And by “entitlements” they mean things you have bought and paid for through payroll taxes, like Medicare and Social Security.
They tell you that democrats are coming for your guns and while you are distracted they come for your healthcare, your pension. They tell you democrats are coming for your pancake mix and while you are distracted the come for your schools. They tell you democrats are committing voter fraud and while you are distracted they not only commit voter fraud but gut voting rights. They tell you democrats are coming for your stove and while you are ranting they close your libraries. They tell you hordes of immigrants are coming for your jobs and that is the democrats fault, then they refuse to raise the minimum wage and hire the immigrants to put you out of work.   
They distract you with outrage over the sexual orientation of cartoon M&Ms while ensuring you make less money, don’t have the protection of unions, have no health care , can no longer easily vote and are too uneducated to notice or do anything about it. >

The republicans don't care. You remember how the right spent decades slowly assembling the pieces to overturn Roe? Aided by murky organizations with seemingly unlimited funds? The gutting of the social safety net is exactly the same. Wealthy corporations and individuals do NOT want to keep paying for the poor and seniors.
They see what's coming and are determined to end the so called "entitlements". The republicans have concluded that if they can fullfil their master's wish of killing Medicare, Medicaid and greatly reducing Social Security they won't have to worry about elections anymore. They will just be the ruling party forever. And the Supreme Court will not only allow it but make it possible. >

The GOP is not going to end entitlements. It’s why you never see them pull this shit when they control both chambers of Congress and the White House (like they did from 2017-2019). They pull this shit now because it feeds red meat to a certain portion of their base, and all the while they know that the Dems will block it so that the GOP never has to deal with any of the fallout from this actually happening. >

I will just rebut your assertion by saying this. Look back at the two republican speakers of the last ten years. Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy have both led with "entitlement reform". Why? Because their donors have hammered them over and over again with cutting the safety net. The republicans are going to work very, very hard to make the federal budget look untenable. I'll show you how:
- Step 1: Fight the debt ceiling raise as if it is the death of the republic.
- Step 2: Bombard every right wing "news" outlet with disinformation stating that:
✓ The democrats have spent too much and we are in debt! (Nevermind that it's not true)
✓ We can't keep spending "your great-great-great grandchildten's future"!
✓ We are weaker because we spend "soooooo much on entitlements".
✓ Just like you've had to cut back due to "democratic inflation" it's time for the government to do the same! (Except for the DOD budget)
- Step 3: Activate Tea Party 2.0. Yeah, the idiots with teabags on their heads. They are not gone.
- Step 4: Wealthy corporations and individuals will bemoan the high taxes and say it's killing growth. (Nevermind their astronomical profit taking and paltry hiring)
- Step 5: Retake the Senate and Presidency in 2024 and restart the cycle all over again.
- Step 6: Gut Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. >


We can't keep spending "your great-great-great grandchildten's future"!

It's a good thing that tax cuts for the wealthy will fix climate change, or I might have been worried about those kids and their future. >

Don't even get me started. They've planned for their children. Just not the rest of us. >

They’ve not done that either. They think they have but they’re too stupid to realize that destroying the very institutions that give their wealth power will leave their children with nothing to offer and no will or ability to survive in that scenario. >

Nah.
The GOP finally realized that this is finally the right time to fatten up their fat cats.
The time of George Santosian voters are here!
Stupid shits do not realize their own self interests are at stakeband vote for GOP because they hate minorities, gays or Obama or Hillary Clinton or China flu or something.
Like this guy;
“Of course it bothers me,” Daniel Zimmerman, a 70-year-old registered Democrat, told POLITICO as he left a local pharmacy Thursday in Great Neck, a waterfront enclave in the heart of the district. But, he added, he’d vote for Santos again. “Right now I’m a Republican because Democrats, they’re destroying our country. I don’t like the president,”
"Keep gubment hands off my social security and medicare."
"Federal deficit will be eliminated if cut off all those free money to illegals"
"Get what you really deserve. No charges or little charges to you when you get Viagra, fuck the medicare" >

It is a dream. MSNBC spends far too much time telling us that the Republican Party is dying. Nonsense. Voter turnout for Republicans in 2022 was a new record high--exactly the opposite thing as dying. We had better be prepared to get everyone we can to vote against Republicans in 2024--because voter turnout for Democrats plummeted by about nine million votes from 2018's record. >

Just wait until they try passing a Federal abortion ban. Remember what happened to the Democrats in the 1850s when they became too internally divided over just how extreme to be over slavery. The groundwork for that to happen is already here in that internal factions within the GOP now have conflicting incentive structures.
Also, they just lost state legislative chambers, governorships, secretary of state races, and came dangerously close to losing a whole bunch of “safe” seats in what should have been a walkover victory for them.
Make no mistake. These elections were very bad for the Republican Party on a structural level. >

