Darren Bullock, 40, is a Trump voter who switched from the Democrats in 2016.

He is likely to lose Medicaid coverage because of the new requirements, although he is not hopeful of finding adequate employment.

“If they want people to work 80 hours a month, they’d need to bring in a lot more jobs,” he says.

Precisely. It’s a good thing the left pushes UBI, free schooling, and new, positive infrastructure projects really hard, especially in rural places where private business fails to service because it’s not profitable!

Well, all except for the people willing to change but considering the right is full of people who keep saying “life’s not fair” and “that’s too bad you gotta do what you gotta do” I’m sure they can suck it up, right?

Certainly life is messy and unfair, but my state has an excellent education system including free college (depending on income). I do realize we spend a lot more on it than many states could afford but the only way to address that is the Department of Education. Did those states vote to expand the Department of Education to improve all our kids’ education? No, pretty much the opposite. You can’t help someone who won’t help themselves. You can’t give money to someone who won’t take it
