Voters vulnerable to Medicaid cuts in Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” law are reluctant to believe the President or congressional Republicans are to blame

So it’s specifically this sort of shit that makes me want to fuck off from the US for good. I don’t think I can mentally handle dogmatically voting idiots of this caliber and prevalence.

But they'll believe all the world's problems are because of Biden

Water is wet.

And there it is. In my own state I keep hearing how medicaid cuts will get people to see the light, no it fucking won't. These people are so deep in the cult they won't get out no matter how much they're fucked.

It's not a binary thing. Some will notice and fall away, or get closer to doing so. Others will dig in harder. The base of true MAGA believers is not that big. Even a few defections can have an outsized influence on support.
- The base of true MAGA believers isn't that big, but those that vote R no matter who is on the ticket is FAR larger when you live in the midwest or the south.
  The only reason Missouri has anyone in congress that's not a Republican is because of cities... and if they could figure out how to get rid of them, they'd do the same. And I know the commentary will come up on gerrymandering, but when it comes to state level elections there isn't the gerrymandering problem and yet people still vote Republican overwhelmingly in the state.
I think "MAGA incapable in acknowledging they're wrong" would be a more concise and broadly correct title.
- Hey, Steve Jobs realized he was worthless mortal trash before he died alone, they can too, I believe in like, 33% of them being able to achieve deathbed enlightenment.
Some of them will literally "see the light."

This is the toughest part for me. It's HIS "big beautiful bill," all their reps and senators voted for it, hyped it up, hammed it up with smiles and limp-dicked handshakes. And when they find out what's in it, they invariably refuse to acknowledge the bare objective reality. It is MADDENING that it seems impossible to get these people's heads out of their asses.

Tjatw because the right has a huge propaganda machine which tells them 24/7 that everything wrong in their lives is the left's fault.

as a leftist: welcome to the club. lol
- Yeah, this type of cult behavior is nothing new.

How could democrats do this?

I've actually seen that argument from tankies on Lemmy.
- When they're talking about the Democrats that voted for it, sure, along with their general bitching that a bunch of rich liberals work in their own class interests and not for any form of ethical ideals.
  Weird deflection btw.

Recognizing an error publicly or even out loud to those you are close with is something that takes courage and dignity.

Yeah, for a trump voter, that's a tough hill to climb and probably outside most of their lifespans.

It kind of doesn't though. It's really not hard.
Honestly, this says more about the propaganda they’re ingesting. Their primary media sources are telling them that anything bad is because of the other team, not the people in power.
- Very true. I was just hoping -naively- about a future point of self awareness or lucidity in my compatriots that may never occur.

It was due to all that socialism handing out free healthcare to illegal immigrants, of course.

When you've been fucking your cousins for generations, thinking is tough.

Hey, that's not fair to say. Sometimes it's siblings.

in that case you deserve it. there i said it. fresh out of sympathy for unrelenting weaponized idiocy. just die in the hospital parking lot like you clearly want to. maybe in doing so you'll help raise the standards of the electorate.

They shot themselves through the chest in the hope that the bullet would hit a trans person behind them.
If only Darwinism was faster and more effective...

They're basically vegetables at this point

It was the DEMOCRATS fault that Trump and the Republicans controlling LITERALLY EVERYTHING passed this Bill! The ONLY way to Ensure it DOESNT happen Again is to VOTE BACK IN the People who Voted FOR it!

It was the DEMOCRATS fault that Trump (...) passed this Bill!
No no no, the Bill is Big and Beutiful and it's Good that Trump passed it! But it's the DEMOCRATS fault that everything in it turned to shit, and specifically against devoted Republicans!
[Granted, that's the "politcally literate MAGA" version]
