What you should be asking is how 37% of the country is just fine with this. The people who are backing this are your work colleagues, neighbors, etc, hiding in plain sight.

He believes in a Sky Wizard without any supporting evidence, so believing that polls that don’t conform to what he wants to believe is easy for him. The extreme Christians are at the root of everything bad in this country, which is sad, because if they followed Jesus’ teachings it could be better.

The working class lifespan will drop, therefore the healthy rich won’t have to contribute to programs keeping them in social security for as long, if they make retirement age at all (keep raising that too, of course) whilst still getting a lifetime of healthy underpaid labor out of them.

Once again you need to check your history books. Neville Chamberlain went to Hitler in the 30’s to try and talk Hitler into promising to leave the UK alone. Spoiler, it didn’t work, Fascists don’t play by the rules, just like we see now, and the only way to fight Hitler was to fight Hitler.
