That's fucking bullshit, you don't understand just how bad healthcare was and just how easy it was to be denied coverage or dropped before 2010.
And how ever bad it was, it's gotten significantly worse since the Niggerfaggot your side worshipped tried to "fix it." It's kinda like how trucks keep getting bigger because of Obama era CAFE standards. None of you Team Blue types understand second and third order consequences. Well, the rank and file don't, the guys on top knew the ACA would fuck things up more instead of fixing it.

See, the fact that you've actually bought into the last 40 years of Republican propaganda that any aid to this country's poor is "gibs", meanwhile they've spent the last 8 presidencies continually fucking over the middle class to enrich the rich is the fucking problem with this country.

Republicans since Reagan have tricked people into believing all of their problems come from the bottom classes and not from the higher ups who actually pull the strings. This bill is going to cause stagflation on top of the oncoming recession, but that doesn't matter because they might do a few more shows of deportation theater for Fox News.
The vast majority of Federal Government spending is on entitlements because you Cultist retards think you can legislate away poverty. Everything in this country gets continually worse because your side of the political aisle forces everything to the Lowest Common Denominator. You make endless excuses for the behavior of the bottom quintile, instead of dealing with them effectively. We gave up space for the Spic-Nig cycle, now all we have is morbidly obese "poor" with big screen TVs and SUVs.

>we mostly want [culture war bullshit]
Nothing about improving the healthcare system, nothing about improving the education system, nothing about reducing poverty or improving the economy or anything that actually materially helps the American people, just petty grudges.
The only thing your side ever does is just throw endless money at these problems, which never improve. Because the money isn't effectively spent to fix the problem, it's a thin cover for a network of political patronage.

JD has referred to and quoted Yarvin's work approvingly. Elon is Paypal mafia. Come on. If you're going to do propaganda, please do it better.
Well yeah, Vance is one of us online Right Wingers, of course he knows about Yarvin. I know about Yarvin from the Moldbug days, sometimes he has useful thoughts, but he's still a faggot massively up his own ass and butt hurt because he didn't get to be part of the elite. This is known. And if you still think Trump is beholden to Musk, there's nothing I can do for you, you're clearly too old for this.
 
WTF is even happening in the Senate? How many Senators besides Thune are nuking their careers just to protect the parliamentarian?
Tin-foil: I recall Brendan Herrera of all people mentioning politicians being pissy at the 2A crowd shortly after they didn't settle for the original $0 tax proposal.
How much of this is being done out of spite for their voter bases wanting actual action instead of hollow promises? Either way, at least it can be sued out of existence now (unless the courts argue some BS like the $0 tax is still a tax just one that costs nothing). I really hope Trump declares Total Rhino Death for the Senate, and Elon actually goes through primarying as many people as possible since their replacements will be extremists.

Thune isn't even running in 2026, he's retiring. He was chosen for the sole reason that Trump has zero leverage to replace him.
 
We're one of the only Capitalist industrialized countries that does not have public health care.
And that's a good thing. Have you taken any look at what's happening in Canada and the UK? The NHS is swamped with patients that they can't care for at a reasonable time, and Canada is recommending MAID to anybody they possibly can that's a burden to their healthcare system. MAID is already nearly 5% of all deaths in Leafistan. The Scandinavian countries that have the "best socialist healthcare" all for the most part have tax rates above 50%

Sure our healthcare system is shitty, but at least we don't get recommended MAID for broken bones and have to pay over 50% of our income to a retarded government that lets shitskins flood into the country.
 
I dunno but it seems the people most upset (at least in my social circle) are all spoiled white people who have had their parents gib them houses and shit while the people who are excited about the bill are all hard workers who have been forced to be on government gibs before.

I'm too lazy to think all that too deeply into it, but it's funny.
 
Insofar as a voter has any input, it's either red team or blue team.
Not really. Party caucuses have significant influence in the parties. Look at how the Progressive Caucus has taken over the Democrat Party in the last 30 years. They went from not existing in 1990, to having 77 seats in the House in 2010, to having 100 House seats in 2022. Look at how the Freedom Caucus holds up the GOP. It's easier to think of it in terms of Red vs. Blue, that is 100% true, but the details are far more complicated than that.
Hope this encourages more sobriety too!
That's a major problem, too. Lots of people soak up bennies because they're high and/or drunk all the time. How many cows have threads on the site who are addicts and collect government checks for nothing? It's not hard: get a job. Do community service. Do something other than sit around all day.

Everyone I know bitching about it are either leftist glitterati, trolls, or lazy. All the people who actually work are fine with it.
 
Nigga, your god is on the Epstein flight logs like Musk said.
>believing a word that Musk says while he's on ketamine, cocaine, whip its, and weed laced with the most obscure, diabolical drugs known to man, all at the same time

Sure thing. Just don't think about the fact that they could've released that supposed fact while Biden was in office. Trump is the most hated man on the planet by the deep state. If that kind of dirt existed it would be released in an instant.
 
Are you... not familiar with the times historically that central banking, fractional reserve systems, or debt... have nearly ruined countries? I'm not a fiscal conservative but you may want to look into those examples a bit. Sooner or later there is a chance it'll melt down. It nearly did in 2008 and again in 2019.
Nobody truly knows how it works. And by the time you think you have a handle on global finance, it changes. Again.

Imagine a giant crystal shattered into a hundred pieces. Someone finds a shard and says “I have the whole picture!” when really, nobody does.

I’m content to know it can never fully be known.
 
Yes, we know, from a flight between Florida and New York. He's not on the Lolita Express, this isn't news, it's been known about for almost a decade.

I'm sorry you need to defend pedophiles.

Yeah, it would be nice if Trump ordered the release of the Epstein files. Not sure why he isn't doing that. Hmm.
