Victory for liberalism! Trump forces Ron DeSantis to flip flop on social security cuts

[pyetro]

Liberalism seems to always win sooner or later. The conservative position that the safety nets should be cut or privatized is dead.
Biden, Trump and Desantis now agree that we need the safety nets.

In 2022 DeSantis supported privatizing social security and Medicare. Now that he has his eyes on the White House, he is suddenly singing a different tune. He claims that Republicans won't "mess with Social Security" and that he has always been "very supportive" of it.

Ron DeSantis once expressed support for privatizing Social Security and Medicare giving his rivals an opening

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis expressed support for privatizing Medicare and Social Security during his first campaign for Congress in 2012, giving political rivals who have pledged to protect the programs an opening to attack him ahead of DeSantis' expected run for president in 2024.

Some were predicting he would switch to 'moderate' as soon as he needed votes outside of Florida weeks ago. Old news.

He didn't flip flop previously. He flip flopped today, or yesterday. Not old news.

You're lying. Nobody predicted this social security flip flop. You're very pissed off that your idol is a flip flopper so you want to downplay the news.
You're using your excuse as an anxiety reliever. Sit down and enjoy the news.
Pop a Xanax.

Stupid or evil? Which is it?

NOBODY(!) has EVER proposed "cuts" in Social Security. Why are you Lefties so willing to believe that shit? Or do you pretend to believe it because you think it will help you politically?

Stupid or evil? Or both?

A general malady of those of lower IQ.

Everyone flip flops on issues. Especially after learning new stuff about the issues themselves. That doesn't make anyone good or bad.

 

[TNHarley]

Actual "liberalism" doesnt include SS
Thread fail

That was last year before an election. I bet Republicans are going to flip flop on Social Security again next year. Elon said:

“There is so much government waste that it’s kind of like being in a room full of targets, like you can’t miss — you fire in any direction you’re going to hit a target,” Musk said. He added, “as a country, obviously, we need to live within our means,” and said he envisioned going through all government expenditures “one item at a time, no exceptions, no special cases.”

He said he expected an “antibody response” from “a lot of sides.”

“Everyone’s going to have to take a haircut. … We can’t be a wastrel. … We need to live honestly,” Musk said.
