6. Their "big beautiful reconciliation bill" they try and ram through will set the line

They destroy Medicaid and the ACA expansion in that bill and they will get trounced in the midterms and 2028 like never seen before. A lot of what you're seeing now is designed distraction, because the main focus for these barbarians in those trillions in tax cuts for the ruling class. It's doubtful they can pull it off on the back of Medicaid. There's already deep rumblings from the small moderate faction that remains in the Republican Party that it's a no go. They might try tinkering around the edges with their bullshit "work requirements" again but that's an administrative nightmare that will cost them more than it's worth. If they fuck with Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid in a big way on the receiving side, rather than the administrative side, these fuckers won't win another election for decades. And any sane Republican that remains in Congress knows it. These programs are inviolate to the majority of the American people despite the dumbasses that voted for the authoritarian clown. It's a major line in the sand if they want to survive as a Party.
