I’m not saying the GOP won’t do it but getting mad before anything happens will create a avenue of attack for the GOP or make you look dumb when it doesn’t happen.

If the left gets in the habit of calling foul before anything is done when the actual bad news hits it will be less impactful.

Normally I would say let it be but with how much the GOP depend on voters in their party that benefit from Medicaid they are actively trying to soften the blow for when they actually do it.

This issue is a powder keg and if we flinch before it goes off we put ourselves in the blast zone.

    i have been calling out that some of these subreddits have been posting ragebait material, many of those sources are backed by RU too, cant people tell the difference? you can tell in a politcs sub/or adjacent, that the article people posting often have these kinds headlines “why isnt a dem doing this or that, or he or she is going to lose the election if they dont do this or that” these are one of the examples, furthermore alot of the mods are mostly right wing/powermods that own multiple subs too. theres almost mirror image between one of these subs and a conservative subs. and also banning is very nebelous in the subs too. they allow right wingers to astroturf the sub, only mildly banning some of them when they are called out, and the opposite almost gets an outright ban if you try to comment that is literally the same aggreement of the thread, or you are reporting one of the righties.

      It’s a uphill battle. Reddit so desperately wants to flip red and they plan on doing it by creating so much lefty disinfo that they will be indisguishable from the red hats and conservatives will just start shouting everything down.

        all those trump gaffes that are on all the post, if X is so bad, why do they keep reposting OOp, knowing that the oop is a “resistance grifter”.

        facebooks/youtube already does this, youtube allows it in a form anti-woke, ant-trans shorts. and i dont bother logging in to google.
