Poor white MAGA voters will support cuts to Medicaid in order to save on “waste, fraud and abuse” the way many Latino voters supported Trump because he was only going to deport criminals.

And the idiots will all find out the same they all suffer. And they have no excuse for their stupidity they have been amply warned
😆🤬
You are so spot on
The US Capitol Switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. This number connects you with the main switchboard for the U.S. Capitol Building. You can call and ask to be connected with a specific Senator or Representative's office. Call!
These MAGA voters think Trump will never target them. They are delusional
Some people get bamboozled so easily. It’s sobering, that so many still choose to not see reality.
They have terminal stupidity: So dumb they're getting themselves killed. Slowly. By a thousand cuts.
Wait till they need for their healthcare to kick in, and help them out…. 😳
It’s really quite amazing
Trump trademark bait and switch. Pure evil.
I'd like to hear interviews with Latino voters who voted for Trump.
the leopards will be roaming looking for more faces
Half of newborns in rural America (red states) are on Medicaid. Based on access to healthcare we would be considered a “developing country”.
Oh God, we're doomed for the foreseeable future to endless stories of Trump voters crying "I didn't vote for this!"?
somehow, watching the people who voted to kill themselves get what they asked for is less satisfying than i thought it would be
Good to see they had the foresight to recognize who would protect their interests. /s
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Which is funny because red states are far more dependant on these programs than blue states.
Until it effects them
It’s plain gullible stupidity and willful ignorance and it works for no one it’s self sabotage. It’s the dumbest thing yet like Latinos still supporting Trump. Or MAGA supporting cuts to healthcare when they get their healthcare from the government.
🤦🙄🙄🙄
Still sad, real people will suffer. But sometimes you have to stand back and let them fuck themselves!
Until we find a way to control the dissemination of propaganda, people will be manipulated into hurting themselves.
Anyone who voted for the conman the second time around deserves all the bad karma one can possibly get.
Many of them will be afraid to admit they are wrong because they wont want to feel weak in front of the 'libs'. Many are still running with bible brainwashing program v1.0.
IGNORANCE/LACK of EDUCATION/STUPIDITY!... Too much of this in America! ... Waaaay TOO Much!! 🤪
Thank you -As the Bridge listened to Sulu, we are listening to George
Well when their hospitals close and doctors only take cash they will see !
Announced tonight that a small Rockford, IL, hospital is closing. Tragic for that area.
The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing but The Truth… FAFO, means FAFO !!!!!
💥🔥💥🔥💥
Just saw Chris Murphy being interviewed about it and he said that some senators have admitted that they can’t go against the president even though they know how shitty and unpopular the bill is. It’s just the most sickening display of spinelessness I’ve ever seen.
Did he name names? Voters deserve to know.
No, I’m sure their bullshit ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ stops them from naming names.
They are POS cowards.
💯

I don't know. The numbers imply Fox can't even get the cult on board. Republicans and Trump have all forgotten a very important part of their movement: Trump is the only one the Cult will forgive literally everything for.
The "untrustworthy liars" part of the Republican agenda is understated.
They are stupid and naive people. The kind of feeble minded people republicans prey upon. Part of me feels sorry for them, but part of me hopes they get deported or suffer economically. I have no sympathy for anyone who helped Trump get elected. How do you like Trump now?
His forked tongue went unnoticed.
Many maga are on Medicaid too
Yes! And SNAP, too. I remember 2012 Republican voters told Mitt Romney govt programs for extra help Democrats passed in the Great Recession helped them & of course they took the money but they still believed govt should not have those programs.
Hit me again, harder, pls sir. 😵💫
Anything to keep the non-white people down, even if it is punishes them.
Well said.
Proving, yet again, you can’t fix stupid.
bsky.app/profile/weir...
It's about hurting "those people." MAGA has bought the Big Lie that it's black and brown people who are on Medicaid. White MAGA think that names like "Bayou Health", "MississippiCAN" or "KanCare" aren't Medicaid. But they are.
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

Thank you for hanging out with us. You've our brightened my day many times. TY for being and typing.
So true!
And, then, sadly say, I can’t believe the leopards ate my face
Well said.
A real headbanger…
Apparently they haven't figured that out yet. Zero blowback from the ones destined to lose their "Free stuff". It will undoubtably be too late when they do. Revenge in 2026!
