I don't get the whole Medicaid thing.

It has been a policy of the GOP since it was introduced to abolish Medicaid.

Medicare they pretend to support.

No no no, they wanted to abolish oBaMaCaRe. Totally different thing. Obama is an evil commie, you know?

The lie worked the last 30 times, why wouldn't it work. This time?

During Biden's State of the Union address be told the world flat out that his opponents were trying to cut medicaid, and the Republicans all booed and heckled him and MTG stood up and yelled "LIAR!"

And Fox News told millions of people Biden was a liar, and facebook and twitter trolls told people the same.

It didn't matter that it was on record of every budget for 10 years they tried to cut medicaid, it didn't matter that they've wanted to cut taxes and eventually cut medicare for decades, because US Citizens don't read the Congressional records publicly available online. They only believe what they are told by voices they placed their trust in.

Sorry for wordwall
