Summary

A new poll found that 71% of Trump voters oppose Medicaid cuts, while 82% of all voters reject them. Additionally, 60% of Trump voters said cutting food and nutrition programs is unacceptable.

Medicaid has become a key issue as House Republicans push for up to $2 trillion in budget cuts to advance Trump’s legislative agenda.

Their resolution directs the House Energy and Commerce Committee to find at least $880 billion in cuts.

This raises concerns that Medicaid, which covers 70 million people—mostly low-income and children—could be targeted despite GOP leaders downplaying benefit reductions.

      Sure but it’s more this idea that everyone voting (or not) has the same knowledge base. Reading/listening, digesting, etc takes a lot of time and energy and many people have neither once they’re done with their jobs and kids for the day.

      I’m old and people are what I do, so there’s little extra effort on my part.

      To be like: how could they vote MAGA, knowing this, is not much different than saying: what do you mean you hired a guy to replace that window, you could’ve saved $500 doing it yourself, to someone who has never in their life installed a window.

      You may know how to replace an existing window but that doesn’t mean I do. Assuming shared knowledge is usually a bad play.