True. They will gladly slice off their nose to spite their face with the knife Trump hands them. And then blame the Dems for it. Honestly getting tired of this same ‘ol’ blame game story. 🙄
I don’t think k they have a clue
Exactly
Rural hospitals in red states will be defunded and forced to close. MAGA voters will have plenty of time to ponder their dumb vote on the two hour drive into the city.
Exactly - I checked in with my mom today and that is what she is saying along with "they're just cutting Medicaid from immigrants and people who refuse to work"- she has been infected with the maga virus. I hate trump and the disinformation channels for what feels like the early loss of my mum.
They didn't take into account "bad hombres" is anyone darker than him without his facepaint.
Then, darn it, they won't have the health care when the leopards eat THEIR faces🤷♀️
Your wisdom speaks volumes, George!!!!!
I never thought the leopard would defend my face.
Just wait till they realize that the Trump regime considers them “waste, fraud & abuse.”
I can't believe I stood up for him dressing like a high school dropout living in his grandma basement.
Some facts Which makes me understand how long this took and whose involvement
They do see only the points which are vital to themselves. Decades of the Horatio Alger-myth fueled by those who know better did this to the USA.
It's strange how the amount of "waste, fraud, and abuse" almost exactly matches the amount of tax breaks for billionaires. What a coincidence. You'd think we'd want to put that money to other uses, like fixing the system.
RIGHT. Not. REAL. Smart.....
Or people from countries other than their own. Latinos are not all the same
You'll find them over on FB. They're literally salivating over it Convinced it cuts the fraud, waste abuse Convinced people literally receive Medicaid 'checks' 😲
And we worry about them. They don't worry about us.
Will they be surprised to discover that THEY are the waste fraud and abuse.
Bingo, a sucker born every minute!
Yes because other people are the problem
Boy what a bunch of MAGA morons loosers
The "Republican Lie" about fraud was repeated so frequently that even recipients believed it! In face every state Attorney General coordinate MFCU investigations and prosecutions (Fraud, neglect, abuse for Medicaid) Annual reports are sent to HHS. No secrets here. oig.hhs.gov/documents/ev...
I hope Latinos, who voted for Trump, remember that while sitting on a plane headed for a hellish prison in El Salvador or Libya.
All an effort to "own the libs"
Enslaving themselves to own the lips
" He who feels it, knows it." Bob Marley I believe torches and pitchforks will be their response. Red State conditions are already tragic. Many sick and addicted will perish.
This was perfectly sad and very succinct everyone should understand this. Thank you George
Weird how people cannot connect the dots on what was implied during the campaign and what is actually happening. Maybe once the cuts hit and people actually feel the pain they will get it. Hoping that eureka moment will matter but sadly I am not confident
They definitely hate me for moving to the city. I got out long ago. There's so much hate. I always sensed it, but geez.
Both of those groups are motivated by anti-Blackness
Bingo!!!
Everyone gets fucked over. The waste fraud and abuse is Trumps golf trips and the Pentagon. The criminals ICE is too afraid to go after.
Sheep. I’m sorry but I have zero empathy
I live in Indiana, where Medicaid is called Hoosier Healthwise.i can guarantee that large numbers of Trump voters in Indiana do not realize they are on Medicaid. It's the same with SNAP.
Seems like there are very few "Gangsters" being caught. It seems to be mothers, kids, donut makers, and bus drivers.
Gonna be hell when we find out we were the “waste fraud and abuse.”
Like the ‘but she’s from MY church’ lady.
Pretty sure it’s tied to their allegiance to whiteness and bigotry
Exactly.
They deserve to suffer the most from their stupid choice
Sadly, they’ll all keep supporting it all because thats what good sheep do
Machismo culture and homophobia is still a huge problem in black and Latino cultures. The problem isn't just neo nazi white supremacist trash
55 percent of Latino men and 25 percent of black men voted for Trump. Stop with this white bullshit
And the white so-called "Progressive Left" of the Berniecrat wing will blame Democrats despite the fact that Democrats told those dipshits what was coming. Also, there will always be a few Uncle Ruckus types in any minority. It's not like Latino voters support Trump in large numbers.
Let's not forget the so-called "Progressive Left" also supported Trump, with some of AOC's voting bloc claiming that they did it because Trump's concepts of a plan was better than Kamala's site listing plans in explicit detail. The so-called "Progressive Left" prefers slogans to policy.
