You know what might have been a clue? The past!

- 2017-2019: Repeated attempts to repeal the ACA, threatening free cancer screenings like mammograms.
- February 2020: Proposed $3 billion cut to NIH in the 2021 budget, while increasing defense spending.

If people are surprised, it’s because they aren’t paying attention, or they just think Trump is BASED until the ramifications show up at their doorstep.
I knew he was going to hurt poor people, trans people, immigrants, US citizens born of immigrant parents, US citizens of color, women, children, and even people in need of healthcare and research. that was all fine. it was fun, actually, i made fun of them online, and tried to rub it on their face after the election as much as possible.
… but I didn’t think he would also hurt this very specific portion of them which also affects me.
fuck cancer, and fuck this guy. this guy is cancer.
elon is the kind of dipshit who probably holds the belief that the commoners’ cancer can be compensated with a higher birth rate. People are just a resource to him.
Nauseating to see this tiny man claim to want to go to mars when he can’t even crawl out of his own ass.
He doesn’t think of those people at all.
Maybe I’m just OOTL but why bring up muskrat?
He is the new president of the USA. I’m only half joking.
Cancer funding was on this bill he shut down: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/johnson-forward-stopgap-funding-bill-despite-elon-musk/story?id=116903027 I thought this was the whole point of mentioning cancer funding at this stage.
But ok, in the interest of transparency this looks like a balanced analysis https://www.snopes.com/news/2024/12/20/trump-elon-musk-childrens-cancer/ for ootl people
It will be difficult to “out villain” this administration in most people’s imagination.
2025 - 2029: And then it got worse.
Which fits because the US will turn into a Russia-style oligarchy. Trump even mirrors Yeltzin in many ways.
No you don’t get clout for regretting your clearly terrible decision.
The bad shit hasn’t even started yet.
I genuinely believe that the best case scenario for America is that it all goes to shit SO FAST that even his most ardent supporters have to say “No, this is fucked. He needs to go.”
At least 30% of the population has drunk the Kool-Aid and is so deep in, nothing, not anything, will turn them from their God King.
Only because they believe they will be unaffected or benefit. If they are negatively impacted, they will flip so fast
Republican propaganda outlets will tell them that there is no problem and they’ll believe it. If not that, they’ll tell them the problem is a fault of the “others”, and they’ll get even more on board the maga hate train. They’re a lost cause.
30% of voters
Don’t forget there’s a whole separate worse category of people: those who refuse to vote or learn about “politics”
Nah, I can understand apathy way more than I can the racism and hatred of the fascist Republican voters.

I heard that Vance is twice as bad.
Vance doesnt have the cult of personality behind him.
He doesn’t need them. He’s already VP.
Yeah but in 4 years unless Trump tries to go full Putin thats going to matter.
"Oh, buddy…you think that’s bad, just wait till next year!
…I mean… If you’re still around then."
Republicans think Trump holds conservative values because he regurgitated their speaking points. Like most politicians on any side but to an extreme level, Trump holds no values except those that he thinks will lead to more money or power for him.
The most amazing one to me is that they’ve deluded themselves into thinking he has Christian values
I mean, look at Christian history and he definitely does.
He does though. No matter how much of a POS you are just say the magic words: “forgive me o lord jesus” and you are forgiven. We live in a clown world where 50% of the world is dragging the rest forward in time.
I think that’s just the Catholics. Don’t the others go in for “if you believe in Jesus you’re good” approach?
A lot of Christian sects are feel good nonsense, yeah.
Like sure the text says you should give your stuff to the poor and (substantially!) help them, but that sounds hard so we’re just going to pray and go back to football and Xbox.
Some even pray for football
Shameless opportunist who is in it for his own vanity constructed out of his fragile bloated ego.
Why would you expect that he wouldn’t? He defrauded a KIDS cancer organization. He doesn’t give a fuck about anyone that isn’t him
Good time to remind everyone that both parties support banning the Cuban cancer vaccines and Chinese diabetes cures from import to the US.
We need to remove the capitalists from power to get access to modern medicine for the general public.
Diabetes cures?
Big Pharma is lobbying to ban the treatment from the US, to protect insulin profits.
This is pretty recent science, though. The article is from October. At the earliest, i wouldn’t expect a product available to the public for another 5-7 years.
What makes you suggest Big Pharma is actively suppressing this?
Probably involves powdered tiger gonads.
You’re a racist piece of shit.

Bitter me and Trump: fuck this guy’s health
It’s time for a lot of Americans to start to learn some German: “Ich hab es nicht gewust”. Because this is just the tip of the massive pile of shit which is about to come down on everyone.
Ich bin nicht Amerikan Aber Turkisch, mir leid
ASI going online during Trump’s administration…
I didn’t mind the bigotry, racism and anti-democratic scheming but this is where i draw the line.
Yeah they draw the line right in front of them. And they only notice someone crossing it when it hits them in the face.
Their line is a circle around themselves.
Some of them include their children.
“But not Fred, he’s too woke. And Jenna is a lesbianist!”
Jenna is a lesbianist
She plays the alto lesbian in the orchestra.
I tried out for that, but I couldn’t get the tonguing right. Took up violin, because fingering is just more natural to me.
Mmmmmmm alto lesbian
You omitted pedophile rapist.
Ooooh, it’s not just about racism… damn
Cancer may affect her.
