How can 71% of Republican voters oppose cuts to Medicaid, while 100% of House Republicans just voted to make cuts to Medicaid?

Because billion dollar corporations and their owners pay politicians, to vote in their best interest, and against ours.

Campaign finance reform.

He is clearly aiming to harm just about everyone. Every institution, govt research, schools, farms, hospitals.

He's his own COVID-19. A threat to everyone.

Either he will snap. Or we will snap. But this isn't sustainable for 4 years.
