This effects everyone that only has Social Security as their retirement plan not to leave out Medicare. The cost of living raise is 2.5% this year and yet the prices of all the basic things any house needs have skyrocketed. If He chisels away at the programs there is no wiggle room for most people on it as it is.

    No. They’re useless “eaters.” Research what the Nazis did with these people.

      Pretty sure they were the second to go to the camps, after the Communists and Socialists, and before the Jews.

    This didn’t just start, seniors trying to live on Social Security is why they are the fastest growing segment of the homeless population. And if you’re unaware, Biden had continued Social Security and Medicare privatization plans that Trump had put into effect. Fucking over the elderly and the population in general is bipartisan.

    Define “survive”

    Humans are incredibly resilient but at the same time yes, more of them will end up homeless and some will likely die before they would otherwise have.

    That being said most people won’t care, because the ones that will end up in the worst situations are the ones without family or friends to even be aware it’s happening.

    I dunno, remind me, how many were caught up in the purposefully sandbagged and ineptly mismanaged Global Viral Pandemic response? Were there outsized numbers of the disabled and elderly caught on the wrong side of Trump’s incoherent actions? It was worse than anyone could have predicted it could be, we thought American democratic guardrails in the security space would manage the moron, and they couldn’t

    Nothing is going to happen to social security, at least for the old people. If you’re in your 30s or less, it might not exist by the time you’re eligible, but that has little to do with trump.

    If they would survive a Harris presidency, they would survive the orange one. There are many other resources out there such as food banks and free clinics. The same chicken little bs went around when Hillary lost yet we didn’t die.___

      …uhhhhh, so you’re just going to pretend like trump didn’t just completely ignore the pandemic, which directly led to over a million deaths in 2 years?

      So yes. We DID die. A large number of people died.

          Yes, and the policies set by trump ALSO were set in 2020.

          Do you have a calender?

          Do you have a point?

      A lot of people died who didn’t need to, in the United States, during the pandemic of 2020, due to a certain orange jackass making basic mask wearing into a political statement, instead of a matter of human decency to each other.

      We’re here to post about. Others are not.

          A guy who wants the death of many people and goes more and more insane/senile being put at the head of a country after multiple comments admitting that he’d like to form a dictatorship is, for you, the same as an averagely crappy politician being elected?

          At Hitler’s election would you have said “heh, minorities had it hard before, but they’ll survive” too?

            Did I say anything is the same? I said his first presidency was survived and this one will be too. All you guys are posting is hyperbolic bs. Step back, take a deep breath, drink a cup of coffee or tea, or smoke a joint and practice some perspective.

              Ah yes sorry, you said that Trump was actually less or equal of a threat for survival than Harris.

              “If it was possible with A, then it is possible with B” implies that B is less restrictive than A. Which in this case means that you said that surviving Harris is more/as hard as surviving Trump.

              You can’t do the “it’s not what I said, calm down bro” lie on a written conversation.

                  You did, and if it wasn’t intentional then you’re the one needing a better education. Actually, this is probably so basic that it’s not usually taught.
