In reply to the discussion: Why does Trump win over rural America? Why will the young take to the streets yet choose not to vote [View all]Mick Travis
(106 posts)46. SSI, Medicare, and USPS - Are gone if Trump is re-elected. This message must be hammered home.
You would think this would immediately end Trump's rule.
We must hammer this message home every day until the election. The young don't care much because SSI and Medicare might very well be gone before they can ever use them, but the elderly and those near retirement age in rural America...in ALL America... need to hear this. The Trump supporters out there think he's so perfect he'd never do that. After all, he's one of them. They think. If they knew these things might be in danger and it actually got through the web of cult propaganda, they'd finally wake up and vote the useless fucker out. Out on his ear, where the good guys would be waiting with handcuffs to take the crime family away for good.
