      I know a few people in the states. They depend on both social security and medicade (or medicare. I always get those confused. Give me a break. I’m Canadian.) The voted for Trump mostly because of woke-something-something.

      I’m not going to lie. If they end up without their government funds keeping them going, it will be pretty satisfying.

      As for the other people who didn’t vote for Trump, or didn’t vote, my sympathy is pretty low. It was no mystery what Trump was after the first run and no mystery what Project 2025 was planning. It should have been a landslide against him but not enough people cared I guess.

      I think this entire thing is an apathy wake up call. If we want things to be good and stay good, we have to work at it all the time.

        Psst, Medicare is for people 65+, medicaid can be for anyone as long as you meet certain criteria (generally low income or disability)
