delay of care. Hospitals and providers will probably also close up shop or consolidate to save costs. We're all getting screwed unless money is simply no object for you.
"asked"?
Our healthcare system is such a fucking disaster. And we're actively being blocked from fixing anything with it.
