Notice how Scott, Graham and GQP use the word “Sunset” to end Social Security. Sunsets are beautiful and so calming. Sounds pretty good to idiots that breath in and thrive off of GQP bullshit.
When what they really want to do is kill hundreds of thousand’s of seniors and disabled citizens on SSDI. It’s “slaughter”, nothing like “Sunsets”. We need to speak in very descriptive terminology when telling voters what Pro Life and Sunsetting SS and Medicare does. Killing Americans. End health care, bankrupt retirees, kill women, allow and encourage climate catastrophes, allow deadly diseases, send others to war without care when they return, overprice life saving drugs, poison food, water, and air, unregulate carcinogen emissions, guns for all, and Like Boebert said, “killing is Legal”, cost of freedom, and we can go on. They do not care who they Kill. Period. Even their own cult. Kill, kill, kill, but pray pray pray. Actually should be Prey Prey Prey.
Sunsetting SS will kill and destroy lives. They just want the 2+ trillion trust fund for gambling.
How the hell we can’t smother GQP in November is unbelievable, but so is the level of lack of intelligence in AmurKKKa.
They want to Sunset democracy and this country. Sounds pretty and colorful and soothing.

And this would seem like a good thing, and it will be in some respects. But one possible negative is that Republicans are going to try to destroy Social Security and Medicare now since they don't care about the demographic who relies on them voting for them anymore.

Social Security has been the 3rd rail for a long time, if that rail no longer matters to Republicans they'll gut it the first chance they get.

I did not look at it that way. If they have lost them, and do not need or care about votes with the ability to trash electors, why not be so open about killing SS? A wet dream longer than banning abortion. Gotta hope the lose of senior voters will hurt GQP, but if votes no longer matter, we are fucked.
Think of how many spouses died from Covid and left surviving spouses with kids. SS pays a lot to surviving spouses to help raise those children. But again, those are post womb kids, the hell with them.
