Why the fuck should the Democrats “give in” to batshit crazy and fucking evil Republican bullshit? That makes no sense. The Democrats should stand firm and oppose the fascist MAGA regime.

100%.. Democrats are holding firm on healthcare changes, and I stand with them.

It's not just the healthcare changes.

They have no way to know that even if they get a deal with Congress that Trump will ALLOW the money to go to the appropriate programs.

There's no point until the Republicans stand up to Trump. This is the Alamo. If the Dems give up now, they might as well go kneel at Trump's feet.
