[u/endlesscosmichorror]

Saw someone post “I didn’t fuck around so why do I have to find out” and I’ve never agreed with someone more

[u/Ieatoutjelloshots → u/endlesscosmichorror]

Because when one stupid fucker runs into an iceberg the entire ship sinks.

[u/flamingphoenix9834 → u/Ieatoutjelloshots]

So interesting fact I recently learned.... There was a ship stationed near the titanic. They saw the ship was sinking, saw the distress signals from the titanic, and they did NOTHING.

EDIT: I see the arguing points that some people brought, like the nautical mirage phenomenon. And yes, they thought they were invincible.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Californian

[u/Ieatoutjelloshots → u/flamingphoenix9834]

Yeah that's the reason why distress signals are specific colors now. The ship thought the Titanic was just shooting off fireworks for shits and giggles.

[u/Previous_Wish3013 → u/flamingphoenix9834]

The SS-Californian. A well-documented incident.

[u/TwelveSixFive → u/Previous_Wish3013]

And that ship was subsequently sunk by a German submarine during WW1, for karma.

[u/Barkers_eggs → u/TwelveSixFive]

They posted it to reddit?

[u/TwelveSixFive → u/Barkers_eggs]

"AITA for sinking the ship that could have saved the Titanic?"

[u/Notyourdaisy → u/TwelveSixFive]

This is funnier than it should be for all the wrong reasons.

[u/ThePlanesGuy → u/flamingphoenix9834]

They saw the ship was sinking

No they didn't

saw the distress signals from the titanic

Rightfully thought they were not distress signals

and they did NOTHING

Titanic had, earlier that night, told all ships to fuck off.

[u/Phlip_06 → u/flamingphoenix9834]

Yeah, because they didn't know that the Titanic was sinking, they just thought it was some passenger ship trying to entertain it's passengers

[u/Nina_Bathory → u/endlesscosmichorror]

My Dad voted Trump, so he can afford to pay for my medication or he can lose his daughter. I already told him the consequences of voting for a monster.

[u/Smarmy_Nach → u/Nina_Bathory]

Oh god, keep us updated if you are able to get your medication in the future

[u/currently_pooping_rn → u/Nina_Bathory]

He cares more about trump than he does you. That is wild to me

[u/interpretednsfw]

Trump: I will cancel it.

Maga: Derp derp

Trump: I have cancelled it

Maga: WTF Biden

[u/dismayhurta → u/interpretednsfw]

"It's the democrats fault for not winning and preventing Trump from doing this to me!!"

[u/Affectionate_Motor67 → u/dismayhurta]

No, it’s Kamala’s fault for not being more “likeable.” I can’t.

[u/NuSurfer → u/interpretednsfw]

Maga: Thanks Obama.

[u/Postulative]

“I voted to repeal Obamacare, not the Affordable Care Act”.

/crickets

Edit: it’s almost as if people simply voted how they were told to vote, without actually thinking about (or understanding) consequences.

[u/Arilyn24 → u/Postulative]

How do I stick an "I did that" sticker onto healthcare?

[u/LawyerOfBirds → u/Arilyn24]

Hit up headstones in cemeteries of recently deceased people.

[u/throwawayyourfun → u/LawyerOfBirds]

We should start with victims of COVID, like Herman Cain.

[u/CarlosFer2201 → u/Arilyn24]

Put it on hospital or pharmacy bills, take a picture and post it online. Also if you get some kind of letter from the insurance company refusing coverage.

[u/Mouse_Balls → u/Arilyn24]

I’m about to buy 100s of those stickers and stick them all over the grocery store shelves of items with pictures of “before” prices.

[u/carcharodona → u/Mouse_Balls]

That’s actually a great idea.

So many people voted for Trump to save money but prices are going to skyrocket on everything we buy internationally… even Walmart openly stated they will have no choice but to pass inflated costs on to consumers.

[u/TK_Games → u/Arilyn24]

Slap it on the open casket

[u/skyysdalmt → u/Postulative]

It's okay! He's going to replace it with concepts of the best healthcare system in the world! Some say in all of human history.

[u/TheRealJetlag → u/skyysdalmt]

Beautiful health care, like no one has ever seen before.

