The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope is smart.

Yes, if Liberals make it about illegals, well, they will "GARCIA!" this issue also.


For now I'd just nicely warn that the Republican Health Care system is going to mean longer waits, higher copays, and monthly payments going on.

(See people? no big bullshit language. People - UNDERSTAND copays, long waits.....and the moneyshot - monthly paymemts)

For starters, SOME voters will eventually blame the Republican Health System for even INNOCENT co-pays and waits.

And that's the appetizer.

Let the monthly premium sticker shock set in not just for thte voters BUT for the businesses enjoying customers who have a few more dollars to spend. Do you think $75-$900 per month makes a difference in spending habits? Hell yes- for people NOT on TMF and Bogle boards - it DOES.

Don't do the illegal aliens thing. Shut up about it. Democrats should for now just warn about the Republican Health System's copays and long wait times going UP --- and then - hone the message (Begala, Carville, and some more modern ones)....and use Medicaid in Red States AND higher ACA monthly payments in Swing States.

Ok, let me show you Liberals how to stay on message:

Hey, Trumo just nuked Detroit there's fallout all over the great lakes. Your answer: "The Republican Health System is gonna cause long waits, more co-pays"

Hey, your Mother talks in her sleep, and loves anal. Your answer: "The Republican Health System is gonna cause long waits, more co-pays"

And eventually....

There's Breaking News with live video of Trump shitting on the American flag and blowing the Saudi King. Your answer "The Republican Health Plan is raising people's monthly payments AND causing longer waits and more co-pays"

If anyone doesn;t follow this - fire his ass from Dem politics.

And Republicans who SUPPORT the changes - BRAG! Call it the Vance Health Scheme into 2028.

WAIT----FINAL CHANGE. NO SYSTEM. CALL IT "THE REPUBLICAN HEALTH SCHEME" ---- holy shit i'm good.
