one of my electoral politics hobbyhorses is that it is a mistake to treat trump as distinct from republicans. important to do everything possible to remind voters that he is a republican who wants to do republican shit, including cut your medicare and social security
If Donald Trump becomes president again, Republicans' 2025 policy agenda will āgreatly accelerateā efforts to privatize Medicare.
I was informed on the other app that Matt Rosendale isn't the MAGA candidate in the MT Senate race, Tim Sheehy is, as if there's a dime's worth of difference between the two.
I think an important thing to realize is he'd push whatever agenda whatever political party he was elected under wanted. He doesn't want anything other than the power and notoriety. He has no real agenda other than Trump. Which, of course, makes him dangerous.
Republican shit+
Can you even believe we are fvcking talking about if/when tRump becomes president? How fvcking stupid is this country? The world is having another great laugh.
He is exactly what they want, he is not some aberration, he is a willing scapegoat. He takes all the heat and they get all the judges, laws, policies they've always wanted. He's not some disease, he's a symptom of the undemocratic sickness that has pervaded the GOP for DECADES now.
Iāve never thought he cares much about any issue, except maybe immigration. He just goes along with whatever Republicans want.
Also important to remind people that it is a mistake to treat Republicans as distinct from Trump. They are one and the same anymore, a grotesque cult of personality. Trump isn't a GOP "phase;" he IS the GOP, and the GOP is him. The party's not coming back from this one.
My biggest fear with this election is Republicans gain power and sabotage our Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid and ACA. This would be an absolute catastrophe. They have been threatening in the open. Cannot believe MAGAts donāt know what they plan. Huge chunk of them are retired boomers.