Many with hardened positions will double down rather than admit they were wrong. Even at the cost of hurting themselves. They'll then blame the left for their own actions.
So will Democrats. coloradonewsline.com/2025/04/02/h...
Hi George, I think the worst part of this bill is the hidden clause. I added the alt text for a full description. If this passes it is also retroactive. It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL however we know the Supreme Court will vote to accept this.
I work with people who rely on medicaid and medicare to stay alive. They can't make decisions without help and some of their supporters/ guardians/ advocates support cuts. I. Can't. Even.
For many of those white MAGA voters, “waste, fraud and abuse” is any benefit going to a black or brown person.
Unfortunately our low quality public education system has screwed us.
Obviously you can’t fix stupid
They are stupid. They'll shit their pants to make us smell it.
These idiots better wake the F up
We’re going to need to put the face eating leopards they voted for on a diet.
Listen, I spent 25 years of my life as a professional pet groomer, and that amount of weight on a cat is NOT healthy for their joints. Those leopards will need to be muzzled or something because they're going to eat themselves right into infirmity.
The leopards...
Ahaha! That was me 10 minutes ago trying to outrun horse flies. FYI- horse flies are faster than people 😂😂😂
It's going to be a lot worse. 1 in 5 Americans are enrolled in Medicaid. These cuts can't happen without cuts to Medicare & ACA. 60% of seniors in nursing homes rely on Medicaid. 40% of kids are enrolled in Medicaid. 68 million enrolled in Medicare 44 million get insurance thru ACA Marketplace
Foster kids are covered by Medicaid.
May all non trump voters get all the help they need. May all trump voters have nothing but misery in their life.
I really don’t care at this point anymore. Let Karma play out.🫱🏻🫲🏾🌹
Cannot fix stupid. And sorry, in this demographic, they vote consistently against their own self interest. And we ALL suffer because of the demonstrated willful ignorance.
Elections have consequences. My problem is that people who refuse to learn (and are proud of that fact) get the same vote as a phD candidate.
Several years ago, I remember reading an article in The New York Times -- poor white Kentuckians getting health care coverage through Obamacare and yet they could not bring themselves to give Obama the credit.
This is true, but let’s not forget that this bill is historically unpopular. People generally know it’s bad. Some have caught on that it is murder.
Muslims supported MAGA were anti LGQBTiA. But they gonna find out.
Sigh.
Apparently they didn't realize he thinks being non-white, non-fascist is criminal.
Takei got that equation so Correct!
Uh huh. Complete inability to discern truth from fiction. I don’t need such imbeciles making choices for me.
With a Bill who's aims is to change the US into Russia, a shithole country where no citizen is safe, not even abroad, the time for the Dems, the media and the population to react forcefully is NOW. Do nothing and you'll be no better than those who stayed home on 5 Nov. Those who do nothing, concur.
And because they revel in cruelty to others, so long as they don’t personally experience it.
Talking to you Cubans in Miami 👀 while your grandmas and grandpas die in krome another one literally yesterday
Yep, when they start losing benefits Fox News will run commentary on how Obama, Clinton and Biden are the cause of their suffering. They are completely hoodwinked.
I agree
Exactly.
Good! Hope every last toothless, shoeless, brainless, witless, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, bigoted one of them SUFFERS!
Nailed it
So sadly true.
Exactly like that.
If you support it, you deserve it all.
"Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak for me." #History
😆😆😆😆😆😆💩. Ignorantly pathetic!
This is Ai. Ain’t many couples can agree to wear the same thing. Trailer in the background emphasizing their poorness. Most maga ppl wouldn’t hold a sign like this unless it had trump’s name on it. Plus the lighting is crap. God, I wish people would stop using ai. It’s gross and harmful.
Eat less propaganda 👍 It is obviously an AI image. ...so obvious, that I really worry that you felt the need to point it out. If you're worried about the negative effects of computer programs, move to the woods 👍
Hey, I know you felt like I was coming at you, but I’m upset with how the world is and seeing ai and everywhere, not necessarily you… Also, idk where propaganda comes in, can you help me understand what you mean?
This isn't really "simple" but I was impressed at how much work went into this... If you want to evaluate for your own improved opinions. The Misrepresented Environmental Impact of AI: Separating Fact from Fiction | by Freedom Preetham | The Simulacrum | Medium share.google/EHN8nverzsQz...
