Summary

A new poll found that 71% of Trump voters oppose Medicaid cuts, while 82% of all voters reject them. Additionally, 60% of Trump voters said cutting food and nutrition programs is unacceptable.

Medicaid has become a key issue as House Republicans push for up to $2 trillion in budget cuts to advance Trump’s legislative agenda.

Their resolution directs the House Energy and Commerce Committee to find at least $880 billion in cuts.

This raises concerns that Medicaid, which covers 70 million people—mostly low-income and children—could be targeted despite GOP leaders downplaying benefit reductions.

    He hates the same people they hate, and they’re willing to get hurt as long as those people are, too.

      maybe, i’m not sure. but those stats up there suggest maybe they are not willing to sacrifice themselves after all. i hope we can help them understand that society doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game, which is what i think many of them have believed.

      “He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting” said dumbfuck malignant Trump voter the last time around before doing the exact same thing again. They for sure care about pain, but they love the pain of others more than they’ll ever remember who caused their own.
