28. We are told every election it is the most important

Dec 2024

election ever. They tell us they will cut SS, Medicare, Medicade, the ACA etc. Did the wolf come this time or will it just be same bullshit in
2028? I kind of think the public just gets tired of it and tunes it out. I haven't watched a news program since the election. Just like today I read a CNN reporter said he was sorry they never covered problems with Biden's age. That is all the fuck they talked about was Biden's age.