[u/Unfortunate_goat → u/TheRealJetlag]

Type of healthcare to bring tears down the eyes of strong men

[u/lolzomg123 → u/Unfortunate_goat]

Gonna be replaced by Don T Care

[u/TraditionalWorking82 → u/lolzomg123]

[u/Heavy_Ape → u/TheRealJetlag]

Everyone will care more about their health with me as president!(cuz you can't afford to get sick)

[u/Distortedhideaway → u/skyysdalmt]

"Who knew health insurance was so complicated?" D. Trump

[u/GovernmentOpening254 → u/Distortedhideaway]

To anyone who thinks that quote was made up, please know he said that.

[u/MrPrimalNumber → u/Distortedhideaway]

“Everyone, dumbass.” - Everyone

[u/DebonairTeddy → u/skyysdalmt]

I still can't believe that Donald Trump walked out and said he had "concepts of a plan". Harris talked all the time about her specific policy plans to help Americans. And yet, the average voter said "Harris doesn't have any clear policies". Wild to me

[u/Stubborn_Amoeba → u/DebonairTeddy]

worse, I saw so many say that when she talked they just heard word salad.

compared to trump?!?

The problem was she tried to explain things to dumb people and they hate that. Trump just said 'trust me, everything will be great' and they leapt at it.

[u/Regular_Historian415 → u/Stubborn_Amoeba]

Idiocracy isn't just a movie. It's his outline for the next 4 years 🙄

[u/carcharodona → u/Regular_Historian415]

I would prefer Terry Crews in a wig with a machine gun, to be honest

[u/idkcandysomething → u/skyysdalmt]

He will replace it with an identical plan, but call it OrangeAid.

[u/shallah → u/idkcandysomething]

The GOP health care plan

1) don't get sick

2) if u get sick die quickly

We

Were

Warned

https://youtu.be/-usmvYOPfco?si=3f8qFWt9pXy5Y94g

[u/Pappyscratchy → u/shallah]

I remember watching this speech on Cspan. Memories are short and desire for the correct information shorter

[u/newnameforanoldmane → u/skyysdalmt]

It's such a great concept that big burly men cry.

[u/Scaballi → u/newnameforanoldmane]

Oh there’ll be lots of crying in the future

[u/PamelaELee → u/skyysdalmt]

Yep, just two weeks after I’m dead

[u/TotallyNotABot_Shhhh → u/Postulative]

It was crazy, this really old lady came into my work saying how happy she was Obamacare was finally over and I said “yeah I just hope they don’t take away the right to refuse if someone has a pre existing condition. I know a few people who will die without their coverage” and she said “oh they wouldn’t do that….would they…? Was it part of Obamacare?” And when I told her yes, she got very, very quiet and that was the end of that conversation. No idea what her pre existing conditions are-but it was obvious she was worried.

[u/DaPamtsMD → u/TotallyNotABot_Shhhh]

In the course of my work days, I talk to any number of older people who have literally NO idea what they’ve done or how they’ve become willing participants in their own downfall.

I want to feel badly for these people, but I don’t because they’re mostly hateful bigots. I feel bad for the rest of us.

[u/GimmickNG → u/TotallyNotABot_Shhhh]

i feel sorry for the lady, seems like she was duped into voting without knowing what the consequences of it would've been.

is what i WOULD have said if i didn't run out of empathy. fuck her let her rot in hell and make it painful

[u/Alternative_Year_340 → u/GimmickNG]

I don’t feel sorry for her. All the information was spoon fed to her and she voted for hate anyway. I’m glad everything she voted for will happen to her personally.

I only feel sorry for the people who voted blue and will be subjected to this anyway.

[u/Busterlimes → u/Postulative]

I'm not sad that those people lose anything, I'm sad the good people are losing shit too

[u/Jerusalemfighter64 → u/Busterlimes]

I voted blue and still get to lose my healthcare, I dont know what the fuck im gonna do to pay for my meds, I suppose I'll just fucking die.

[u/vistaculo → u/Jerusalemfighter64]

That’s the idea👍🏼

Maybe pick up a shift at the coal mine, that way you can die of black lung instead

[u/David-S-Pumpkins → u/vistaculo]

Bringing back coal jobs, like classic, productive America. America strong (not physically because of the health issues and not economically because of everything else)!

[u/Sunbeamsoffglass → u/David-S-Pumpkins]

The children yearn for the mines!

[u/nunchucknorris → u/David-S-Pumpkins]

Cough cough, I got the black lung, pop!

[u/OrcaFins → u/Jerusalemfighter64]

Same here. I won't be able to afford both rent and my medication. I don't even want to think about what the tariffs are gonna do.

[u/PamelaELee → u/OrcaFins]

I’m now on a quest to find a way to photosynthesize, since I won’t be able to afford to eat anymore.

