If the GOP ended Social Security and Medicare--which they long have wanted--they would pay a short time political price in 2026--assuming elections happen. But even then they would absorb that loss and re-group like after Roe. v wade was overturned. GOP is laser focused on killing SS/Medicare - ThreadSky

If it were to go away it would be almost I possible to bring it back. It would be way too expensive to recreate and they know this. Same thing happened to private pensions.

The fascist playbook we wrote says no free lunch for law breakers or poor people.

Not last month’s laws.

Cishet white patriarchy law

They’ll put them in private prisons, that tax payers are going to pay for, then hire them out to the same companies they used to work for pennies instead of wages.

Possibly BUT Roe was about abortion; SS & Medicare is about$. People will scratch someone’s eyes out for money. If elections dont happen, well its time to
leave. It might be time to leave now unless we get a real party that’s got some cajones

One way or another he is

They will have to answer to seniors.

That money from SS is money people have put in, they take it, that’s stealing from all of us!

And millions of Americans will do what? Disabled & elderly w/o health insurance? I paid into Medicare & SS for 45+years. It's not their money! This is THEFT!

People will suffer. People will die.
But that's their point, isn't it?

The republican party is banking on the public just accepting this to happen without any serious political blowback. What they haven't really considered is that doing this may trigger a nationwide 1/6 response from the people.

We pay for both Social Security and Medicare. They have no right to cut/get rid of them since everyone who’s worked has been paying.

There won't be anymore elections. This is a coup!

If they cut off SS all the people like us who rely 80% on SS to live, all seniors who live in mobile home parks will default on their rent. Mortgage companies will have huge defaults, retail including groceries will lose so much business. Instant crash of the economy.

At least they haven’t taken our guns away….yet. We may need them. I sense total chaos coming if they steal our SS and Medicare. I’m about to retire and this is really pissing me off.

Millions of elderly and disabled people, including MAGA, will lose much or all of their income. Many, probably millions, will be pushed into homelessness when they can no longer make rent. I can already picture Musk gleefully posting ROFL emoji's as this happens but not sure how well it will fly.

How would Fox-Primetime polish that turd?

mhschnepper.bsky.social•96 days ago

Seems unbelievable....but it's unbelievable that Roe didn't sink them. So it doesn't seem unrealistic. 🙄

robinthedesert.bsky.social•95 days ago

If that happens many of us will rise and kill them.

MAGATS are blind and cannot see that Trump is the Anti-Christ who wants to bring about the end of the world.
