1. Every time a Democrat is in front of a microphone they should mention the end of Social Security.

The vast majority of the MAGA crowd will require it if they make it to old age while filled with all that hate.

[OldBaldy1701E]

3. Yes, but by and large they are just too removed from reality to realize they will need it. (n/t)

[Ferrets are Cool]

4. It IS the one issue that no American will let stand.

I don't know a single person that doesn't want SS to be there when they retire. Yes, they may bitch about it when asked, but they still want it there when needed.

6. Exactly

I love the "solutions" that nimrods like Scott dream up. If you get enough donkey's to vote for this kind of nonsense, you are going to cause all kinds of complicated issues. Unfortunately the republicans zeal for THEIR wallet goes unabated.

23. "should mention the end of Social Security." THIS and the big tax break TFG gave to the

1% billionaires in our country...
Raise their taxes b4 doing ANYTHING about raising taxes on the lower income people... Last I looked the Median household income was $67,521 in 2020
Nail the millionaires first.. they can afford it.. not us.. Oh wait!
Most in congress are millionaire lawyers so not much will be done.. I always wondered why people vote like the 1% when they are not in their "club".. Own the libs I guess...

2. End legal abortion a social security?

That’s pretty god dammed dumb.

[CurtEastPoint]

7. what does this mean?

[NoMoreRepugs]

5. This will not help little Marco here in Florida.

I honestly believe his seat just became tenuous.

[Baitball Blogger]

11. +1

[ancianita]

17. Rubio scores only 7% by the Alliance for Retired Americans. FL retirees should know that.

[czarjak]

8. Republicans are the party of the rich, republican policies only benefit the rich...

If you vote republican and you're not rich, you're slitting your own throat. Period.

[The Jungle 1]

9. Yes the right does want to end SS and Medicare.

They are also actively working to destroy public education.
At some point the rest of the nation will have to open their eyes.]

[Wounded Bear]

14. They've wanted to end both since they were implemented...nt

[PXR-5]

10. Fake news. /s

I live in a deep red area, when I bring up SS and Medicare they all say it's Democrats that want to end it.

They are all being gas lit.

The question is how to get the truth to them, they don't trust anything but FOX.

[lambchopp59]

19. Years of "more people trust Fox" brainwashing

I got the same anti-democrat nonsense while working a gig in deep-red Calaveras county... at first. Upon discovery that I was "one of them", none of the Trumper ilk spoke to me beyond work necessities, fortunately that was only one day per week. Can't talk sense into those determined to remain stuck in stupid.

[GoodRaisin]

26. That's it.

Republo-fascists project everything they want to do onto Democrats and the Magastupids eat it up.

[Samrob]

12. Remember, the GOP has been working on this agenda since before Roe. Ever since FDR! nt

[ancianita]

13. Thanks! Val Demings should put this front & center in her FL campaign against Rubio.

There are too many Republican voters who'd hatehatehate to lose their Social Security down here.

[dlk]

15. Sunset is such a benign word

Republicans want to kill Social Security and Medicare, and thousands upon thousands of seniors, as well. They are the party of death and destruction.

[halfulglas]

16. Even those that haven't come for this plan will eventually cave.

Remember there was a time when other bills like voting rights and others that needed renewal at intervals sailed through Senate and Congress and no one could envision them not passing - then Republican votes kept dropping and dropping and now bills that need renewed will need to get Democratic supermajority to get passed.

Yes, even in Democratic states many Republicans believe Democrats will not protect Social Security.

[BadgerMom]

18. Trumpet it from the rooftops!

[housecat]

20. Get the messages out to right-wing news, blogs, neighborhoods.Democrats need no convincing

[onethatcares]

21. I've been retired and collecting mine

for 8 years now couldn't live without it and medicare because manual labor jobs I worked throughout my life didn't have 401ks or retirement plans just what you could save when time were good in order to spend it when times were bad.

When I talk to others in these jobs they're always counting the time til they can retire and including SS in what they will have to live on at that time.

It's time to wake them up.

[Gamecock Lefty]

22. Maybe I'm just a cynic . . .

but Republicans will never pay a price for this. They are never held accountable by the same standards we Dems are.

And with high inflation and high gas prices they can pretty much do whatever they want and get away with it because nobody seems to care if our rights are taken away when we’re paying high gas prices.

They’d rather have low gas prices and no jobs created than the opposite. Jobs created, an infrastructure plan – who cares, gas prices are high! Kick out the Dems and bring in the Repubs.

That seems to be our world now. I don't think they would be so emboldened if inflation and gas prices weren't so damn high.

[Rebl2]

24. Democrats

in office as well as the President and VP need to talk about this every time they speak to the public and make sure the public is REALLY hearing this message! They also need to call out these republicans by name that back these plans!

[Phoenix61]

25. Val Deings needs to push Marco's position on this, hard.

It’s such a give me to her.

[MurrayDelph]

27. Ronna will cheer ANYTHING the party puts forward

If party leadership suggested shooting off your big toe, Ronna would praise it as a brilliant way to wear narrower shoes.