Yeah, the backlash on the overturning of RvW was interesting to me. They were the dog who caught the car and didn't know what to do with it. All of them seemed to think they'd be cheered and heralded as saviors only to find it was deeply unpopular and only supported by the most extreme and ardent members of their base. Some tried to backtrack and float stricter limits like 15 weeks or say they want more exceptions because abortion is when you willingly take a life, so instances of babies who haven't formed brains or who have severe genetic defects that won't let them live aren't what they're talking about, no, not those abortions which...they're now trying to say aren't really abortions!
Problem is they made their bed with extremists who view any abortion at any point as murder, so that's going to be a much harder line for them to get people to toe than they think. Meanwhile the other side of things now has a much easier time arguing with them over the matter because of all the horror stories that came out within days of the repeal.
Now their options are to try and get their base to be more reasonable, or do whatever they can to maintain power, and the latter is likely the easier option for them given the stranglehold they have on politics in a lot of places. >

The latter is unworkable for them now, as far as I can tell. They’ve lost control of too many state legislatures for it to work, and their divisions within others, and at the Federal level are becoming very nasty.
Their “stranglehold” isn’t as tight as some people think in a lot of places, and they completely lack a stranglehold on the Federal level.
The people of Kansas have spoken, but many Republican legislators refuse to hear it while others realize they need to change course if they want to be reelected.
Now imagine the same thing happening in Congress. The extremists will dig in their heels or else lose reelection, while more vulnerable members will be forced into a “moderate” position.
Indeed, their failure to pass a platform in 2020 is, I think, a dead giveaway about the party’s weakness. Had they been a party capable of establishing a dictatorship, they would have been able to pass a platform and would have done so. Instead they pinned all their hopes on a scam artist, which only papered over the cracks.
The number of ballots it’s taken to elect a Speaker is another symptom of this deeper problem for them, and sooner or later they are going to have to face reality. 
When they do, I think they will self-destruct as their factions try conflicting methods of saving their own tails. >

Well here in Ohio it's kinda feeling hopeless. The Democratic party here basically seems to not really give a shit, and even though roughly 45% of voters vote blue Republicans basically control something like 75% of the state and federal positions. They even submitted illegal maps for new districts and were told several times to redraw them fairly, only to basically submit the same map over and over again until time ran out and the courts said they can stand but only through 2024. Not a single one of them was held in contempt.
The recent vote for a new Speaker is definitely telling, but for the moment I'm concerned about the concessions McCarthy made to get the votes he needed to secure the gavel. >

So? It’s amazing how many people respond to me mentioning gerrymanders as if I were somehow not aware of their existence.
Of course they’d do something like that. I’m not surprised in the least. My expectations are predicated on several assumptions, one of which is that they will continue doing exactly these sorts of things.
But gerrymanders have been overcome time and again throughout US history. Opposition parties have won even on the most unfair maps. Gerrymanders depend on certain assumptions made at the time of their enactment continuing to hold. There are many mechanisms by which these can be rendered irrelevant, such as non-voters registering en masse and voting, or a spit in one’s own party, or a sudden realignment of a portion of one’s base, and so forth.
Indeed, Republicans just lost what was supposed to be a “safe” seat on Ohio’s gerrymandered US House map.
Gerrymanders improve the probability of victory for a time while assumptions hold. They are not an absolute guarantee of victory.
The fact that Democrats are not even bothering to run candidates means that now is a perfect opportunity to go in and start taking over their withered party apparatuses all over the state.
The Republicans want you to think it’s hopeless because that plays into their hands.
So, now’s the time to start working to turn the tables against them. Blue Dots In a Red Sea is a good starting place for information on the sorts of strategies to engage in.
McCarthy’s concessions may seem to favor the Freedom ~~Party~~ Caucus for now, but they are still a small minority of the House as a whole, and they have made the Speaker far more beholden to the floor as a whole, which is something Democrats can exploit at various opportune moments when they arise. 
Yes, things will get tough for a while, and yes, plenty of extremists are now chairing committees, but I still see this as akin to the position Democrats were in in the 1850s. Remember, they went full-bore authoritarian then, too. >

I kinda' doubt it, honestly. Their base doesn't care how poorly the GOP governs, how much their terribly policies actually end up fucking them in the ass.  
As long as the GOP still hates black/gay/trans/atheist/woke/etc. people, the base will continue to vote for them. They'll be yelling "MAGA!" from the doors of their trailers until they die of diabetes. >

Not to mention every plan they float always has boomers being grandfathered in by saying like 54+ year olds will not be affected… but the rest of you who paid hundreds of thousands of dollars into the system over the majority of your career can fuck off. >

Ok then give every worker back every penny they paid into it with the interest that should have accrued had we been given the option of saving it in a savings account. In full. Immediately. And don’t take one more cent out of our paychecks. >

Anything to own the Libs and grift more cash. >

Cutting Social Security would be a huge mistake and would put a lot of seniors out on the street.  A little over 40% of retirees have no savings and only have Social Security to live on.  Also, if these "entitlements" are reduced, don't expect that the GQP will reduce what they take out of your paychecks.  They will just redirect that money to help the wealthy and large corporations.  VOTE THESE CLOWNS OUT OF OFFICE!  
EDIT: Words >

My parents who were democrats while I was growing up. Retired and now are republican and voting for people who literally want to take away benefits from them. Makes ZERO sense! They cannot live if social security is cut at all >

They'll target those who are due those entitlements in 10 - 15 years. The retirees who are already getting them won't be impacted, but those same retirees will happily vote for their own children to not get them, all in the name of being "fiscally conservative."

