Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

A yes, Texas, the state that contributed to get those assholes in power. Condolences to those who fought and have to suffer, but a hearty fuck you to the rest.
The other person is definitely callous but like this is the obvious result of a Trump presidency.
Cruelty is the goal for Trump and his administration.
If we care about everything bad that will or might happen we're going shut down and give up. We only have so much bandwidth for terrible stuff.
Sorry boomer, don’t give a fuck.
Medicare is the program with age based eligibility (primarily, disability can also be a qualifier).
Medicaid is the program for the poor. Boomers likely will see cuts to Medicare, but this shit is just punching down on the poor.
Well, poor maga poor then. Consequences.
Cry me a river.
I shouldn't have used shame. Family habit and I apologize.
I get the cynicism. But 47% of the people on Medicaid are children. This will affect many more people than maga poor.
I would be very surprised to find out that the majority of Medicaid recipients voted for Trump. But as long as the right people get hurt, you give zero fucks.
You sound no different than MAGA.
If I had my way, those people would have affordable housing, public health care, and a fat ham for Christmas dinner. They get to have it THEIR way, and I don't think it makes one the same as a right-wing dipshit to think that self-inflicted injury is very funny.
I agree, but read the whole comment chain. It starts off with fuck boomers. When they're corrected, well fuck the MAGA poor, they're getting what they deserve.
The entire context of the conversation is an article outlining all the people this will affect.
And even in the MAGA households, do those kids deserve to lose healthcare because their parents are easily swayed by a hypocrite and professional con man?
I shouldn't have used shame, and I apologized to them for that. But their comment was still overlooking a lot of people that this will affect who did not vote for Trump.
I would not be surprised, but it would be disappointing. I want to believe people are smarter than voting against their own interests. But I've been proven wrong in that so many times I don't have any faith.
47% of Medicaid recipients can't even vote. People are lost in frustration and despair and in their cynicism losing sight of the bigger picture.
Most of them probably couldn’t be bothered to vote. So they’ll now deal with the consequences of their inaction.
