Hahahahahaha, you think they’re going to realize they got scammed for even one second? Nah, Fox&Friends will tell them that Medicaid got drained by brown illegal alien babies and that these cuts are actually Saving America™
Yeah, OP’s take has always sounded pretty psychopathic to me. I feel the same about, “We deserve to be wiped out by climate change,” even though a small minority of the world population created a large majority of the greenhouse gases. If climate change only wiped out fossil fuel execs, maybe that would be deserved.
Yeah it sucks for everyone affected, but I voted against the idiot that wanted to do it. However, quite a few others voted for him - against their own interests - and won’t listen to reason. Medicaid is usually considered part of that “third rail” of politics - touch it and you get electrocuted politically, but here we are.
Ahh yes, dumb people are too stupid to make the right choices so they deserve whatever is coming to them. The important thing is that we don’t blame the systems that misinform people because it’s the fault of the individual for being misinformed. /s
In my religion (work in progress, soon to be revealed to humankind, these things take time, stone tablets are back-ordered), one of the commandments is “don’t be a rube.” Another is “don’t be a soft target.” Clearly, exceptions apply for mental defectives and those who are unable to learn to defend themselves. But most people can and should take steps. These commandments are based on the historical observation that societies with high barriers to exploitation are more just.
Instead of viewing it as victim-blaming, consider it a useful form of self-help. And, like vaccination, the wider the adoption, the greater the “herd immunity” against lying fascists.

So as long as it “hurts the right people” you’re happy?
Even though it hurts the “wrong people” too?

What am I supposed to do?

I would like to hear what you think we should do.
