"We won't touch Medicaid" says Trump and co., behold the incoming cuts to Medicaid! : LeopardsAteMyFace

we're about to witness 1995 again lol. for those unaware, 1995 was considered the conservative revolution led by newt gingrich, where conservatives for the first time in a long time were gaining ground in congress. the problem is they did this by pretending they weren't going to gut social safety nets (or the people voting for them, as usual, didn't actually know what they stood for.)

new gingrich was routed and absolutely fricking dunked by bill Clinton on social security and ended up being exiled from mainstream republican politics. then along comes Bush with his "compassionate" conservatism as a response to the GOP brand becoming toxic after they attacked healthcare and social security.

conservatives always do better when people aren't reminded what they stand for, once they're in power and actually try to put into place conservative policy the backlash starts, as most people, even rural voters enjoy their government programs.