How many things have been called "political death for the GOP" and yet they still keep persisting?
Being a Republican is a sincerely held belief for them. They won't have an "are we the baddies?" moment.
And the GOP is fully committed to an autocratic permanent minority rule as evidenced by MOORE v HARPER.
As soon as that is decided 6-3 for Moore, all of the Republican majority legislature states are going to give themselves the power to vacate election results with just the allegation of irregularities. There about 30 of these states, enough to just give their candidate the presidency. >

No they aren't.  All they have is call it something else, and their idiot voters will fall for it.

Social security is not an entitlement.  it's payback of monies paid by workers over many years. >

Let’s start by not calling them ‘entitlements’ .. this is a system we pay into. >

Some entitlements you get is social security.  So as a worker you and your business are paying into this fund that helps you when you’re 69/72ish.  You get to draw on it.  They want to end social security. Also clean water, air, food.  Those are also entitlements. Huge populations of Homelessness was created when banking system collapsed in 2008 creating many of the people we are living in tents in our woods these days.  After the mortgage and bank frauds of 2001-2008 this was a way to take your property. Remember who was president then.  A Republican. >

If you vote Republican, you shouldn’t be able to claim Medicare or Social Security. Those are socialism, right? >

If current social security and Medicare recipients aren’t willing to give theirs up, why the fuck should anyone else? >

Because it’s evil socialism. The type the GOP is heroically trying to save us from. You’re not suggesting that republicans are unprincipled, are you? If I know the GOP, their values are paramount and they would never be nakedly hypocritical or opportunistic. >

For fuck sake. They aren’t entitlements. We pay into them! >

Average senior GOP Voter: the Republicans didn't take my Social Security or Medicare that was the Democrats. The Republicans took the entitlements away from all those people who don't work anyway. I earned my Social security. >

Social security is NOT an entitlement. Workers pay into it and they are able to benefit from their deposits. >

Maybe not totally, but if you're in the boomer generation or older, you paid less into the system and will likely get more out of the system. If you were born in 1950 you would have only been taxed at 9% between employer and employer contributions and it's only a better ratio for generations before that.
GenX and younger will all pay a higher rate (the current 13% between employee and employer) and will be more likely to face cuts to benefits.  We do need to start making adjustments now or GenX and younger will all be screwed even worse. >

It will destroy the Republican Party while having zero chance of becoming law. But, oh well. >

Zero chance? This is totally something I could see ending up as some sort of concession in some “must pass” bill that democrats will go on to tout as bipartisan victory.
Don’t forget what just happened with the rail-workers strike. There is no left-wing power in this country, only right and further right. There are no progressives. There is the conservative wing and the regressing wing. >

how will this work?
If for some reason, the democrats agree and allow the legislation to pass, and all those cuts get enacted, how will the 'red' maga americans react when they see their precious benny's dry up?

They probably figure this is their only shot at wrecking SS and Medicare. Which is why I think they will be more than willing to wreck the global economy. No folding this time.
And they'll totally ignore their corporate donors. 
There is an ever-so-slight chance some Rs will defect over...but man, am I not optimistic.

What an absurd statement. They’ve been doing this for how many years? They’re still around because their base would rather be upset about who can get married or use a bathroom. >

Doubtful. GOP members could literally burn down the Social Security Administration building in DC live on Fox News and the average GOP voter would be like "ITS BIDENS FAULT BECAUSE HE DIDN'T STOP THEM!" >

The base, many of them who are collecting social security and on Medicare, won't care if the GQP totally eliminates the programs if it means "owning the libs". >

Well, it would help if the media stopped using GOP speak. 
They are not “entitlements.” They are earned benefits that we fucking paid into. Some of us, since we were teenagers.  It’s our own money they want to steal from us. >

They could end medicare and social security and their constituents will blame Biden. >

Political death? I guess the author hasn't met GOP voters. >

A mailing list of registered Republicans can be purchased for not too much money. A mailing list of Medicare recipients can be purchased for not too much money. A cross-reference of those lists can be done in minutes. It costs about $0.50 per person to mass-print and bulk-mail a simple color postcard. There are approximately 64 million Medicare recipients, and probably about half are Republicans. That's about $16 million to do the entire country, but it could probably be targeted much finer and still be effective. >

Funny how Republicans claim to despise elites, except the elites on Wall Street who they think deserve access to Americans' Social Security and Medicare dollars.
On Wednesday's episode, Joy invited Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., to explain why Donalds' claim that Social Security is in danger of insolvency is nothing more than a tired GOP talking point.
Given Kevin McCarthy essentially relinquished his power to a faction of far-right lawmakers to win their support for the role of House speaker, it's entirely possible Republicans move forward with votes to slash Medicare and Social Security.

They are not flirting with anything.

GOP has nothing to worry about.
They will simply say "it's the Dems fault" and the average GOP voter will believe it.
