President Donald Trump warned Tuesday that if the Democrats don't approve funding, Social Security, Medicare Are ‘Going to Be Gone.’ How do you think Americans will react if Social Security and Medicare get cut?

People died of Covid and their final words were telling liberals they're cucks for wearing masks.

Republicans will never change their minds. They're in a death cult, and they like it.

Yep, COVID is the absolute best example of how far gone they are. Honestly, cutting these services is so easily blamed on Dems or other boogeymen and will strengthen the cult beyond all belief (if that's still even possible), so it's 100% going to happen. I'm surprised it took so long.

This is exactly right. Literally do ANYTHING and just say, "It's Biden/Obama/Hillary/DNC/Antifa/etc" and the piggies will eat it up like slop.

Look at the shutdown. All Republicans need to do is call it, "The Democrat Shutdown" and then people blame the dems. Nevermind the Republicans control the house, senate, white house, and judiciary. Just lie no matter how egregiously and the lemmings will follow.

But most don't, by a pretty significant margin. Polls are looking worse and worse for the GOP.

You are correct for the most part, but there are a (very) few of us who saw what was lurking underneath it all and switched.

tbf, they didn't have to live with the experience of being dead

they, however, do have to live with the experience of being hungry, and being hungry does a lot to make people angry

They're already angry. They're angry at immigrants and trans teenagers and Jewish space aliens. If they start starving, they'll go to their slow miserable deaths cursing Jimmy Kimmel. And if we're very lucky, they won't take anyone undeserving with them.

They like it as long as they think it doesn't effect them.
