To end any disability after they kick all off to reapply under Trump! 3 year waiting list for evaluation.

And they are crashing the stock market at the same time. Every American who is retired is now fodder for them. Everything every senior worked for is currently being dismantled and undone.

Medicare will be gone soon, too.

It would be a really, truly good idea if every American over 65 repented of their vote and would immediately call every member of Congress and scream at them.

The only thing Congress fears as much as it fears billionaires are angry seniors screaming at them.

Each year that passes, a "life" sentence seems less onerous.

nancyswitzler.bsky.social•2 days ago

I really can’t understand why they want to destroy their own supporters.

richardmcgovern.bsky.social•2 days ago

Because they don’t plan on holding more elections

nancyswitzler.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah… I guess they just want people to have absolutely no quality of life. Every day is something worse

Repent what about my vote exactly?

katehw.bsky.social•2 days ago

You mean “every American over 65 who voted for Trump,” surely?

sjmclester.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes that would be 70 year old me.

Not just senior citizens. It's about voter suppression too. Social Security cards are a critical component in proving identity. Women who need name changes after divorce/marriage or teenagers who need SS cards to get first driver's licenses or state IDs will encounter delays.

And they’re doing this at a time when we have the peak number of citizens turning 65, starting on Medicare and collecting SS benefits.

Their evil plan is to start over as king, sole rulers, dictators, with control over ALL.

I will need Social Security and I will need Medicare in order to retire. This maybe means I'll need to delay retiring.

Thanks for nothing, trump voters.

It’s sad to watch this all unfold. I wonder at times if the US will be able to recover

sallys-arc.bsky.social•2 days ago

As will the economy.

deb-brinker.bsky.social•2 days ago

And everyone who gets disabled. Make no mistake— that can happen to anyone.

janaejean.bsky.social•2 days ago

And all of us who will be senior citizens in the future, what are we going to do? We already don’t have enough money to live. We aren’t having children because we cannot afford it. Are we ever supposed to retire?

guhinp.bsky.social•2 days ago

The only good thing I can think of is that many congressmen will be affected...but then I remembered that they don't NEED SS if they're crooked.
