      Because the GOP are not only as complicit in this as Trump, they are the root cause of all this happening, and cutting medicaid has been on their wishlist for decades. McConnell termed himself “the grim reaper”, exactly based on his objective to cut thing like this. I don’t understand why people keep considering them as some separate entity from Trump.

      Trump is the manifestation of the GOP.

        Mitch McConnell referred to himself as the “Grim Reaper” to signify his role in blocking progressive policies, stating that if he remained Senate majority leader, such policies would not pass. Mitch wasn’t responsible for cutting things from bills. He would just simply flat out let the bills sit on his desk where they went to die, hence the nickname. But my point is moot lol
