"TrumpCare...Because LIFE is a Pre-Existing Condition." Trump's concept of a plan is deceptive and dangerous. [View all]

I think we have to accept one thing...whether they wanted cheap eggs or mass deportations of brown people or thought Trump did a great job handling the pandemic in his first term ( ), one thing's for sure....I don't think that all 77,284,118 of the Americans who voted for him are gifted in "critical thinking" or "awareness." I don't know. I don't have time to "look into the souls" of 77,284,118 people. I know Trump's a con man, I know he targets the weak and ignorant and gullible, and that there are some of those people in the demographic that re-elected him, and that they are all not card-carrying MENSA members.

I DO KNOW that the Republican fetish for "health savings accounts" that "allow people to purchase their own healthcare" has been touted before, and it ultimately never gained traction because:

1). It puts people right back into the realm of pre-existing conditions
2). People would spend a lot of money, only to find out that they had poor coverage (or NO converage) when it came to many ailments
3). The BIG BENEFICIARIES are healthcare lobbyists and Trump donors. He's selling it as "TAKING THE MONEY AWAY FROM THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY and PUTTING IT THE HANDS of AMERICANS," but if they TAKE that money and GO to the Healthcare Industry to BUY coverage, well...you see what I mean.

This is ALL SAINT RONNIE THE GIPPPER, your patron saint and mine, Zombie Reagan, and his "Welfare Queen" HATRED of working class and poor Americans coming back to center stage.

We say it here 100 times a day in 100 different ways but we all come back to the same conclusion.

Republicans believe that billionaires MUST be given as much cash as POSSIBLE, and that it is a SHAMEFUL act to give a man a FISH if he has a fucking FISHING POLE in his garage and can catch one himself. Elon Musk should NEVER have to go anywhere NEAR a body of water for his meals. The fish should be caught, boned, cleaned, and delightfully pan-fried for him with olive oil and capers and brought to his table, because what part of SERVANTS ARE HERE TO SERVE do you not understand?

And the 77,284,118 Americans just hear "PRESIDENT TRUMP IS GOING TO SEND US A CHECK!" and their keen, razor sharp minds go NO FURTHER THAN THAT.
