I knew this MAGA person on social media who was somewhat normal and well-adjusted. We debated politics occasionally. In 2020 during the pandemic and the protests he started posting memes like this one. I was very disturbed to see him condoning this, but it is what the MAGA movement has normalized.

Even when he has consequences like that $350 million business fraud judgment against him, he just sells shitcoins and collectible NFTs to pay it off. It's like 70 million people decided to continually reward the most crooked politician in our history just to punish the left. What could go wrong?

I honestly doubt it because millions of poor MAGA voters are going to lose health care due to this, and that's one of the most surefire ways to create pissed-off voters for the 2026 midterms. They're taking that huge gamble regardless because they're so fixated on passing tax cuts for the rich.

The whole point of these new GOP restrictions on Medicaid is to find ways to kick people off in order to fund tax cuts for the rich. So if these restrictions didn't apply to anyone, like is claimed, their plan wouldn't make any sense as it wouldn't get them any money that way.
Allen James (@lalenjames.bsky.social) reply parent
It's too bad so many people liked Sandy's comment now that it's become a talking point to refute what the GOP is doing. It isn't true though. The Obamacare expansion made Medicaid income-based, so if you're poor you qualify. Doesn't matter if you work or have dependents. And this is a good thing.

Looks like a pretty solid bike ๐ I have an old steel touring bike I picked up for free that I need to restore eventually, so I'd probably purchase a road bike from them instead, but good to know they make reliable aluminum frames. I still like aluminum despite what all the naysayers say haha.

Just report, block, and move on. It's some pissy obsessive idiot who is never going to stop harassing and insulting anyone here who thinks being forced to register with SS is a valid concern and fear for men in the age of Trump and potentially yet another endless war in the Middle East.
Allen James (@lalenjames.bsky.social) reply parent
It absolutely is some obsessive misandrist just spewing bile at everyone. Lol did you see how this all started? It was about trying to express a valid concern and fear many men have (Kat's post got 26K+ likes so it must resonate) and that alone caused this person to go absolutely haywire.
Allen James (@lalenjames.bsky.social) reply parent
