I have some strong advice for Democrats

Find out the actual date when Medicare cuts go into effect, and MAKE IT FAMOUS.
This is defense against Democrats catching the blame.

That is the actual date for medicaid and snap...
conveniently after the 2026 elections,
but before the 2028 elections....


FACT POINT: the original House bill called for 2029,
but members of the far-right GOP "Freedom Causus"
said that 2029 wasn't soon enough to cut off all those 'freeloaders'
from medicaid and snap--- so the date was changed to DECEMBER 31, 2026
in the bill that the GQP House finally passed...

so the date wasn't selected originally just to avoid fallout in the 2026 midterms,
but in the 2028 presidential election as WELL....
but those far-right "freedom caucus" Republicans
were too impatient for poor people to DIE,
so here were are.


Happy late night fourth of July

One big shitload of simple memes and quotations.
Large attributions for fact checking.

TV ads don't have the same impact as being stuck in traffic with no choice but to look at the signs.
That's controlling the message.
