It seems like nothing they say matters anymore. Some Republicans want to get rid of Medicare. You would think this would lose them massive votes among the elderly, their biggest constituency. But it just doesn't seem to matter.

These people will consistently vote against their own best interest to "own the libs" which I'm not even sure what that means at this point.

"owning the libs" means eating shit incase a liberal has to smell your breath.

Not to mention that they're often convinced the things they vote for will never impact themselves.

That's how the classic "He's not hurting the right ones" quote came about.

Because they aren't taking Medicare away from the elderly. They've been proposing to take it away from gen x and future generations. The boomers still get theirs under all the proposals I've seen.

It'd be stupid, but it's love for someone to run on the platform of immediately defunding Medicare just to see the heads spin, and expose the hypocrisy
