The thing is, the elders have all bought in to this idea that there's no money for social security and medicare not because it's been whittled away and underfunded and means tested to death for forty years, but rather there's just massive, massive fraud, and everybody's stealing from social security before it gets to them. So, they're probably all cheering this push to cut entitlements because they think that all these fraudsters will be kicked off, and surely they won't be kicked off, surely their social security benefits will actually be a good amount once all those mooches are kicked off. When it does happen to them, and it will, they won't realize that it was by design, they'll all be stunned that Trump and Musk made this "mistake" and swept them up in the cuts.
And if we have elections again, they’ll thumb a ride from outside of their tent by the highway to catch a ride to the polling booths where they will vote for Trump’s third term? I’m thinking some of them will have to figure it out by then.
Imma be straight with you, dawg, my MAGA mom is still unironically, dead seriously convinced that Obama is the anti-Christ and he's going to come back and seize control of the government and launch a nuclear apocalypse literally any moment now.
