Yes, they are going to try it again, and all the people who cheered on “Maverick” McCain are about to be reminded that he’s always been a shill when the time came to be a shill. The praises sung for Johnny made me sick to my stomach, because I knew he’d eventually back stripping millions of their only realistic chance at having healthcare. He won’t fail to do so. Count on it.
For the GOP, it’s all good. Americans who die younger from preventable illnesses won’t be withdrawing any of that Social Security they paid into. And every dime not drawn is a dime that can be handed to billionaires, which is what this effort was always about. Do the idiots who fluff Trump at every opportunity really think he wouldn’t like for them to die and get out of the way? The average chumps are the people Trump’s been fleecing, abusing, and belittling his whole life. Trumpcare would really amount to his biggest scam ever, with a payoff that dwarfs all the other scams he’s pulled in this world. That would be attractive to him, as he measures his successes by the number of people he can rip off and the amount of money he can collect doing it. For the GOP, of course, repealing healthcare is a stepping stone to their long-cherished goal of stripping us of everything. Rich elites blame the poor for being born poor, and they resent anything that gives someone not born rich a leg up in life. They hate Social Security because it made generations of elderly people into human beings, instead of the sickened and desperate slugs the elites have always wanted them to be. Make no mistake; there is indeed a class war going on in this country, and there has been for 35 years. The rich hate you. They want you poor and desperate. That way they can laugh at you while they congratulate themselves on being better than you are. As for the lower rungs who also support this nonsense, a low education coupled with a high amount of racism has rendered them delusional. They are so blinded by hate (and dulled by an absolute lack of any desire to learn anything) that they buy into the notion that if the GOP will just hurt “them” enough, then those poor, persecuted white folks will finally be able to partake of those riches that should have been theirs by virtue of being born white. It is somewhat amazing that they’ve been conned now for 35 years, have seen their own futures crater, and still buy into the bullshit, but that’s what irrational hatred of other races/genders/religions will do for you. It’ll make you into a complete moron.
What we have to do now is to try and turn someone who went with the flow before. Capito might turn. Some people are suggesting Portman, but that just isn’t going to happen. Paul, perhaps, if you can inflate his ego enough. It is for certain someone had better be turned. Stripping millions of their healthcare is a big step towards the coming national implosion. A nation that preys on its own, and does nothing in the way of helping them to be healthier, or better educated, or even fed, is pretty pointless. Why would any feel patriotic towards a country that sees them as disposable trash? This has to be stopped now, and stopped dead. Tomorrow is probably too late.
