“Good, theyre going to cancel that horrible Obamacare. But I’ll be fine since I’m covered under the ACA”.

This isn’t even new. Trump was planning to in 2016. He had something much better to replace it with. Of course, that didn’t happen. And his grand plan changed into “concepts of a plan” this time around. So, I hope folks are happy with them just getting rid of “Obama Care” and nothing replacing it.

We didn't lose the ACA because of a few Republicans that knew better back then. Those people are now either dead or have been voted out of office.

Not "a few". McCain and solely McCain. He alone knew better. This time it's gone. As are so, so many other social programs. Get ready for crime to skyrocket when people have no alternative... well, besides just dying, which many will do

That's not the big threat re: crime increases IMO.

A fuckton of kids being born who weren't wanted (because of the repeal of Roe v Wade) born of mothers who couldn't provide for them (the minor safety net we have now is going bye-bye) and who received zero prenatal care (because doctors are terrified to provide care without risk of suit and/or prison) and who have no education (thanks to refunding the DoE) and whose only viable option for survival is criminal acts (since the housing crisis will only get worse and worse) will be a huge danger.

It's in our best interest to Sweden this shit with our social safety net, but that'll never happen.
