Occasionally politics comes up in the gym. Today a fellow Boomer asked me if I knew that Donald Trump is going to destroy Medicare with DOGE. I don’t know who this person talks to or where this person gets information. I remained calm and told the person that they are probably thinking of Medicaid, which is loaded with fraud and corruption. But it is clear that propaganda is still working after the election. These people have no idea how corrupt the government is, and they are true believers that the government is filled with the wonderfulness of human goodness. No greed, just sacrifice of hard-working bureaucrats.
I know the Great Society produced at least two, maybe three generations of ruined humans, and I know the government grew exponentially. This person has been conditioned to rely on and bow to the government. But this person needs to understand that thousands of 150-year-old collectors of Social Security checks are really just a drop in the bucket revealing the fraud that has been going on Washington for decades.
This person in the gym is a liberal who absorbs the propaganda that Trump and Musk are going to throw old and cripple people off bridges. People like this are angry and believe what they are told by the press that is largely public relations for the swamp.
It isn’t hard to figure out why the Swamp tried to assassinate Trump twice when you consider that trillions have been flowing from the bureaucratic swamp into to the pockets of swamp politicians and dispersed to fraudsters. It is on the verge of being exposed and it is not going to be pretty when the cover comes off the Washington sewer.
Trying to argue with a person like this is futile so, I just quietly nod my head and walk away.
