Isn't that the entire GOP platform, in a nutshell?
Sure, they have to throw red meat to racist dumbasses to get them to vote for them...

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!

Republicans - Yes, that was the plan.
No shit.
They say that as if destroying programs that benefit the common people and instituting policies that benefit the 1% are some sort of unexpected consequences rather than the exact and explicit point.
Part of the strategy is to exhaust us by blasting our supposed impotence at us perpetually. Don't fall for it though.

41% of births and the biggest portion of maternity care are covered under Medicaid. Highest is Louisiana at 64%. Combine this with abortion restrictions and potential loss of access to labor and miscarriage related drugs and you're looking at lots more dead pregnant people, dead fetuses, and dead infants and far fewer rural hospitals handling any sort of reproductive care.
Because Republicans think that that 64% is mostly black and brown people getting a handout.
This is precisely the outcome that they desire.
Almost certainly, it shall be achieved.

Why is everyone surprised? This what republicans wanted. This is what they campaigned for. If you haven't been listening carefully for the past few years, this is exactly what they've always wanted.
This is no surprise.

Yes the GOP is made of GOP
I'm almost 40 and my whole life I've always known I would NEVER see a dime I paid into social security or medicare or anything taken from taxes. 30% of my life robbed because old greedy people are always in charge and can't see beyond their last 2 years on earth at all times.
It's worse than that. If wages had kept pace with productivity (thanks Reagan), we would have been working 2-3 day workweeks at full wages for over twenty years by now.
They literally stole over half of our lives. That amounts to class genocide.
Don't worry, they'll destroy a lot more than that. The entire US economy is about to be absolutely shredded.
What happened to "The American Way" that Superman was fighting for? Would he be ashamed now?
What happened to "The American Way" that Superman was fighting for?
The same thing that happened to truth and justice.
Superman was always fighting for people .... rich white people .. you know Americans.
