119th congress: must be at least 75 to chair a committee!

No. It is easily repairable:
1. Remove money from politics.
2. Draconian redistributory taxation to claw back everything the wealthy have stolen since the 1970s.
It's all salvageable: checks and balances, elections, democracy, the justice system. Just tax the fuck out of wealth. If the hoarders want to flee, good. We take everything and deport them to Sudan. It was good enough for the browns.
Do that, and let all the rest (infrastructure investment, election reform, social welfare spending, education, health care) play out in a free democratic arena, based on people's actual needs.
I can save America in a year. We've already got an absolute monarch. Just give me the crown and let me cook.

You can’t accomplish any of that electorally though. If anything is going to change materially it’s going to be done with the barrel of a gun and a lot of blood. And if it’s going to take that much then the deadbeats aren’t coming along for the ride. Split up the country and let those fuckers wallow in their own stupidity and ignorance.

We may not need to. The Medicaid cuts are going to destroy the free loader states that backfill their low taxes with Uncle Sugar. Not anymore, rubes. Seeing as the red states will never raise their own taxes to care for their populations, their death rates will explode.

Despite your best thoughts and prayers, it’s not going to change the electoral habits of those states in any significant way to enact the change needed.
Given the current standards of education in America, and especially in those states, it’s likely increasing the margins.

It will be extra fitting if the bill passes because of the 3 dead dem reps

Reps dont have that kind of influence...not on a state by state basis. Senators have way more clout.
As of now there is likely 2 nos Massie and the dude from Central Valley, California. (I believe highest percentage on Medicaid) If the Freedumb Caucus wants to prove they care about the budget at all (they do not like the Senate Bill) now is the time. Since they are chicken[bleep] though it won't matter. Just like the 3 dead Dems dont really matter. Trump gets what he wants.

Yep. I wish that was enough for me. I guess I will never be a Republican like my neighbor.

The Senator from Arkansas doesn't play up being a moderate. Murkowski does. She holds the power because she can theoretically win without MAGA if she tanks the bill. Its not rocket science.
And she wasn't the only one to get concessions anyways so your whole point is moot. When they tried that the Parliamentarian threw it out.

It's not just minorities, it's all poor people that Republicans enjoy screwing. They just convince Cleetus that since DeShaun is getting screwed too, it's cool.

This will be the biggest "touch the stove" moment so far...
And yea, I expect many of them to not give a rats ass about it since it's not quite directly influencing them directly... Grandma Janie was already in rough shape, so her losing her nursing home wasn't a big deal.

Oh plenty of them will find out when they’re told by the government that they’re the ones now legally responsible for taking care of their elderly relatives.

Coloring may be wrong on a couple states. But y'all get the drift.

My oldest brother, living in Georgia, is in hospice care for Alzheimer’s. He’s a 24-year vet, so all of these extra factors in play, I’m not sure how this plays out. My SIL, who I know keeps voting R, because of her investments, she says, has to be concerned. My brother is pretty far progressed, so it has to be heavy on her mind. I’m not broaching the topic with her, no need to poor vinegar and rub slat on her wound.
