What MAGA doesn’t understand is that by supporting Billionaires, Trump, Musk, Putin, they have lost.
Their lives will only get worse
Wealthy people don’t care about the price of gas, groceries, etc
These meaningless culture wars distracted them. That was the plan. They are the ones who will suffer.

Schumer led Senate Democrats in fighting Trump over healthcare, period.
If you think Senate leaders can control members of their caucus, you don’t know much about the Senate. And before you say “McConnell,” remember why we still have the ACA when Trump and McConnell wanted it gone.
