Trump voters are beyond hope [View all]

I interact with quite a few "God fearing" trumpers in daily life. Most of them when presented with the steep cuts to the social safety net are A-OK with it. This is because the previous President ran up the debt 'mericah is in and this one has to make deep cuts to balance the books. Also, they are a hundred and ten percent sure that the repeal of ACA will not affect them in the least because Trumpcare is meant to leave those "others" without subsidized medicines not patriots like them
