will they properly name it the "Going Backwards" bill?

No, they will just try convincing us to do purge-type scenarios to thin the herd. Make it difficult for us to put up a fight each go-around.

Whilst the poorer voters without income will be used as cannon fodder during fights under the ideal, this will be a potential leg up, trying to convince themselves they are heroes; that is, until their medical bills come due. Where they'll be left to restart the cycle with the government denying charges until they can barely stay above water.

It's a cycle humans love to fall for: believe in the monetary success you want to have and hope you'll win the lottery someday and be one. Aka: Fake it until you make it, and a robot replaces you.

"In the US, 3.5% of the population would be approximately 11.6 million people"

Sounds like wet fever dream for MAGAts. Poor people dying from sickness because they can’t get medical care.

Do people not see the desperation of this administration? Everything they do is driven by fear.
