MAGA - Men are not getting a chance to succeed in America!

Also MAGA - All these lazy fakers on welfare are men

You are trying to reason with a lunatic. The cruelty is the point.

Fair. But my rep is on the committee so I pin him to the wall with facts and hopefully the fear of losing reelection. Faint hope, which is why we use multiprong tactics

Do you mean to say that the GOP is lying when they say Medicaid recipients are "sitting around playing video games?" Preposterous, I tell you!/s

Georgia Touts Its Medicaid Experiment as a Success. The Numbers Tell a Different Story.

Georgia proves why it doesn’t work..

He Became the Face of Georgia’s Medicaid Work Requirement. Now He’s Fed Up With It.

And the Republicans demand that the 8% work. While they work part-time, commit full-time treason, and suck the country dry.

How many are gig workers? I suspect lots!

laserpony.bsky.social•14 days ago

100% true!

marshcreekdems.bsky.social•16 days ago

We haven’t saved a damn penny to date. All the layoffs equals increase to unemployment, people loosing farms, income and purchasing ability. Our country losing major trading partners. And now deaths due to lack of insurance. Winning! 🙄🙄🙄

I drove school bus for 14 years. Health insurance was not offered, so I was on Medicaid.

laserpony.bsky.social•15 days ago

Omg that sux. Wtaf. You should have been a public employee. Sorry!! When I called my rep, I pointed out that full-time work on minimum wage qualifies workers for Medicaid and SNAP. Like, the system is actually set up to make working people be on medicaid

Nice data…too bad the gop doesn’t care

skyofred.bsky.social•16 days ago

Idiots in congress don’t even work 20 hours a week. Nodding bobble heads should lose their healthcare too.

laserpony.bsky.social•14 days ago

hahahahahaha so true

But can Republicans read?

laserpony.bsky.social•14 days ago

Well some do. Truth Brigade! Assume it's worth reaching out to those in my 70% Trump-votimg county. One way to get out of this is to have one-on-one conversations with people face to face. Remember only 4% of people supported project 2025. Most Republicans support medicaid.

bbmjcandy.bsky.social•15 days ago

Or do math?
