CURTIS, Nebraska - The only health clinic here is shutting down, and the hospital CEO has blamed Medicaid cuts in President Donald Trump’s signature legislation. But residents of Curtis - a one-stoplight town in deep-red farm country - aren’t buying that explanation.

“Anyone who’s saying that Medicaid cuts is why they’re closing is a liar,” April Roberts said, as she oversaw lunch at the Curtis Area Senior Center.

But Kemp, a lifelong Republican and Trump supporter, doesn’t hold that against Trump and suggested he might change course. “I really think he’s gonna do something,” she said.

It's this kind of thinking I find staggering. Trump has done something - it's his bill that caused the problem he's not going to change course. I don't understand why Trump voters want to judge Trump on his words rather than his actions. They're amongst those who are going to suffer to preserve tax cuts that won't benefit them.

I think the point that keeps getting forgotten is that these people don't even hear about the bad things that Trump does most of the time and, when they do, it comes with spin to make it sound like a good thing. Mostly, they just hear about how much they are winning, how perfect the administration is... how great this administration has been for the economy, how much they have helped minorities but not in a way that will displace white people... how perfectly they are winning on the international stage, how perfectly the most recent special military action went, how much the rest of the world respects the US, how quickly other countries are giving in to our terriffs.

They don't hear truth and, at this point, they are so brainwashed that they wouldn't know what to do with the truth if they encountered it.

Well, we can see what they do with it right here: throw it right the fuck out. This is literally the scroll of truth meme irl.