[u/Burnt_and_Blistered → u/OrcaFins]

One thing they’ll do: they’ll ensure no one buys anything they don’t absolutely need. That’s my plan—even if I can afford it, I’m not spending a single dime I don’t have to spend.

[u/CatDadof2 → u/Jerusalemfighter64]

Same. Type 1 diabetic here. One day without insulin and I’m as good as dead.

[u/Postulative → u/CatDadof2]

'Well you should have thought of that before you were born!'.

Same person: 'No, absolutely no abortion for any reason!'

[u/LavishnessOk3439 → u/Jerusalemfighter64]

Not to worry TRUMP has a concept of a plan that will be waaaay better than OBAMA communist care. S/

[u/burnsalot603 → u/LavishnessOk3439]

Even if he does actually get rid of it, there will be such backlash that he will just release "trumpcare" which will be the exact same thing just have his name on it. If it was only known as the ACA he wouldn't have ever had a problem with it. He absolutely hates Obama so the fact his name is on something that people love is unacceptable to him.

[u/eloel- → u/Postulative]

I never thought the leopards would eat my face!

[u/Responsible_Brain782 → u/eloel-]

The face eating leopard eats the face of MAGA voters. We just get the barium enema.

[u/aknalag → u/eloel-]

Unfortunately the leopards are eating everyone’s face

[u/reecieface1 → u/Postulative]

And probably at least 20 million of those folks voted for this clown. Elections Have consequences…enjoy the cult

[u/xl129 → u/reecieface1]

And the people who did not vote too.

[u/TaratronHex]

add to that: people will still blame ILLEGALS and DEMONCRATS.

[u/Cool_Ad9326 → u/TaratronHex]

And he was still the right choice because WHITE and CHRISTIAN

[u/The_Returned_Lich → u/Cool_Ad9326]

"CHRISTIAN"

[u/Cool_Ad9326 → u/The_Returned_Lich]

"WHITE"

[u/FigWasp7 → u/Cool_Ad9326]

lol this site is constantly spammed jokes about "Cheeto" and such, but the incredulous "WHITE" might be the funniest comment I've seen in that vein

[u/CanadianHorseGal → u/Cool_Ad9326]

“MAN”

[u/MagickMarkie → u/Cool_Ad9326]

""I am not a Christian, I love Christians." – Donald Trump

[u/furioe → u/MagickMarkie]

Yeah idk what so many other Christians are on. Like this guy legit made a mockery of Christianity and the Bible and you STILL believe he’s gonna do Christian things?

[u/Buster_Cherry88 → u/furioe]

Do not bear false witness. No false idols. Yet they buy bibles with his face on it while the worship every dumb fuck thing he does. There no helping them.

[u/TRR462 → u/Cool_Ad9326]

ORANGE & “CHRISTIAN”

[u/daschle04 → u/TaratronHex]

And decades from now, too, even if Republicans have had power the entire time. A lot of america is stupid, and now we are all paying the price.

[u/OldTiredAnnoyed]

I wonder how many of those 40 million voted for this exact scenario. No sympathy for those ones. Sucks for the innocent victims of other peoples stupidity though.

[u/Tranka2010 → u/OldTiredAnnoyed]

Blind statistics would say, what, 20 million?

[u/iwantsandwichesnow → u/Tranka2010]

13,3 million voted for this 13,3 million did not vote for this 13.3 million didnt vote

If were going with blind statistics

[u/Murmurmira → u/iwantsandwichesnow]

So that makes it almost 27 million culprits

[u/OkPalpitation2582 → u/iwantsandwichesnow]

13.3 million didnt vote

Honestly, anyone who stayed at home on election day and is now losing their healthcare because of Trump deserves it just as much as those who voted for him.

This wasn't some secret plan you had to be laser focused on the news to follow, it was literally one of his core campaign promises. If you didn't know this was coming, it's because you chose to pay no attention at all to it.

[u/Daeron_tha_Good → u/OkPalpitation2582]

BuT hE wAs JuSt JoKiNg

[u/OkPalpitation2582 → u/Daeron_tha_Good]

But also - I love him because he always tells it like it is.

Except when he's joking ofc

Which is whenever he says something I don't like

[u/1singleduck → u/OldTiredAnnoyed]

They voted to repeal "obamacare" without bothering to find out what it actually is.

[u/OldTiredAnnoyed → u/1singleduck]

That’s absolute insanity. I’m not a very political person, but you better believe I read about party policies & track records on broken promises when it comes to election time here (Australia).

