I voted to keep your kid on Medicaid. Did you?
I mean clearly your vote says otherwise.
Parents of disabled children don’t have the time to hunt down details buried in evasive political jargon that have the potential to upend their lives.
Ok, but… That’s not really what happened, though. Project 2025 awareness was very high and people knew it was bad. And the messaging about it was both widespread and non-jargony. Nothing about this required any hunting or deciphering of any kind. Medicaid was obviously on the chopping block. They told us so.
This is the kind of person to vote for outlawing abortions beginning at conception while bringing their daughter to Europe to get the very same procedure done during a ski vacation, all while never realizing their own hypocrisy.
I think coining the phrase “Welfare Queen”, refusing to expand Medicaid under Biden at zero cost to the state, criminalizing homelessness, and willingness to sacrifice Grandma and Grandpa on the altar of capitalism were sufficient tip offs.
OR look at the track record of Republicans for the past 50 fucking years.
WTF makes a person look at anything that’s been done by Republicans in the last 50 years and go : “Ah yes that’s made my life better…”
I’m also here to tell you why I’m an unlikely supporter of the program. My son’s life depends on government assistance.
Typical conservative. I have all the sympathy in the world for David. None for the author.
The only moral Medicaid is my family’s Medicaid?
Well I’m sure she’s more along the lines of the only moral Medicaid is her White Medicaid.
I’m a registered Republican who just watched her party spend much of the summer pushing through new cuts to Medicaid. I’m also here to tell you why I’m an unlikely supporter of the program. My son’s life depends on government assistance.
What does she mean unlikely supporter? She supports the cuts? Or she supports Medicare? It doesn’t really look like an unlikely supporter when your child literally depends on it now is it?
She means she’s an unlikely supporter of medicaid. Unlikely, because she’s a fucking asshole who votes for the party that demonizes people who need medicaid. What she doesn’t realize is that she is made from the same mold that all Republicans are: they’re against anything that could help people unless they personally could benefit from it.
I am glad that conservatives are suffering for their choices. I am just sad that the suffering is not limited to conservatives.
It is funny to watch people who voted for him get what they deserve, but it also sucks because we all have to be onboard for the eventual car cash.
I mean, if we’re approaching the time where normal people are expected to have sympathy for people voting against their own (and everyone else’s) interests, I must make everyone aware that I have no sympathy left.

I would actually like to hear more stories about the poor child’s suffering.
David does not walk, talk or eat independently. He is visually impaired and has hearing loss. He has an unrepaired cleft palate open to protruding brain tissue, covered by a thin layer of mucous membrane. Developmentally, David is like a 10-month-old baby.
So he is living in hell which they shall stretch out for a 10 to 20 year sentence so they can by their reckoning being tortured by their imaginary friend so long as they torture him but if they didn’t need a million dollars plus to pay for this exercise in sadism they wouldn’t spare 20k for a plain old poor person to have a normal full life.
here, have some boot straps.

My son’s life depends on government assistance
But she voted against it anyway. Crocodile tears, sympathies to her son, but she got what she asked for.
This is the insane stupidity the entire world has warned against, warning not to vote Republican.Here we have a saying. “Dummere end politiet tillader” More stupid than allowed by the police. ( It doesn’t roll well in English )
Meaning they will not recognize their own stupidity until they feel the consequences of it, and even then they might not. So their own stupidity is causing them unnecessary harm.
It’s absolutely insane how many in USA suffer from this level of stupidity.The headline might as well read: I’m an idiot, why would putting a plastic bag over my head be dangerous?
The son is a worthwhile sacrifice to own the libs. I give zero fucks about his health.
I care about his health and it’s heartbreaking that he doesn’t have a choice or know how much his mom is a sociopathic piece of shit.
I’m a conservative. I support fascism except in the narrow ways it harms people I care about.
