Since so many rural areas are ruby red, the FAFA is gonna be a shock.

Most will survive if barely - for at least a few more years. Some, honestly, should have been turned into freestanding ER, clinics decades ago.
Hospitals have closed every year for at least last 40 years. Hopefully, and I believe it will happen, decent states will develop better ways of handling rural healthcare. But, a gradual, planned way of doing that should have been in the BBB.

along because vast many of tax aspects are little different from trumps term and those cuts continued through Bidens term and are now extended. Debt and Deficits will continue rising though.
The biggest group that gets hurt are those who GOPers think should work, volunteer, go to school, or something. Immigrants will be treated even worse than they have been.
Government wont collapse, but it wont be doing what it should. A Democratic win in midterms would be a huge change.
Some states will increase funding for SNAP, some rube states wont give a chit.

One in a blue suburb and one in a blue city. They're all nervous about what this horrible travesty of a bill will mean for their patients and their staffs.
Those who voted for Trump deserve to be devastated by what they voted for. No one should believe their crocodile tears and lies that they didn't know he'd do exactly what he's doing. They were warned time and time again, but turned a deaf ear and called us "woke." I just feel sorry for all of us who voted for Harris, those who weren't eligible to vote like children, and those too ill to make it to the polls. None of us deserve this hell.

It is still going to get very messy though , really ugly- because the crazy billionaires still want to take over the country, as does Project 2025, but Trump isnt getting any more true believers.
