Wow! You think? Lol. No *$^%ing ****, sherlock! I said NOTHING to the contrary.
Thank you. You just illustrated the lack of reasoning of most of America, about which I was speaking. I said nothing about SS being an entitlement, but you clearly assumed I did.
That's the same way "people will hear" (as I said very plainly) that they will be affected by "decreasing govt spending" when it isn't necessarily true. All the left has to do is say it on CNN, just like Shapiro saying Tucker is antisemitic on Fox, or just like RINO pundits saying the admin is failing at messaging. Doesn't need to be true in order for people to overreact to it.
Every election the dems accuse the republican candidate of planning to cut their social security payments. No one has ever done that since Clinton raised the SS tax base from 50-85% of SS income and WITHOUT bipartisan support. Al Gore had to cast the deciding vote to get that increase passed because Dems didn't have enough to pass it.
It's about what/how they hear things that raises the threat level to them personally. Reason frequently is cast aside.