Read this article, seems mostly balanced. Gave it to my gf to read she enjoyed it too.
Interesting points I hadn't specifically considered - related to OVERALL cost of things AI generates a pic.. Drawing, requires YEARS of training/skill. Food and transport. Uploading and editing. Paint, ink, tools, Exc As an Environment Scientist, I'm aware of total costs - but this was helpful
Beyond that there's the problem that the creative fields already gave up so many standards that, when they need to defend their craft there's nothing left except "they're human".
The brainwashed (or even mandatory reality in some cases) idea that ART (and everything else) has to be for profit - is a sad thing. ...if you make art for anything other than enjoyment or expression - AI is a huge mean threat. True. Genuinely empathetic 👍 Get over it 🤷 ...not sure how 🫤
I really hope someone out there will give you a hug tonight.
Ai is trained off of real people’s art. Their art that they worked hard on for days/months/years, stealing from all of us. When ai makes your field/job obsolete, I hope you still feel the same way, truly.
I do feel bad for that loss. GONE. I feel bad for losing several trades I worked long and hard for - as well as all others THE REALITY IS - THE PAST IS THE PAST I'm not buying tapes or VHS anymore... Not plowing my fields with an ox. Not having AAA set me up with a special map for my roadtrip
Yeah, and artists had been pirating Photoshops, software synthesizers, Windows, and Office since the dawn of time. Our field is already adapted to the expectations that our works will get stolen, and no one will give a damn about it.
There are costs to EVERYTHING Large-scale computing, like anything large-scale, will have potential for large-scale impacts It's real THERES ALSO A WAVE OF PROPAGANDA AND DEMAGOGUERY - AND SPREADING RUMORS IS JUST GOSSIP Environmental Impacts of Generative AI share.google/mzv7bJlmUKaS...
I understand what you are saying here, you have a true sentiment. A question: isn’t the picture of the older poor couple, with maga hats, holding a sign in support of billionaires propaganda? Especially if it’s created through ai? It looks like you are trying to pass this off as real, when it isn’t.
Only a very small percentage of people would assume that image is real Sorry that you seem to be one of them It's OBVIOUSLY AI ...and your claim that I'm trying to pass it off as real - is OFFENSIVE It can certainly be considered "propaganda" which it was OBVIOUSLY meant to be exactly that
MAGA Cult is too dumb to know that their support for a regime giving national wealth to the wealthy - is "like" support for the wealthy. The MEME (which is AI) IS AN ALLEGORY ...like this one - which is not to trick people into thinking that Trump is literally having a homosexual relationship 😆
thanks for talking to me about your perspective, I appreciate that.
Then—- why were you accusing me of “eating propaganda” legit confused?
A MEME expressing a valid point - can be considered "propaganda" A FALSE NARRATIVE - like AI is inherently deceptive and harmful to the environment - IS PROPAGANDA ...both propaganda One intentional and honest Yours, deceptive and false DIFFERENT ...sorry you can't get this right away 🤷
I never mentioned anything about the environment. Relax and read my first comment. I said it was harmful because of the portrayal of those people. You put the environment stuff on me lmao 😂
wait until grandma gets kicked out of the nursing home
Nazi’s called it gleichschaltung
Mr. Takei, I am Latino. Me, my uncle, my grandparents, and my parents did not vote for Trump.
That's the silverline here trumpers are included in the package of cuts.
Yep. 🤦♀️
The waste,fraud and abuse is directly in the nazi whitehouse!!!
They will still blame Biden
Indeed.
Oh the grift
Why don't they just cut off their own foot? They are just that stupid. Do they even know what waste, fraud, and abuse regarding financial matters means, or do they think it's a Friday night when their man comes home drunk?
Wait until their grandmother gets kicked out of her senior living facility
Trump has no use for the elderly that can't work. He has no use for children I can't work. Keep your eyes on your toddlers. Keep your eyes on your grandma and grandpa. Normal people love them with all their hearts. Trump hates them with all his heart because they cannot produce in sweatshops
MAGA will turn when it gets real for them. Trump is still able to blame high gas and food prices on “Biden’s economy”. But when Bubba and his mama lose their Medicaid and SNAP, they will snap, and come out of the hills with their AR 15s that they couldn’t afford in the first place.
#FAFO
Too true, George Takei.
