You lose the senior vote as the GOP, you’re fucked.
Yes, we’ve another two years, and it’s becoming more clear this is why they’re speedrunning.
But this is … I don’t know if self-immolation or Ouroboros is more apt.
They want to get rid of them then tank the economy so they can claim we can’t afford them. The rich are engineering a major crash. With this level of concentration of wealth, they can buy up a massive amount of assets on the cheap. Then their Network State plans will keep their assets fluid. Wouldn’t be surprised if Musk’s meddling was about directly stealing social security assets to boot. This is all just a big theft of the boomer generations assets. It’s going to get real ugly.
There seems a very high, unconsidered risk of backlash. Like, this sort of shit indicates 2026 is off the table for elections.
If there are still elections.
I’m seeing that they are abandoning seniors, possibly in the hope that they die off in the upcoming bird flu and coronavirus outbreak.
Claiming another outbreak from this particular source is disingenuous. The source material literally says:
The study itself noted that the virus has significantly less binding affinity to human ACE2 than SARS-CoV-2, and other suboptimal factors for human adaptation suggest the “risk of emergence in human populations should not be exaggerated.”
Ugh, Reuters, I trusted you.
That’s the final graf of the story you linked to.
But you didn’t. You didn’t even read the article

Idk… I am so mad at my asshole boomer in-laws, my shitty clueless friends (predominantly white but not completely), and even my partner and his bro friends that I’m just like… whatever. I think it needs to fall hard. These people are beyond rescuing. I am so sick of everyone. I don’t wish ill will on the rest of us, though. I’ve just run out of empathy for the majority.
I won’t say that they’re too smart for that (lol), but this administration has been known to walk back major policy changes after powerful interest groups object. See also: H1B visas.
