We're talking about the same people who said "keep the government's hands off of my Medicare" or call SSDI "their draw".

When their "kin" die because the nearest hospital is 5 hours away, they're going to blame black people hoovering up all the medical care in the inner cities.

And bankruptcy and collections mean nothing to them because they can't afford anything anyway.

And the GOP controls the Senate and enjoys a healthy structural advantage in the EC because of these people. These people who siphon money away from blue states and blue cities.

The GOP is doing to them what they always thought Democrats would, and they'll still blame Democrats.

Same, plus I believe the other tax cuts will also benefit us. I've been voting against my economic interests for 30 years, but the GOP keep giving me, a rich white man, stuff.

Someone did the math, and ICE now has a bigger budget than all by 15 of the world's defense budgets. Just behind Canada, just ahead of Italy.
