MAGA followers, are you aware that the Project25 BBB will result in over 70% of the victims of tax credits for health care, are in Republican states?

It's comedy gold that the very people most affected chose this cult leader to instil theocratic rule over the wealthiest most militarised nation in the world.

Is this a shot in the foot or nuts?

"Project 25" is not an active law or policy. It is the product of a think tank. It has no more power and authority than the 2024 Democrat DNC Platform.

Do you agree with everything in it? Just because "somebody says something", are you accountable for it?
In my view, assumption of the DNC platform would end Western Civilisation and that would be a real shot in the foot or nuts?

It's like this...

Tariffs, due process, taxes, etc...

Good, perhaps those people wwill learn that voting has consequences, and when you vote for the "tough guy" he is likely to get "tough" with you.

This of course assumes that people who vote for Trump are neurologically capable of learning, which given the genetic deficits and pervasive substance and alcohol use, is a very dubious assumption at best.

Some people never learn because they literally cannot learn.

i could tell him to not eat that dog turd, but he'd do it because i said not to. he's the opposite of what we voted for.

[Sevenpointfive]

i also a bit scared of the primaries. that's going to change everything. it's going to break the system entirely!!!

They may be in Republican states but are in the cities which are democrat.

[msc545]

Horseshit.

[exitseven]

@msc545 prove it.

[msc545]

Nope - YOU asserted it, you need to prove it or retract it.

Most states are republican. Most counties are republican. Most people are republican. The people affected are blue cities.

[goaded]

True, true, false. Try to work out where you went wrong. (Hint: in Texas there's one county with 50 population, another with 5,000,000.)

[qwerty2469]

I live in Texas. There are 254 counties. Only 12 are Democrat.
Bexar (San Antonio)
Dallas
El Paso
Fort Bend (part of Houston metro area)
Harris (Houston)
Hays (San Marcos)
Travis (Austin)
Guess where you dont want to live.

[goaded]

Counties don't vote, people do. Pretending Loving County (population 48) is the same as Harris County (population over 5 million) is just a sad joke.

What's the population of those 12 counties? What's the population of Texas?

Bexar (San Antonio) 2,127,737
Dallas 2,656,028
El Paso 875,784
Fort Bend (part of Houston metro area) 958,434
Harris (Houston) 5,009,302
Hays (San Marcos) 292,029
Travis (Austin) 1,363,767

By eye, about 13 million people, out of 31 million in Texas. Where wouldn't I like to live? Pretty much anywhere else in Texas, for sure. That said, like everywhere else, violent crime has halved since I was your age.

It’s time we stop hiding what a sham the ACA is.
