    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.