Poor white MAGA voters will support cuts to Medicaid so Black and brown folks don’t get it. Let’s keep it all the way a 💯
They have been trying for a long time to figure out whites only welfare
Considering poor whites use the most “welfare” this is about to get real entertaining. May they have the day they voted for.
I think it was CBS who interviewed a Latino store owner who came here illegally and eventually got her citizenship. She said she voted for Trump for the economy. When asked if her customers are worried about deportation, she said they are more concerned about making money. I'm not marching!
I got nothing. youtube.com/shorts/aFz1S...
Majority white women voted for Trump. Including liberal women. Because they much rather their place under a white man then a black woman. I'm not marching.
Don't even get me started about white men. Especially white evangelicals. I'm not marching.
For six months liberals have been marching. For six months millions took to the streets to protest and march. NOTHING has changed. Marching isn't how you fight this fight. But liberals can't seem to find their balls. I'm not marching for anyone who don't seem to appreciate what they are losing.
Same deal, same terms. “Vote for me and I shall exacerbate the problems that bother you most.” Simple but effective campaign strategy.
I have yet to see ANY evidence of "wastefraudabuse" like the Jeenyus 5 y.o. bragged about in between blowing up rockets. Haven't heard Trumposhenko use the words "wastefraudabuse" pretty much since the election. Folks who are stealing money from us talk about it all the time. Projection? Ya think?
Progessives have to create a new media ecosystem for red areas👍
I'm but one, have you any guesstimate as to how many like me, feel no regard. when learned experience people, alert you to the danger that man possesses, and YOU STILL support him. adios and don't look back.
Thinking about the Cubans, Haitians and Venezuelans in South Florida that supported Donald Trump.
they don't realize that they are considered to be the waste, fraud, and abuse just like Latino voters didn't realize that they were considered criminals regardless of whether they did it "the right way".
Stupid is as stupid does.
Stop this budget bill CALL your senators You, your children, grandchildren, and your aging parents are depending on YOU
Actually, it’s more likely that Faux News is telling them that everything is just fine, skipping the parts about Medicaid cuts entirely.
Those Latinos and Haitians are going home or somewhere else. That will teach them about voting for "the strongman"
. But then one day they will wake up . . . ... the moment will come ! 💠 👊 💠
Yeah, but they won't even see pastors who don't have insurance.
Through everything from the first term and now into the second, I’m convinced that that day will never come
I wonder if trump insinuated a no deportation for your votes at a Latino rally. If he did, he damn sure lied to them.
Voting against their own interest: the definition of stupidity aka the way of life in red states.
All of my MAGA neighbors are so happy Republicans are “getting rid of the illegal immigrants here”. They don’t care what the cost to our nation is.
Wait until they personally are HARMED by these Treasonous/Sickly Acts of Inhumane treatment to those who have made America flourish!.. Maggots will be singing another tune before long!... Their IGNORANCE and LACK of COMMON SENSE are Astonishing!
I don’t think Republicans will blame their own. They just cannot accept any responsibility for any other illegal and inhumane actions, just like their corrupt leader and their Supreme Court “justices”.
It's beyond ASTONISHING!!! 🥴
I live surrounded by Republicans in my coastal southeastern NC county. Camp Lejeune is just north of us by about 30 miles. It’s a shitstorm of MAGA here. They only get their news from right wingers.
Sad!... I have hoped over time that these Uninformed Maggots would listen to the FACTS, but they Refuse!... They are Myopic and WILL pay"Bigly" for their STUPIDITY!
MAGAs will realize too late we will have a food shortage bc of their hate for immigrants.
The Republicans will legalize child and prison labor to try making up for the shortage.
amen preacher
Nobody can help those brain-sick people.
The more dead the less votes. Sorry not sorry for the dopes.
"Waste, fraud and abuse" are precisely the words to describe Trump and his crime family.
Owning the Libs Uber Alles.
They should look up "Hoovervilles", because that's what they're going to be living in soon, though suitably renamed trumptowns I'm sure...
And it will serve them right.
The only demographic that got Trump elected, the ONLY demographic that mostly voted for Trump, were white people. Trump wouldn't even exist were it not for his white base. People can't stop screeching about the "Latino vote for Trump" because for once they didn't save white people from themselves.
MAGAs want to hurt other people to make themselves feel superior. The idiots don't realize they're the "other people."
