People Who Voted For Trump

[Baron2024]

Many people who voted for Trump are going to be quite surprised when the Republicans cut Social Security and Medicare. My Stepfather is retired and living down in Florida. He voted for Trump. He gets a pension from his former teaching job and Social Security. He is one of many that will be shocked if Social Security is cut. These people do not know what they are in for. Trump and the MAGA Republicans have suckered these people. Trump and MAGA are for the billionaires, not the Middle Class or Working Class. Many people who voted for Trump are going to find out what a mistake that was.

1. I don't think they'll cut anyone's

SS. I think they'll raise the age and change some rules but those getting SS I think will be fine.

[valleyrogue]

8. No way are they going to gut SS and Medicare unless they have a political death wish. n/t

[ZonkerHarris]

14. or a real one

[DeepWinter]

26. Totally agree

Once they start digging into it it'll become clear cutting it entirely is a deathwish. Some minor tweaking and they'll boast it's a win.

[bdamomma]

2. All of

us will be in the pot. Unfortunately.

[magicarpet]

3. Ya but.... trDUMP is a macho male tough guy Mafioso thug,....

... alpha male he man.
That is all that counts.

Actually a - MARSHMALLOW !

[choie]

4. Just out of curiousity

why dd he vote for trump?

[Baron2024]

13. I Don't Know

I don't exactly know why my Stepfather voted Trump. He is a lifelong Republican and he considers himself a moderate Republican. We do not talk politics in any great detail.

[harumph]

5. It likely won't affect him as he is already getting it - iow, he's of an age at present where he receives it.

They're smart about the optics and will put measures in to bankrupt it - but it won't go bankrupt overnight. It's the younger generation that'll be fucked. But he got his and that's all that matters for these guys.

7. I guess they think nobody gives a damn about

the next generations. - children, grandchildren, stepchildren and everybody else's children.

[ThePartyThatListens]

29. But aren't they always weeping, wailing and caterwauling about

A future for their children and grandchildren?

[yorkster]

30. And just theirs. The hell with everyone else's...

[republianmushroom]

6. Going to get darn interesting.

[Johonny]

9. Propaganda works

Many Trump voters voted for mythical Trump and not the real guy. Most Trump voters spend 24/7 in fantasy land. Reality is going to hit them hard, so most will bury their head in the sand and pretend the leader is great.

10. My right-wing Aunt from Florida

Complained about Democrats on FB all the time for as many years as I've known her. During Obama's Presidency, she got particularly nasty. It was also during Obama's Presidency that her husband, my Uncle, was diagnosed with cancer. In between rants about Democrats, Democratic policies, and Obama, she'd talk about how grateful she was for Medicare as without it they would not have been able to afford my Uncle's medical care. Completely oblivious to the fact that Democrats were responsible for Medicare and for constantly fighting to protect Medicare.

I don't think Trumpers will be capable of blaming the GOP or Trump for any cuts to Medicare or SS.

[kimbutgar]

11. Since repukes will control all three branches come January 20th

They’ll be twisting themselves into a pretzel trying to blame the Democratic Party for cuts to social security and Medicare.

[Baron2024]

16. Sorry

Sorry that your Aunt is so mixed up. It seems to me that many Trump supporters are confused, not always just bad people. My Stepfather is not a bad guy. I am not too sure that he understands politics and policy very well. So it seems to be more about ignorance rather than malevolence. There certainly are malevolent Trumpers out there. But there are also some decent people that have had the wool pulled over their eyes by Trump and his gang.

[Cosmocat]

20. Whoever they choose to allow themselves

To be brainwashed by will tell them it's the evil liberals fault and they will therefor believe that to be true.

[sakabatou]

12. *inserts slugs for salt cartoon*

[doc03]

15. They won't cut SS or Medicare for those already getting it. It will be future generations

and they already have Trump voters brainwashed into believing it will go under in a few years anyway.
The blame will be put on Democrats for giving stuff to illegal immigrants.

[Hangingon]

17. I was talking to someone about this today

I want to see who and why SSA pays out. Who besides the earners and their spouses are receiving payments.

[Baron2024]

18. I Think That Some Disabled Children Receive Benefits

I think that a disabled child of a payor is eligible to receive benefits from the parent's account. Social Security is mainly for the elderly and retired, but also some disabled people.

[MacKasey]

19. The only thing they need to raise is the cap on the yearly social security withholding amount

It's going up to $176,100 in 2025

But I think it should be at $200,000

[RainCaster]

22. IMO that limit should not exist

Let the wealthy pay their share. Just like the rest of us do.

[Wiz Imp]

24. There should be no cap.

The difference between 176000 and 200000 is negligible, the impact would not be great. For people who don't want to eliminate the cap entirely, the Democrats introduced a bill in 2023 to keep the current cap in place but then remove it on all income over $400,000.

25. trump voters are all idiots

[claudette]

27. Are as

crazy and immoral as he is.

[The Wizard]

28. The cuts to the social safety net

have the most effect on the weakest among us. The bribing class will reap the ill gotten benefits of more failed trickle down economics.
People who vote against their own best interests are morons and usually bigots.
