Between a rock and a hard place [View all]

I think the one component of this crime against humanity that everyone is missing is the timeline for implementing it.
Many of the most damaging features, like the Medicare cuts, are years out and likely when Democrats could be in control of the WH and/or Congress.
This isn't the Republicans first rodeo.
This timeline is long on purpose because they know it won't be popular when it happens.
They also know that most people have very short memories.
When those dominoes start to fall they will absolutely blame Democrats and will avoid all responsibility saying "it's not our fault because the Democrats are in charge now".
Its what they do.
