When Republicans use the term "opportunity" it means "insuring the poor die faster".
Just like when Republicans use the word "Liberty" it means "our right to authoritarian rule".

People who didn't vote for this that live in Red states have my sympathies (I'm one included) but if this is the type of thing that will teach these people not to vote for these fucks than so be it.
That is sadly exactly what will happen.
For the same reason the same states did not expand Medicaid to more people, despite the federal government covering 90% of the costs.
I don't think you are. So many seem to presume the people that will be hurt by this are all Trevor from Tennessee rather than minorities.
Because the people below the poverty line are majority minority.
To name but one suggestion.
It's the same people who love the Affordable Healthcare Act (and whose lives might even depend on it) but who absolutely despise Obamacare
Exactly. They don't know. They notice things getting worse but they don't know the cause is shitty policies from their elected leaders. Those same leaders are telling them everything is fine, gaslighting them and convincing them to blame Democrats for anything negative happening as it relates to their healthcare. So they do.
how stupid do you have to be to not only do this in an election year, but do it in a way that will almost certainly be trapped in the court system for a long time...
Right-wing relatives are fun to laugh at. There's no use cutting them off.
I think fun isn't the right word to describe them
Anyway, this is just another policy that is aimed at hurting the people who can't stand up for themselves.
Block Grant.....no thanks
We (Georgians) fucking tried but those bitch-ass Republicans were so scared of losing they literally purged/suppressed votes and cheated their way to victory.
Trump is totally going to run on the promise of overturning Roe v Wade to appeal to the religious white that this will hurt.
You do realize the red states voters are not 100% red, right?
Agreed. I've called this kind of stuff out in other threads before. One of the responses I've seen is that we should leave for a liberal state if we don't agree with republican policies, which a) assumes that everyone who will be hurt by these policies has the means to move, and b) is a terrible idea, packing all the democratic voters into a few liberal states. Enjoy never having the presidency or senate ever again.
Aren't you from Arizona? Your state government is entirely controlled by Republicans. There is a good chance people you know would be affected by this.
Yeah, I should've clarified my statement.
They're the only ones that I feel sorry for, as well as kids & minorities
As a bit of blue in the sea of red I sometimes wonder why I moved here to be closer to family.
I do enjoy getting the disapproving looks when I ask for the democrat card for nomination season at the polls.
Yes I am and the people that live here that didn't vote for these bastards have my sympathies. But if this is the type of thing that is going to teach these people to not vote for these bastards I don't know what else will.
Majority of people never see this. Unless you are financially dependent on them, cut them out and show them their bigotry has consequences.
How the politics of racial resentment is killing white people
A new book explains how racism gets whites to support policies that hurt them.

please read.
...and people say Trump "tells it like it is". If that was true they'd just call this the Kill the Poor program.
they expect everyone to go to their little blue areas where the NIMBYism is running rampant and people are being forced out onto the street as they lose their homes due to gentrification forcing the locals out
ppl on this forum are just completely separated from reality
Yes, people need to stop dealing with toxicity just because it is family. Not only because you disagree with them, but because their toxicity will affect you and your growth. It sucks, but it doesn't suck more than having these people in your close proximity.
Yes, because they don't care.
A lot of these dipshits want the federal government to not have anything to do with them.
They'll fuck everyone over to get their goal.
I'm stuck in one of these backwards towns. These people hate the state government, they hate the federal government.
They'd love nothing more then to make it all go away.

Do you interact with other humans in the world or are you strictly on the internet?
So you're implying that cutting toxic people from your life is some weird internet only thing?
Of course they know. But they would rather die in the street under a Republican administration than vote Democrat.
Ah, so you're a sealion stuck on the internet.
Got ya. Have fun with that.
User warned: antagonizing another member
Ah so you're just trolling. Got ya, have fun with that.
What's wrong with you? They're just trying to help you & you're being a dick.
"Things keep getting worse. I'm going to vote Republican!"
(time passes)
"Oh jeez, I can't find a good job anymore! I better vote Republican!"
(time passes)
"Goddamn they took away my health care! The Republicans better fix that!"
(and so on)
How is telling someone to cut a family member out of their life helpful? Realistically, it's not even possible for some people. Sometimes you have to deal with shitty humans. That's life. You have to do it at work, you have to do it in reality.
i dont have a horse in the race regarding this discussion you guys are having but people that have been in more precarious positions than you have wholesale stripped awful family members out of their lives. its not a new idea.
Obviously you can do as you wish but to pretend that LGBT people of all classes dont do this or are some kind antisocial pariahs for doing it just doesnt sit right. If you dont want to do so, then say you dont want to do it. You dont have to put on a tough guy act about how youre a supersmart person that lets your bigoted uncle jack off into your ear with his awful views in the name of civility or something.
Sometimes, but not always. You need to work, so that's a case of having to. You don't always need to associate with family if it is a toxic relationship.
No. You're wrong. Cut everyone out that disagrees with you. They're too toxic. Don't live in reality where uneducated and mentally ill people fall for con-men like Trump.
Sadly, this narrative is strong on this forum. If you don't live in California or New York, you don't count.
If this individual wasn't your uncle, would you still interact with him or invite him to your home? You said he was yelling at you.
You might have all of the free time and mental fortitude to deal with this and even try to educate him, but I doubt many are as blessed.
I'm not saying you should move from a red state (if you live in one) or avoid MAGA supporters completely. But to keep them at arms length and giving access to your personal space/treating them like family can be unhealthy.