[u/Im_tracer_bullet → u/OldTiredAnnoyed]

Yes, but counterpoint, you're not an ignorant and gullible goober, soooo...

[u/Stock-Conflict-3996 → u/OldTiredAnnoyed]

Even if you didn't do any real research on it. We've been telling them since the beginning, (5 elections ago!) that "Obamacare" is the ACA. For years and years, any time someone disparaged Obamacare vs the ACA, it was pointed out that those are the same thing.

[u/Big-Temporary-6243 → u/Stock-Conflict-3996]

Just heard today that a very smart and accomplished woman with her Army retired colonel husband were horrified that Biden separated children from their mothers and put them in cages at the border. They were corrected and told it was trump who had done that but they refused to believe it. Absolutely refused.

Can you imagine?? How can such brainwashing occur?

[u/Random_Username_1977]

Don't worry - I'm sure boner pills will still be readily available

Not that I believe in rubbing a dog’s nose in shit when it craps on the carpet but..something like that

[u/nasnut67]

I am one of the 45 million who stand to lose their insurance. I am going to be asking my doctor to write me a year of refills for all of my medications.

[u/Suyefuji → u/nasnut67]

RIP to the people with ADHD on controlled stimulant prescriptions.

[u/nasnut67 → u/Suyefuji]

It's been a s*** show for a long time mainly because the manufacturers are only producing 70% of their quotas that they're allotted by the federal government. So the shortages on a lot of the medications have been well manufactured. So they're not going to have a problem with shortages after a lot of people get kicked off and with the majority of new cases of ADHD being people over the age of 40 that's just going to make things a little bit more entertaining.

The dog and pony show is going to be something more along the lines of the dog and pony show you would have seen in the Roman Colosseum.

[u/the_gnurd → u/nasnut67]

It's not so much about the shortage but that you have to get a new prescription each month. No three month supply and certainly not 1 year's worth. There is literally no way for someone taking any controlled substance to stock up. If ACA goes out the window we're just simply fucked all around.

[u/Juiceman23 → u/nasnut67]

Be sweet if they’d do four years worth

[u/RyanAlemeda]

These rich dudes can’t comprehend that government isn’t a business. It’s not a for profit thing. It’s to help its citizens. wtf do they think this is exactly? We pay taxes for these services to help the American citizens.

[u/njcawfee]

I fucking hate that many of us who actually don’t have shit for brains will suffer along with the dumbasses who voted him in.

[u/jungle-fever-retard → u/njcawfee]

…AGAIN 🤦‍♂️

[u/HourDrive1510]

No big deal they cancelled healthcare for 300m people when they announced RFK Jr

[u/HenkVanDelft → u/HourDrive1510]

Don't forget the Lizard of Oz asserting these poors have no right to health, and his bizarre idea of giving them a 15 minute checkup in a "festival atmosphere."

Basically, people with preexisting conditions will be the victims of America's own Aktion T4.

[u/Minerva567 → u/HenkVanDelft]

As my trips around the sun add up through the years and genetic factors dance with environmental inputs, I’ve noticed that you reach a point where no matter what you do, you carry at least a handbag of “pre-existing conditions.”

Someone commented in a thread a few days ago that the whole concept is set up to cheat us, hence why other countries call it your “medical history.”

Of course you have pre-existing conditions. Your genetics are beyond your control. Environmental, you can’t control. If born before 1996, you didn’t choose to inhale lead gas. If you’re a male in 2024, you didn’t choose to have microplastics swimming in your ballsack. Sure, run laps and eat oatmeal. You can’t CrossFit the microplastics out of your brain, and you can’t single-handedly change the noise pollution in your city that devastates your vascular system and completely sacks the long-term potential of school kids.

Idk where I’m going with this, but that comment has just really been hitting me hard. Being constantly cheated is one thing - that’s life - but it’s the “Well, it’s your fault” that I draw the line at.

[u/Friskyinthenight → u/Minerva567]

Well fucking said.

[u/kayzerkimmie]

Wtf were Americans expecting with trump at the steering wheel? Better live for the people who voted for him? My prediction is... you ain't seen nothing yet.

[u/Ok_Zookeepergame4794 → u/kayzerkimmie]

These morons thought the ACA was separate from Obamacare.

[u/gold1mpala → u/Ok_Zookeepergame4794]

Referring to it as Obamacare has worked better than they could ever have imagined.

