Republicans still lack an ACA replacement. Their war on healthcare will cost them the 2026 election. Red-state voters rely on Obamacare. Republicans attack on it is political self-destruction.

The tRump destruction train is currently destroying ALL of us, not just his"base".
On edit:
I just watched Thom Hartman on the Stephanie Miller podcast and he said what I just wrote almost word for word.
Even if his "base" wakes up to their own selfish, personal desires it is already too late to derail it. The GOP is going full steam ahead and too many of us are going to go bankrupt and die before it can be derailed.
I am a realist. I have been warning everyone for years and years. Two months from now is 2026. We ARE being destroyed right now. We won't make it to a 2028 election. Too many of us will already be dead as a result of the GOP's 40 year old agenda.
