I’m not saying the GOP won’t do it but getting mad before anything happens will create a avenue of attack for the GOP or make you look dumb when it doesn’t happen.
If the left gets in the habit of calling foul before anything is done when the actual bad news hits it will be less impactful.
Normally I would say let it be but with how much the GOP depend on voters in their party that benefit from Medicaid they are actively trying to soften the blow for when they actually do it.
This issue is a powder keg and if we flinch before it goes off we put ourselves in the blast zone.

What’s there to do? It’s well within their power.
I’m currently not of the mindset that the left and the right can continue to have democratic respect for each other. We are at war. Power no longer is not about legitimacy, but about victory. Norms and rule of law are clearly over. An insurrectionist isn’t even constitutionally allowed to be president. Nothing is sacred.
So it’s not really about if they have the power or not, we need to be focused on getting power back and preventing mass death and slavery of the working class. And we won’t get that power back via the system as it exists, because it’s been captured.
“It’s well within their power.” What do you mean by that? That eliminating Medicaid is an acceptable decision? How in your right mind could you come to that conclusion?
“What’s there to do?” Revolt
Ok, turbo, there’s plenty of things to revolt over. Empty threats to cut Medicaid aren’t one of them. They do this shit all the time while trying to make the opposition take the heat AND IT WORKS. Every time they shut down the government. It’s a larger strategy to make leftist look reactionary and that is why corporate owned sites like reddit love pushing the narrative that the GOP is one step away from taking away entitlements.
The only flaw I can see with your argument is that they currently are one step away and they have an incredible history of taking from us
I’m telling you, they will shoot themselves in the foot doing it and they know it. So if they put the heat on the left and point at us for being reactionary they can slink away for a few news cycles and blow up it in the background. Then no one will pay attention to it because they’ve already blew their load chastising lefties.
Don’t believe me, look who’s pushing the narrative. Your favorite ghouls. Nancy Polsei and Biden administration people. Not that they are malicious just they are predictable and the Republicans have been playing them for years.
I think people aren’t really getting what you’re trying to say but you’re right.
