Yup these are the bad guys. Yes we do want to defeat them handily on election day. No this is not hyperbole these people really do want to round people they hate into camps and kill them (white male christian nationalist/ethnostate/fascist types). Yes it is a tragedy that this election is somehow close!

if you are still somehow undecided on this election its time for you to wake up and make a decision. To not do so is at our own peril! Don’t be surprised when you see that one friend or loved one in your life hauled away to camps!

we will win though! We will stop them!

idc how this looks this is the absolute truth, if you here don’t want a repeat of the third reich in our country make sure these people lose badly at the ballot box!

if you still support Trump or the maga movement i dare you to answer and tell me. I will block you immediately. You are the enemy! Idc how this looks either. This is literally life or death!

The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, was enacted in 2010, but 10 states have NOT expanded Medicaid, the federal-state program that provides health care for low-income people - NOT Medicare for those over 65. They are Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin and Wyoming. Some conservative states only participated because citizen ballot initiatives overruled their legislatures in Idaho, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Utah. Some "red" states who did expand coverage also enacted conditional work requirements too.

Medicaid is the third largest mandatory program in the federal budget, accounting for 9% of federal spending in 2022, and represents almost 20% of state budgets, on average.

Medicaid, and the expansion opportunity, are paid by the federal at 90% & states at 10%. Nearly 1 of every 5 uninsured working-age adults across the 10 states that have not expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act are, according to a new analysis, stuck in a health care limbo known as a “coverage gap.” That means they earn too much money to receive Medicaid but not enough to qualify for financial help to purchase their own plan on the marketplace.

They are all people with incomes below the federal poverty level, and yet they have no financial assistance or coverage. The analysis also found that more than 60% of those who fall into this gap are people of color: Latino people account for 35%, Black residents account for 24%, and Asian people account for 2%.

These 10 states do not receive the enhanced federal funding for Medicaid expansion (ie, 90% of costs covered by the federal government) because states are required to fully expand Medicaid to 138% of the poverty level in order to qualify for the enhanced federal funding which would capture a larger share of those in the "coverage limbo".

The health outcomes are, of course, entirely predictable & horrific with unnecessary deaths & no preventive care.

You can't deter, fight, negotiate or not open the door for death. Your time is up. What's your response or attitude?

Everything held together decently well until around 2008. After that, it seemed like everything was a death spiral from there.

The whole "Politically Correct/PC Police" and "Social Justice Warrior" movements became obnoxious during the Obama era. Censorship and social engineering was running rampant. The race card became the norm when opposing leftist policies. Identifty politics was a weapon often used. This is around the time my family split due to political differences. Holiday and family vacations seized during this time. Socialism became the dreaded and heated topic in the US. My father lost his job and was unemployed for 6 months during this time, causing immense fear of losing everything. This is the time when my immediate family fell apart. This was a terrible time.

The Trump era became a glimpse of hope and some normalcy began to return, but the biased and aggressive media was mercilessly attacking Trump at every angle. Meanwhile the economy was looking more optimistic and the social atmosphere was beginning to improve, then the COVID era struck during Trump's last year in office, placing the nation in a near standstill.

Then, the terror resumed under the Biden Administration and we saw a return of the Obama era disasters that plagued this nation once again.

I don't believe Trump quite fixed the extensive damage under Obama, but there were improvements that brought about hope. I don't know if the US will return to pre-Obama normalcy, but this death spiral needs to stop and fast before we are in an all-out civil war.
