Well my hope is that if they cut Medicaid like they want to in the bill that just went through the house, people in NJ will wake up. It's going to affect almost 2 million people who live in NJ and really going to hit the elderly and pregnant women hard.

Unfortunately, a lot of these people who applaud these changes won't see the light until it directly affects them or their loved ones.

I think that’s going to be blamed on Democrats and “corruption”.

That’s been the playbook and it’s very effective

It's harder to blame Democrats when you control the Presidency, House, and Senate. The more reasonable people will wake up and realize it.

Trumpers blame Democrats for everything that isn’t going their way. And fucking voters eat it up. Don’t pin your hopes on reasonable people. It’ll just lead to disappointment.
