Yinlock posted:

again this strategy depends on trump himself being extremely popular to work though

He is extremely popular

with the Republican base.

And since more and more Republicans are more worried about being primaried than losing an election, they're terrified of being left holding the bag if the whole Obamacare repeal plan falls through.

Like I said before it kind of feels like Trump, House Republicans and Senate Republicans are all playing chicken with each other where the only goal is to not be the one who gets blamed by the base but simultaneously not actually pass anything they could be blamed for either. That's why half of them are trying to brand Ryan's plan as Obamacare-lite so they can be heroes for preventing it, and half are portraying it as the fabled Obamacare repeal they've wanted for years that a few soft Republicans are blocking.

also trump's entire strategy revolves around "going against me is suicide because i'm the most popular president who ever lived"

I don't think he's capable of understanding any other political tactics outside of brute force and humiliation

republicans absolutely respond at a literal Pavlovian level to authoritarianism and would rather line up to commit political suicide than risk disapproval from the loudmouth who scares them

and while the rest of us see Trump as a buffoon I assure you the cowards on the gop are scared of him
yep

this is pretty much why they're all ready to be cucks for putin, because trump says putin is our friend!!

yikes

I guess those were all those plans people liked but could not keep (because they don't cover hospitalization or prescription drugs, what is the point)

is there any reason to not just cancel your plan, save that money, and buy coverage that actually covers you when you get sick? Other than the 30% hit, it seems like it's more beneficial to go without under this retarded plan

republican in the senate: this wont affect me or my loved ones in any way, i will pass it because the R next to my name compels me to do so

unless, i get resistance from old white people, then i will half heartedly listen, UNLESS, im up for re election, then i will listen, and hope I can squeak by with another victory

democrat in the senate: ill offer no resistance at all! a weak wind could knock me over!

Posting from the far past, but my stance on the CIA leaks

gently caress WikiLeaks forever, I'm assuming it's all lies and moving on. Assange himself as indicated that he's compromised entirely.

I'll worry about this when I no longer have a common enemy who is an existential threat to numerous people I know and love

Also lmao if you didn't already operate under the assumption that nothing you do over the phone, especially an iPhone, is actually private
