After Trump Threatened To Cut Medicare And Social Security, Here’s How Americans Are Reacting

5.

“I’m a stage 4 cancer patient on SSDI, Medicaid, and SNAP. I paid into these programs up until my diagnosis, and I need to fucking benefit from them or I will literally die. I just came from the thread about how they’re canceling SNAP for the month of November because of the shutdown. I didn’t fucking vote for this.”

“I already have to supplement my government assistance with GoFundMe donations and have for the last 2 years. Now I’m not going to eat for the month of November, and if they take away Medicaid, I’m literally just going to fucking die. Fuck every single piece of shit who voted for this. 

It doesn’t even make me feel good to know that they’re going to suffer along with me. Nobody deserves this. And they’re just going to blame the Democrats anyway. This is so fucked up. So, so fucked up. God, I haven’t been this angry in years, and I’m not looking forward to the moment the rage fades and the panic and desperation set in.”
