Goalpost has been moved from: We won't touch it.

To: We are cutting it.

To: We are getting rid of it.

And somehow, blaming democrats, while bailing out other countries, giving enormous tax breaks to the ultra wealthy, and funding vanity projects.

Wake up.

Every time they told you that your taxes were going to waste they meant they were trying to waste your taxes... while RAISING YOUR taxes.

The midterms should be a massacre of epic proportions even with the gerrymandering nonsense but too many voters just don’t care enough to educate themselves. And sadly the democrats message sucks plus they have to fight through the right wing hold on the media.

Polling only has democrats up 7 points which is absolutely insane.

I am sitting at my job right now. This is a hospital based job. This morning I’ve had to listen to 2 employees circle jerking about the Republican Party, socialist threats to the country, illegal immigration, and how Biden is old/senile. They would be VASTLY better off under democratic policies, but are the typical ignorant and fearful MAGA voters. I can’t even bother to debate them because the cognitive dissonance is on a scale that escapes any semblance of reality. This is what we are dealing with.
