So, it’s either healthcare subsidies or food? You can’t have both? Even though we had both before Republicans took it all away, so they could give tax breaks to Trump’s rich donors?
In a less polarized and post truth world you’d probably be right. I fear however that the solid 36-37% maga base will never find an issue that can’t be spun or rationalized. In the magasphere this situation seems to be framed as the GOP stepping up to fight against free health care for illegal immigrants which seems divorced from reality.
Yeah, but most of the hardcore maga base is going to die within 10 years, but waaaayyyy sooner if Trump keeps cutting snap and Medicaid. Then you’ll be left with the few capable white supremacist MAGAts, and a lot of out of shape brainwashed dipshits who will either scatter into the shadows or fall in line and shut the fuck up real quick
I truly think that a good amount of these people could be personally executed by Trump shooting them in the chest, and while Trump says “I know what you are and I hate you” they would lay there dying and say “Oh it’s okay, I know you didn’t mean that. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. I still support what you’re doing overall.” or possibly even “I guess I do deserve to die if you say so”.
Now I will say the majority of even the maga team is not this nuts. But some definitely are. Many humans have unfortunately had the privilege to never interact with the kind of person who will truly never change their mind. I’ve known one or two, and it’s a really mind-expanding experience, almost like you’re meeting an extraterrestrial. It’s hard for people who haven’t seen them to believe 👽 lol
I think by saying he’ll defy a court order, he’s letting the supreme court know they have to okay whatever bullshit he comes up with. Otherwise, it will become obvious that they can’t do jack shit.
If the government can’t afford to feed and heal the people, they shouldn’t be building a ballroom. I was taught in school to pay for your needs before your wants.
This is literally how we got here. Dems capitulated over and over during Obama’s presidency to keep programs like SNAP going, and Republicans have run the same strategy ever since. Stonewall everything as long as you can, and blame it on the other side the entire time. And people eat it up every single time.
I feel like dems should add to their list of demands- if the Rs dont agree to reverse course on Healthcare now, dems will not agree to reopen until all missed snap benefits are paid back retroactively- if it goes another week, they will not vote until ice is fully refunded, etc
Use open secrets dort org. You can find the shitbags in your area that gave 5k, 10k, 20k, 50k+ directly to the trump campaign. Not a general Republican PAC, but directly to HIS campaign. You can then cross reference those names with county property records. Then you can engage in civil political discourse with those people

Fuck these assholes.
It’s also a bit of PR nightmare for the GOP. Trump defying the court order shifts the blame back onto them.

It’s a cult
Reality genuinely doesn’t play any part in things with them
Trump is posting on social media that Biden’s administration was just giving SNAP benefits away. His idiot supporters are gonna believe it.

Was the order even appealed or did he just tell them to pound sand?
No idea. They always take their time, delay, and appeal so I just assume that’ll be the eventual resolution.

I guess they don’t even have to bother.
it was always on them, but more never hurts.

But the ballroom is all being paid for by the people who are hoping Trump will do them favors. So, that makes it none of our business.
In the end it’s going to be neither. Because once you give way on one front, it is proven that you’ll negotiate.

Be thankful you get a choice.
We didn’t get a choice about bailing out Argentina. Or soybean sales to China.
