It passed

Of course the big ugly bill passed because the GOP politicians are petrified of Trump and his mindless cult which is ready to take bullets for him.

17 million people will now progressively lose their health care and many will die.

Cuts to child nutrition programs, cancer research and other services being cut were always part of the plan. This is not an isolated incident and will continue the decline already well underway. As the public slowly begins to feel the cuts to their services they will realize they made a drastic mistake by voting GOP or not having bothered to vote at all.

In the end complacency is what does countries in and democracy dies as moral panics and injustice work their way through the society like a wildfire.

For the rest of the world the Trump regime is a pariah we want nothing to do with. We will be making other arrangements to distance ourselves and steer clear of the madness and the cruelty.

It will be sad watching all those personal stories of loss and grief as the realization sets in.