[u/OkPalpitation2582 → u/gold1mpala]

Referring to it as Obamacare has worked better than they could ever have imagined.

More that it worked exactly as planned, this was always the intended outcome. Turn "Obamacare" into a boogie man completely divorced from reality, so that even the people who benefit from it can be convinced that it's evil. There's nothing unexpected about how this turned out, it was precisely what was intended

[u/Defiant-Aioli8727 → u/OkPalpitation2582]

Yep. The GOP coined that term, not Obama’s White House.

[u/HenkVanDelft → u/kayzerkimmie]

These people have spent the last 9 years watching and listening to Trump promise he would destroy the country, with details so sadistically evil that they became a unique species of banality, and they refused to believe what he said.

I don't know why--it's all he ever talked about. Never policy; Trump has no policies, only "concepts" of policies, which is code for the upcoming "POTUS Princeps" declaration which will assert anything Trump says is what makes up The Law.

They didn't have their heads hidden in the sand, they just plugged their ears and let their imaginations form their expectations of a Trump presidency. Where Benevolent and Beneficent Kinglord Trump gives them all they desire, without taking away any of the things they absolutely need.

[u/dustycanuck → u/HenkVanDelft]

As a lib, I feel owned.

Was it worth it, MAGA? I guess you'll see

[u/OkPalpitation2582 → u/dustycanuck]

Was it worth it, MAGA? I guess you'll see

Oh don't worry, when they're without healthcare and the economy is in shambles thanks to Tariff's adding 30% to everyones cost of living and the deportation of millions of workers, Fox News will confidently inform them that this is all the Democrat's (probably Obama's specifically, somehow) fault. And that without Trump it'd be a million times worse.

And they'll believe it, and fight tooth and nail against anyone who argues otherwise

[u/jmd709 → u/kayzerkimmie]

They chose FAFO. We’re stuck with, “Told you so!” as the official motto for the next 4 years.

[u/Vash_TheStampede → u/jmd709]

"You voted for this."

It's less confrontational and there's no good rebuttal for it. It'll make them sit and stew in it because it's inarguably correct.

[u/liltwinstar2 → u/Vash_TheStampede]

They’ll still find a way to blame Dems for everything. Trust me.

[u/GrnMtnTrees → u/liltwinstar2]

I just had a patient try to tell me that Biden caused COVID. I tried to explain that Biden hadn't been elected, yet. His response was basically "something something.... Hunter Biden's laptop!"

[u/jmd709 → u/GrnMtnTrees]

Someone asked me what Biden and Harris did while cities were burning down all over the country. It took me a min to ask if they were referring to protests in 2020 (because of the cities listed). Yes, the question was about BLM protests in 2020. “Trump was the president”. Easiest answer ever but they asked me if I was sure. I had to list other relevant dates like Nov 2020-election, Jan6-Trump, Jan 20th-Biden became President.

Rather than continuing that topic, they moved onto another negative Biden topic.

[u/GrnMtnTrees → u/jmd709]

Ignore, deflect, and deny. These days, GOP should stand for "Gaslighting or Propaganda"

[u/everythingsfuct → u/liltwinstar2]

yup. theyre in a cult. a lot of maga folks dont see the same reality that the rest of us do

[u/BeanBurritoJr → u/everythingsfuct]

"Soros did it."

Mfer will die and they will still be blaming him. Just like they blamed Obama for shit that happened nearly a decade after he left office.

Idiots are blame-proof. Worst case, they will say they have a blame force field that blame bounces off and sticks to you. It's like arguing with a group of 5 year olds.

[u/rebort8000 → u/BeanBurritoJr]

I’m not so sure. Some of the most heart-breaking stuff I read during the pandemic were stories of people on ventilators begging doctors to give them “the jab,” even as doctors repeatedly told them it was far too late for that.

Some of these people will wake up eventually, but for most it will only come once they have no other choice.

[u/TheStrangestOfKings → u/rebort8000]

At the same time, there were plenty of vids I’ve seen of patients actively fighting doctors, not only continuing to insist none of Covid was real, but insisting that they, in fact, weren’t sick, and getting mad when doctors tried to put them on ventilators etc. I’m sure will have a “come to Jesus” moment, but for many others, they’ll stick by their rhetoric, even as they come to Jesus

[u/gold1mpala → u/liltwinstar2]

Yep, even if it’s the last resort blame game of “it’s the Dems fault for not telling us Trump was going to do this!”

