The next year or two is just going to be an orgy of face-eating leopards eating faces.
My dad is one of those people who claims he’s not a conservative or Republican, maybe he’s a libertarian, IDGAF really because he always votes for Republicans. His wife is disabled, and I really worry about her because they are going to need those Medicare dollars.
Shame he elected leopards to eat his and his wife’s face.
No problem. He can just pull a Newt.
Your dad reminds me of my wife’s uncle. He has a disabled wife and is absolutely DROWNING. Apparently, this is all immigrants’ fault and Trump will solve his problems.
He’s also a raging alcoholic, and seems to be terrorizing his wife. His adult son hangs around, I think fearing what would happen to her if he left.
That subreddit was one of the few things I miss from the Trump days.
Looking forward to the quality leopardsatamyface posts the next four years
That community just got revived! Good timing.
I don’t think the timing is necessarily coincidence 😅
I am going to laugh after all the water holding Garland did for Republicans, if Trump still goes after him for some reason.
Absolutely. Tons of people will be surprised by him.
Already happening. In this region a LOT of manufacturing workers voted for him. Now most of them are looking at significant reductions in compensation because their companies are all rebudgeting to prepare for the tariff proposals the GOP has written. Now they are all mad, though I wonder how many understand that they need to be blaming who they voted for, rather than immigrants, communists, and queer people.
I hope everyone who voted for him gets to be a part of this.
Good news, statistically a lot of them will. Republicans tend to skew older (and dumber but that’s irrelevant in this case), so when he axes Medicare it’s going to impact his supporters hardest.
This brings me joy.
Unfortunately if history is anything to go by they’ll still find some way to blame their suffering on anyone but Trump and the Republicans.
It’ll be the dEeP sTatE undermining Trump or some shit.
Yep. They’ll never realize that Trump is the deep stats.
He’ll blame it on a department he’s looking to dismantle.
They will just claim that this is Harris’ fault.
This is the biggest part of the problem. He will do exactly that and these people will believe him because every other source on the planet is lying and only Donald Trump tells it like it is.
This is the goal. Remove health insurance. Only healthy manual laborers are wanted because those are the ones who can work for their masters. If they aren’t working, they don’t deserve to live. If they get sick or are unwell, they can’t work and thus are of no value. They only live by the grace of the masters after all.
That’s why you need to earn a living, because you don’t deserve to exist unless you sell your labour.
That’s right. It’s the natural order of things that the many live in service to the few. They were born superior after all and deserve our service. We should fight and die for them too whenever they wish to use us to acquire more resources. We should worship those that sacrifice for our masters and encourage them with extra resources so they can breed more children to fight for our masters.
Yep. Because that’s “the natural order” or some idiotic bullshit
Yeah I’m nervous about healthcare for my family and I. I need it, full stop. I’m not workable.
My father has had it for so long he thinks he’s invincible and he voted for Trump. He keeps telling me Trump is great for his 401k. The guy hasn’t had a 401k in decades. It’s ridiculous.
Yup. I have to take twelve medications daily to keep me from dying. Retail price for all of them would be about $15k a month. Once that goes away, I go away. Now I have to face the idea of sitting down with my wife and planning what she’ll do when I die.
No one in this day and age should have to do that. I’m 42…

Yeah I’m personally fucked without my medications. I also have an extremely serious condition I need looked at but just won’t since I’ll have no insurance soon.
My sincerest condolences on your whole situation. Please try to find any/all right-fighters in your region and don’t go it alone. Tough times are ahead.
He keeps telling me Trump is great for his 401k. The guy hasn’t had a 401k in decades.
This is some next level mental gymnastics right here. Please make this make sense. My head hurts.
Once they kill the provision that protects people with pre-existing conditions I’m dropping my health insurance completely. I refuse to pay them through my lost potential income for a “service” that they will just deny as soon as possible. Medical insurance companies can go fuck themselves.
As someone with cancer, dear god I wish that was realistically an option for me.
I’m probably realistically just gonna die soon, even though my medication probably would have let me live relatively comfortably the rest of my life.
Even the generics of my meds are about $5k a month without insurance.
I also won’t be able to afford regular blood tests or, you know, being able to see the cancer doctor.
I wish I had something more comforting to say, but all I’m left with is rage towards the people that put you in this situation. So many people have so much more unnecessary anxiety now just so already disgustingly wealthy people can be more disgustingly wealthy.
I wish all the calls for guillotines weren’t just empty words. :(
surely you mean “millions of people who aren’t me”?
I’m not at risk of losing health insurance, because you can’t lose what you don’t have!
I’d laugh, but my teeth hurt.
I can’t wait to see the trumpers argue, “They are repealing Obama care, not the ACA. The ACA is great and works well. I use it personally. Obamacare is such a mess.”
Exceptionalism has always been the downfall of man.
And most of them voted for him.
My in-laws include retirees who live on social security and Medicare, a woman who has had a job for maybe 3 years in her life, and her adult aom with Cerebral Palsy. The last 2 survive mostly on the son’s SSI. None of them will get any help from me or my wife when all of these programs are canceled because they voted for it. Elections have fucking consequences, shitbags.
Plus, they ALL order ahit from Wish and Temu. I can’t wait to hear them cry about how everything is wo much more expensive now!
Good. Feel free to DM me their mailing address when the time comes so I can send them a postcard saying, “Thoughts & Prayers–just kidding, you get what you deserve”.
At this point, I think we can just lump all these headlines into: “Millions at risk following trump victory.”
Remember to remind those that voted for this when they are complaining about the outcomes.
That would require me to speak to them, which is something I refuse to do at this point. I’m only interested in communicating with people IRL who wish to be a part of the socio-cultural resistance.
I actually think this was part of the Fox/Conservative media plan. Make your neighbors and relatives so obnoxious that you can’t be bothered correcting them anymore.
But they’re only going to repeal Obamacare, not the ACA, right? Right?
This is like the English voting to exit EU… Only when shit hits the fan, the red necks will still continue to say it was a good idea
“The gays made me do it!”
Man, I wish we could get a general strike going in january
I’m in. Let’s get it going. Labor is basically our only hope now.
A lot of Trump supporters will lose coverage and I’m OK with that.
I’m not willing to hurt the vulnerable just to get some schadenfreude on Trump supporters.
“We” are not the ones hurting the vulnerable.
For me it’s not Schadenfreude. The realization they are about to have will hurt so hard, they will never ever allow it to happen. So it’s not the least bit funny, it’s a spiral of violence ready to unfold.
Don’t forget Trump floated the Idea of a real life Purge in October. That is the level we are aiming for here. Healthcare? They will have new, bigger problems.

It’s okay, they’ll be able to replace their health insurance with concepts of health insurance.
Yeah, I’m one of them. And I’m trying to start a family.
Well, don’t complain. Trump’s billions for billionaires will eventually trickle down to you. Just kneel and hold your hand out. I promise, it will come eventually.
