      Correct, and Trump did try to kill the ACA in 2017, partially succeeded in having parts gutted out by the SCOTUS, and is likely to succeed in fully killing it this go-round.

        The only reason it didn’t get killed last time is because John McCain voted against killing it. I don’t see anyone republicans stand up for the ACA now but I guess we’ll see

      Still relevant. Current plans involve stuff like removing pretty much all social security, defunding research, potentially even banning vaccines (!)

      It’s a good reminder of how things were the first time around, as we anticipate similar results coming in the next administration.

      Blue MAGA needs their Two Minutes Hate. They’re continuing their “you deserve everything you get” arc rather than doing any self-criticism about politics or its mechanisms or whether they shouldn’t have gone all in on genocide.

        Democrats fucked up in all sorts of ways including with regard to Gaza.

        Anyone who voted Trump still deserves what they get.

    Watson also voted for Donald Trump, believing the businessman would bring change. She dismissed his campaign pledges to scrap the Affordable Care Act as bluster.

    Watson, a proud, salty woman who was uninsurable a few years ago, isn’t ready to renounce Trump.

    If one could only turn human stupidity into electricity, then this woman could light up an entire street.

    We’re going to see these “news” articles resurface in here, a lot. At least until Trump takes office again and generates new content for this community. It’d be cool if this community could implement a “no years-old news posts” rule, until then.