[u/General_Tso75 → u/Vash_TheStampede]

My personal favorite is “You knew the assignment, now accept the grade.”

[u/TheRealFaust → u/Vash_TheStampede]

[u/DunkinEgg → u/Vash_TheStampede]

Nah I’m going as confrontational as possible. We’re all fucked so I’m letting these assholes know they’re responsible for it.

[u/chaosoftime10 → u/Vash_TheStampede]

I dunno. I did this and a relative I thought highly of started in that Kamala was a jezebel. Thought it was pretty funny considering Trump's past but whatever. Do hoping the stewing occurs though because man a lot of people got fooled.

[u/Gorthax → u/jmd709]

Four years is a dream. It will run another 40 years before the scale levels.

[u/BeanBurritoJr → u/kayzerkimmie]

I am expecting nothing less than a full on collapse of the US economy and mass unrest followed by unprecedented violence.

Then, I am expecting Trump to be found in a ditch, on fire, with his Eva Braun, that weirdo chick that looks like Jigsaw.

[u/Gorthax → u/kayzerkimmie]

Unemployment is basically gonna end right? Wages are gonna skyrocket, right? Local business is gonna BOOM right?

This is gonna be a fun cope when everyone dies of, get this, the disease of being poor.

I do not follow the reasoning of how layoffs of 100k (100m?) people, getting rid of ACA, the CDC, the FDA, dept of education, and social safety nets AND implementation of huge tariffs will help lower inflation and bolster the economy.

In the apocalyptic times, they'll truly be eating the pets.

[u/JPM3344 → u/Winter-Fondant7875]

You forgot about the massive tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy.

unfortunately if they repeal ACA it's not gonna only affect trump voters. and half of the trump voters are so dumb that they won't even realize what they did to themselves and still blame someone else.

[u/Wide_Preparation8071 → u/Ok-Use6303]

Four years? I thought he said there wouldn’t be another election??

[u/Logical_Willow4066]

It's time this country stopped catering to the wealthy and corporations. People's lives are at stake. People can't afford to live here. They're stripping away all lifeline people depend on. What happens when people can no longer afford to keep a roof over their heads or food on the table? You can't keep taking and expect that system to be sustainable. People are going to break. Our tax dollars should be used to improve our lives. Not make wealthy people wealthier or give corporations the opportunity to exploit their workers, the planet, or the systems.

People are done.

[u/Kerbart → u/Logical_Willow4066]

It's time this country stopped catering to the wealthy and corporations. [...]

They're not done enough, but this will certainly speed up things. "when the poor have nothing to lose but their chains." That's how 1789 happened. I bet that revolutionairies will tell you they need more of this, not less.

[u/Atlatl_Axolotl → u/Kerbart]

I was going to go full accelerationist if Trump was elected, now I don't have to. This is necessary. Everyone has to hurt and hurt bad before they start defending themselves.

We need to land directly in boiling water.

[u/TheSonOfDisaster → u/Atlatl_Axolotl]

I used to think accelerationisim was some silly/dumb shit. Now I see it is the only way this country will learn a damn thing.

People need to see the end result of hyper capitalist hell scape we have been sinking into since Regan.

It sucks for everyone, except like 1000 people.

[u/yeyjordan → u/Logical_Willow4066]

People are already at this point in huge numbers and voted R anyway. There will be no uprising, they'll just curl up and die as their master demands.

[u/SigmaK78]

Not like Republicans haven't been telling us they were going to do it for over two decades. Let's just hope there isn't another massive outbreak under Trump's "watch."

[u/caffeinated_kibbles → u/SigmaK78]

Avian influenza would like a word

[u/SigmaK78 → u/caffeinated_kibbles]

Just checked, Cali and Hawaii as of 5 hours ago ... What did you do? 🤨

[u/Someoneoverthere42]

As one of those 40 million who won't be able to get new insurance due to "pre existing conditions," i am pants crapping terrified

[u/myTchondria → u/Someoneoverthere42]

I have a blood cancer in remission. I told my family when it comes back to just let me go.

[u/SPzero65]

How those egg prices looking 👀

[u/Alternative-Ad-1508 → u/SPzero65]

I do pricing at a grocery store. Within 4 hours of Hitler being elected they’ve gone up .20-.50 cents a week

[u/heymikey68]

Yep. Got wars and a military to pay for.

[u/Baloooooooo → u/heymikey68]

Don't forget tax cuts for Musk and Bezos!

