I agree but I would also add that they even label their own MAGA voters as uneducated and unfit. MAGA just doesn't realize they are voting for people who see them as pawns and therefore expendable.

Hey GOP: You are killing the economy with your policies you dumba**es. Who do you think is going to pay your rent and buy your goods after you wreck the economy? The Middle Class literally supports you and your yachting lifestyle and you are crushing us. Wake TF up.

I do not understand why the billionaires do not take down the orange clown for economic reasons alone: >Deporting immigrants hurts the economy, as do tarriffs >Occupying cities with visible military discourages commerce and tourism >Aggressive border deportation slashes international travel here

It is so clear here, that the incentive is not to save money or stop waste, it is to transfer money from public to private hands. There is no other reason for the financial incentive to deny claims.

The last US Civil War was between people who believed some people were not human, and could therefore be treated inhumanely, and those that believe all are created equal. This US Cold Civil War we are in now, is the similar. It's about inhumanity vs humanity.

BluewaveMaureen (@bluewavemaureen.bsky.social)
Pick a side in the US Cold Civil War. OH, LA, SC, WV, MS, and TN have agreed to send National Guard troops to DC. TX has passed racist re-districting. FL, NE, TX, TN and IN have recently agreed to build or expand ICE facilities. ๐งต1/2

My Congress Rep was too frightened to do an in-person Town Hall, so he did a virtual one and he only took 9 questions. He bragged about the money tariffs have raised, which can be used to pay down the debt folks were complaining about that the Big Ugly Bill has caused. WE PAY THOSE TARIFFS.

Republicans who oppose this terrible spending bill, do so not because it is hateful, cruel and will kill Americans, but because we will have to increase our deficit to do so. That's their line. Cruelty? Of course - but wait - will it cost us $$? ๐ค
