True. It’s only when they lose access to the program because they voted for the party that said: “I’m going to kill that program” that they go out and write pleading articles like this bullshit saying: “Wait, no - but good people like ME benefit from it! You can’t kill this program!”
It’s worse than that, I’m afraid. The author of the article is a woman. So not only does she not care enough about her son to vote against the party who wants to kill him… she doesn’t care enough about her gender to vote against the party that wants to strip them of their rights.
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.
Well, second biggest, anyway. White men have them beat, with 59% of them voting Trump in 2024.