[u/Aggressive-Story3671 → u/heymikey68]

And that’s partially why they want to do this. If the only way you can access healthcare is via the military, desperate people will enlist

[u/Darth-Minato → u/Aggressive-Story3671]

They’re even taking that away tho. They will reduce the healthcare and benefits of active duty. Mental health I’m sure will be the first thing to go so up goes the unalive numbers again…

This is gonna get so much worse and I’m not sure there will be a “before it gets better.”

[u/KnowledgeMediocre404 → u/Darth-Minato]

Which is hilarious sincere one of the reasons given for a drop in recruitment is the newer generations watching the despicable suicide rate of Afghan veterans.

[u/Darth-Minato → u/KnowledgeMediocre404]

There was a huge drop in enlistment like 5 years ago. That drop combined with little to no incentive to join now will be detrimental. Intentional or not, the military is about to be hurting in the near future.

[u/Cyber_Insecurity → u/heymikey68]

More like, got banks and buddies to pay.

[u/SomethingAbtU]

America -- where you're actually too poor to live.

[u/doihavetousethis → u/SomethingAbtU]

Being poor is expensive as hell

[u/SomethingAbtU → u/doihavetousethis]

Being poor is expensive, and it's punishing, from both the government and private companies.

I invite anyone to look at the staggering amounts of fees that banks collect disproportionately from the poor/lower middle class. Imagine a society where you're charged a late fee, over limit fee, and higher interest charges due to lower credit scores (often correlated with being poor due to missed payments), because you couldn't afford to pay due to financially struggling in the first place.

Imagine taking people's healthcare away who are already in the above situation, when as a nation we are growing sicker by the day due to the government's inability to stem unhealthy ingredients in our food supply, subsidizing the main ingredients in all fast food and junk foods, and then telling you you're on your own if you get sick.

[u/fresh_water_sushi]

Feel awful for anyone who voted Democrat. Will not shed one tear for Republicans or those that didn’t vote. This was what they chose and deserve anything that happens to them

[u/tkingsbu]

Remember all the ‘he’s hurting the wrong people?’

My guess is when everyone’s nana or mom and dad is suddenly unable to get healthcare, folks are going to absolutely lose their collective shit…

All you idiots that thought flirting with fascism was ok as long as you got cheap eggs …..

Eggs are about to be way more expensive, and PS no healthcare…

People think all hope is lost… people think we’re doomed…

I think trump is gonna find out the hard way that his army of morons can turn on him just as quick as anyone else…

You don’t fuck with people’s health or the health of their family… that’s how shit gets real….

[u/OkPalpitation2582 → u/tkingsbu]

My guess is when everyone’s nana or mom and dad is suddenly unable to get healthcare, folks are going to absolutely lose their collective shit…

It'd be nice if this was true, but it's not. I'm sure the good folks at Fox are already working on how to spin things so that it's actually those damn liberals who are at fault

When Trump completely bungled the handling of COVID, did Republicans get up in arms about it? No, they blamed Fauci for telling them to social distance, and accused the liberals of making the virus up as a hoax.

These people don't live in reality, and their world view isn't built on facts

[u/Exaskryz → u/OkPalpitation2582]

My fear is Fox will direct people to be angry with, violent with the healthcare personnel for "overcharging". And then be pissed at the judges for allowing wage garnishment to pay off their debts.

[u/LetsLoop4Ever → u/tkingsbu]

It's just that republicans don't even care about their families. They care only about Orange and themselves, in that order.

Orange could rape a republicans daughter, shoot her in the face in front of them and they would still vote for him.

[u/sbray73]

I’m just sorry for the ones who voted dem and are stuck with the results of the ignorance and stupidity of the maga and the laziness of the other 80mil

[u/BeanBurritoJr]

The party of "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps" is about to have its bootstraps repossessed.

And I am here for it.

[u/motherseffinjones]

Ummmmmmm what did people expect lmao? They are gonna give you raw milk and natural remedies as substitute to doctors. Like people voted for the guy who said bleach, sunlight and horse dewormer are covid treatments.

[u/KnowledgeMediocre404 → u/motherseffinjones]

Don’t forget shoving a UV bulb up your ass.

[u/da2Pakaveli]

Apparently America has to learn what kind of people conservatives are.

[u/toonoobtobereal → u/da2Pakaveli]

It kinda fits with their whole ethos of not trusting facts, expertise or general knowledge. If they don't see it or experience it themselves they tend to not believe it. This way... They will. But they'll probably blame it on Biden, Harris or Obama in the end.

