The President put the GOP on blast. He cornered them about Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid.
And, they have been mad ever since.
They are so used to Democrats giving them “the benefit of the doubt”, so that they can pretend that they say they want to do isn’t REALLY as bad as it appears.😒😒😒🙄🙄
Republicans were so mad at President Biden during the SOTU about getting called out about Social Security and Medicare and yet…… https://t.co/kXbtAGNgYd

"For people who are in their 20s, their life expectancy will probably be 85 to 90. Does it really make sense to allow someone who's in their 20s today to retire at 62?"

It should also be noted, per the Social Security Administration, "you are entitled to full benefits when you reach your full retirement age. If you delay taking your benefits from your full retirement age up to age 70, your benefit amount will increase."https://t.co/tNrcU11sf5

That's exactly it. Biden forced them to articulate their disgusting policies instead of dog-whistling for the base.

They were always planning to root for failure. Oh they tried to couch it in terms of "what if Biden is a complete failure" but we know what they meant. And their actions shows exactly what we thought. And their minions got the message. pic.twitter.com/m9pZcDAN2Q

It’s really impossible to explain to the rest of the nation what is happening here. It’s not hyperbolic to say DeSantis and his sycophants are building an independent fascist state here.

They hate us as much as their white counterparts do.
But they will do backflips for white people to excuse and apologize for them.
It is what it is.
