what do they have to lose anyway?

[ApatheticAustrian]

Good.

For years we've heard about how millions in taxpayer money goes to useless things. The amount of money our Government wastes is ridiculous.

sure, good if you follow republican orthodoxy.

but i am not so sure if all the millions of old, rural new trump voters in appalachia are going to agree.

[ApatheticAustrian]

I think they will, but we shall see.

ofc it's possible that they are ideological or anti-materialist enough that they don't care but until now republicans usually only talked the talk when "screwing" their base of older, working-class rurals.

let's see how much they like ryan-ism, i couldn't agree more.

[ApatheticAustrian]

Lol at trying to reason with Trump voters

i am pretty sure a number of 60+ million americans isn't somehow "brainwashed". a number of them are ideological republicans, another part are unwilling clinton sceptics and some just got conned and i think especially the last group is going to rethik their allegiance if they find out that trump's talk is just that....talk.

[ApatheticAustrian]

Republican voters live in their own alternate reality. If news ever got back to them that Trump screwed them over they would just cancel it out

seems quite unlikely, that 60+ million people, some of whom never voted for republicans before, would be so convinced of their choise, if it comes back to haunt them.

[ApatheticAustrian]

well, we can test that smashing theory soon, after all trump WANTS ocare to go bankrupt and then blame dems for it....let's see how that plays out.

like joe manchin said, my voters may not know who gave them healthcare but they are going to know who took it from them.

Donald Trump’s Budget Vows to Paint Republicans Into a Tight Corner

One thing to remember is that the people who get money from the government are not generally republicans, even most counties in W. Virgina had at least 30 % of people voting for Clinton.

1) citation?

2) which government services are you exactly talking about?

3) you really believe reality is that clean cut....

4).... or all people who get money from the government aren't working?
