I just saw that Mitch McConnell said that people are mad about Medicaid cuts now but they will get over it. And I hate to say it but he's correct. He means that his constituents who are harmed by the cuts will continue to vote for the GOP.

Sure, his GOP base will tolerate it. But they didn’t gain control of all three branches with the same GOP base that hated Medicaid, and when Trump is gone and all their new populist voters sit in the devastation these 4 yrs have brought them, i think they lose a lot of the newer blue collar support
Can’t tell you how many people in my red state have legitimately told me that groceries/lumber/toys are more expensive in the past month because “Biden” raised the minimum wage, (which we most certainly did not do).
Pretty easy for anyone to shift that blame when it suits them.
There are constant ads for the big disgusting bill with women talking about "Biden inflation" making life more expensive. I'd imagine those help with the blame-shifting. If I didn't know better, I'd probably buy it. Not really, but they do play a lot!!
And so why aren’t there constant ads on TV in red maga country laying out the facts, showing the comparison between the Biden and Trump economies, Trump tariffs, how the proposed budget will HURT THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES? Huh?? DEMOCRATIC PARTY, WAKE THE EFF UP!!
The people who vote for the GOP today will vote for the GOP tomorrow. And everybody else will either vote for the Democrats or not vote at all. And round and round we go.

(b) make it possible for them to actually vote?
497 days til midterms…
Dead people don’t complain .
There thing seems to be that if they can’t keep the marginalized from benefiting, then it’s not worth having.

Is that really GOPers or a subset of the Did-Not-Voters?
We spend so much time focused on GOP voters!!!
Feels like that “easy” bc they are well defined.
But also extremely unwise to focus our efforts there.
Republicans, like SCOTUS, have no idea how to manage humanity.
THEY SHOOT FROM THE HIP WITH RELIGIOUS LAWS CURTAILING FREEDOMS.
THE MAJORITY OF US ARE NOT REDS.
16 MONTHS....WE WILL SHOW YOU WHO WE ARE.
This is the conversation.
When do we wakeup?
Neither party represents us.
