Shortest diary ever. So many of Trump supporters receive Social Security & Medicare benefits. Trump promised his 2016 supporters that he would preserve those benefits. He’s backtracked on that “promise”.
Many comments have been made here that Trump supporters are stupid, heartless racists. No doubt there is evidence of that BUT a lot of these working class people voted for Trump in 2016 after voting for Obama in 2008 & 2012.
LBJ quote from the 60s re some folk are so blinded by racism they’ll empty there own pockets to have someone to look down upon? Yes, there’s truth there but not absolute unquestionable truth all these years later. People’s jobs were shipped away overseas. The “American Dream” myth/contract was slowly stripped away starting with Reagan.
Tea Party propaganda had white folk hating Obamacare but they liked the ACA.
Social Security & Medicare are popular programs among all voters.
Trump is going to kill it. Why aren’t our Democrat Reps & every D talking head screaming that true talking point at every opportunity? WHY?
