Is the Implosion Underway?

It's a legitimate question

Since the beginning of the hellscape, I’ve contended that the fascist regime will overreach, and end up massively pissing off their voters, and the worm will turn.

We are starting to see it happen.

Here are some numbers from MSNBC.

Remember, while candidate polling is often wrong, issue polling is reasonably accurate. And these numbers show movement in the correct direction. They will only grow as MORE MAGA-voters lose their jobs and benefits.

My guess is that this week, as the House is looking at eviscerating Medicaid, people will end up caring MORE. It means not only a loss of services for the poor, but also the elderly, and will have the multiplier impact of affecting hospitals, doctors, labs and other parts of the healthcare system, and costing everyone receiving services not covered by Medicaid MORE¹. Details on impacts here.

The vote on the budget this week is becoming even more fraught. It turns out (“what a surprise”, she wrote with dripping sarcasm) that about 24% (or one out of four people) is on Medicaid AND that House Republicans are waking up to this. In one district, over 60% of the population is on Medicaid. Last week, I asked you to write to your Democratic reps to ask them to vote NO on the budget, and I had a framework for the letter. Link. Since there are now GOP reps who are on the fence (link) if you live in a Republican district, especially the 10 listed in the link, PLEASE help dissuade your reps from voting for the budget.

James Carville is convinced the tide is turning. While I agree with his bottom line, I disagree that we should just wait it out. I think we need to message. So, if anyone is on TikTok, and can create a fun little song and dance about what is in the budget bill, PLEASE contact me - I can’t do content creation - but I know information you could put out in a video. I hear TikTok is where we need to reach people.

There’s also this:

U.S. consumer sentiment dropped more than expected in February to a 15-month low and inflation expectations rocketed as households worried that President Donald Trump's plans for steep and broad-based tariffs would eat into their purchasing power. Source.

Click on that same source citation, and you’ll see that people are anticipating an increase in inflation. Read that again: ALLLLLLL those people who voted for Von Shitzenpants because he’d “lower prices on day one” now understand his policies are driving costs up.

The street protests are having an impact. In addition to all the government protests, there have been nationwide protests outside of Tesla dealerships. Remember, Elmo’s money comes from his Tesla stock. As an aside, Tesla stock is down 16% this year, and some are projecting it may drop in half this year. His sales are also tanking worldwide. Never forget that Elmo is in this for the money, he couldn’t care less about “government efficiency”. Remember that it’s Elmo Muskrat that’s in charge - and people REALLY hate him. THE ORANGE MENACE HAS DEMENTIA and people keep forgetting this. He’s becoming more of an animated bobblehead that spews whatever words show up on the Neuralink loop they’ve put in his brain. Think about it….²

People are showing up at REPUBLICAN Congressional Town Halls, and taking no nonsense from their reps. They are also attending Democratic Congressional Town Halls and asking their reps to do more to stop the regime.

To the best of my knowledge, none of you are on Twitter. I still lurk on Twitter and I’m seeing A LOT of buyer’s remorse, with specific reasons related to WHY they are kicking themselves for voting for the Convicted Felon.

Some Democratic leaders are stepping up. Governor Janet Mills (ME-D) said “See you in court” to the Convicted Felon. Governor JB Pritzker (IL -D) used his budget address to attack the undertakings of the fascist regime, saying things like:

Only an idiot would think we should eliminate emergency response in a natural disaster, education and healthcare for disabled children.

And comparing the regime to the Nazis:

I do not invoke the specter of Nazis lightly. I'm watching with a foreboding dread what is happening in our country right now.

Senator Bernie Sanders (VT - I), and Congresswomen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY 14-D) and Jasmine Crockett (TX 30 - D) have been out and talking. And you should see what Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff and others are saying on Twitter. Hopefully they will move their words into action, and vote down the GOP budget bill.

Still waiting to hear from the Obamas, the Clintons, Biden and Harris who are uncharacteristically silent.

To me, it FEELS like the ground is starting to shift.

PLEASE remember to contact your Reps about the budget because Mike is going to try and bring it to the floor tomorrow.

1. Without Medicaid, hospital ERs are still required to treat emergencies. When they absorb the costs, they raise prices to cover it.

2. I have no idea if it’s true that Elmo put a Neurolink in Von Shitzenpants’ brain. But I wouldn’t be surprised. You can probably get a lot for $288 million.