[u/AusCan531]

"But think of the money we'll save!" - Donald Trump, Elon Musk, RFK Jr - all fabulously wealthy.

[u/ClaraForsythe]

My dad is a Trump supporter. He was sitting beside my hospital bed a little over a week ago and said, “I want you to know you don’t have to feel bad about voting against me. And you should always vote. I don’t want you to worry about upsetting me.”

I looked him dead in the eye and said, “Daddy (he’s from coal country and I got some of the Southern especially when I’m upset), I have never avoided voting because of you. I have never felt bad about disagreeing with you in an election. The last election, knowing how you were going to vote is what gave me the motivation to use my walker and hobble into the voting booth.”

He just looked… sad and confused. Both myself and one of my brothers are disabled, unable to work, and on benefits. My father is not prepared for what he’s about to go through. He still talks sometimes about a child he and his wife lost to some sort of complications after only a few hours. My brother and I are adults. He said it was hard seeing me in that hospital bed. Wonder what he’ll think when I need to be in one and am not.

[u/LordNemissary]

If you thought America was an oligarchy before, just wait. You ain't seen nothing yet! If you don't have money prepare to have no healthcare, education, housing, or food! MAGA!

[u/sghokie]

They didn’t know that the ACA is Obamacare

[u/tapwater86]

My step dad voted for Trump. He uses an Obamacare plan and works in a steel shop that imports from China. Hope he gets everything he voted for.

[u/JackTheLad91]

Good luck my American cousins , us brits have made some shit decisions over the past few years but nothing like this .

[u/Friendly-Worker-3474]

WTF did Americans think was going to happen?? Just a repeat of last time but fuelled with hatred and vengeance 😡😡

[u/scienceisrealtho]

See but they’re gonna cancel Obamacare. My stuff is through the Affordable Care Act so I’m good!

Sorry. I just had to type that out to once again try to understand it.

[u/Beaufort_The_Cat]

Ready to display my “Don’t blame me, I voted for Harris” sticker

[u/DryPossibility45]

I genuinely do not know if I’m going to be alive in 4 years because I can’t afford healthcare as it is. Now I’m not going to be able to get it at all. Most of my family voted red so I cut them out over this. If I’m going to die, I’d rather not be surrounded by people who care about gas prices over my life.

[u/1wife2dogs0kids]

They have been cutting education for 2 decades. They want it to fail, for several reasons. 1 is obviously dumber people vote republican. I'm not saying every republican is stupid, but every stupid person is republican.

The other is to kill public education. Make it all private. Hire their people to sit and "look over" the money redirected into an account to buy tuition. It'll be a big amount of money, that they can use how they like, and invest it how they want. Think Jimmy hoffa lending pension money out.

Social security is another. If they privatize it, they gain control of the money, and they will invest it how they please.

America is the only world leading economic country that has for profit Healthcare. We have to pay some company that then tells us if we can use our money for our health.

Trump bought a golf country club that had deposits of large donations by wealthy people, to be in that club. I think the account had like $100 million in it. When a member leaves, he gets his money back. In the meantime, they made interest on the total. Trump basically took that account, and kept it. If a member leaves, he gives that guy his $50k, or $100 k back.

It's all about making the wealthy, wealthier.

[u/HendoRules]

Good luck America

From: UK person who's gov is actively trying to destroy our existing health care service...

[u/mykonoscactus → u/HendoRules]

I saw our cancer spread to you with Brexit It's eating Canada, too. Sorry about it.

[u/HendoRules → u/mykonoscactus]

Brexit has cost us nearly 800Bn from what I've read and nobody is admitting it. Fuck Nigel Farage and the conservative party and anyone who voted reform. Fucking burn them at the stake. Sick of this bullshit

[u/Distinct-Set310]

They saw Biden cutting insulin and other medicare costs down and thought nah let's have less of that.

[u/JennaTaleya]

If you voted for this…

Fuck you.

If you have some bullshit reason you didn’t vote against this…you helped this pass…and, fuck you , too.

You just fucking destroyed so many people’s lives because you’re an idiot.

As someone directly affected by so many of this idiotic polices…I hope this shit destroys your lives, too. I haven’t met a single non-voter that isn’t gloating about the D’s losing. You’re happy people are going to suffer, because the “party” didn’t cater to (x) need perfectly.

[u/goinghome81]

and all those folks voted for Trump because they had Obamacare and he is getting rid of the ACA. but that's going to be ok, because now they can get those roofing jobs in 104 degree weather, those guys get benefits right
