the answer man answers again

Trump never had a healthcare plan beyond telling people that they would have the best healthcare ever in the history of the planet.  I was speaking of the Republicans, who are theoretically responsible, as the party who are constantly bleating about healthcare but in like fifteen years have come up with no plan of their own.  The mandate goes to the government not the insurance companies.  I suppose in a sense it increases insurance participation which is a boon for the insurance companies, but it's also a boon for government revenue and for getting some money out of uninsured freeloaders.  I quite agree that the insurance companies have driven up the cost of healthcare.  So I reckon then that Beagles is planning on voting for one of the more progressive democrats if they win the primary.

Beagles claimed in his earlier post that he didn't understand why anybody objects to the citizenship question on the seminar, but in his later post he admits that well, maybe he did hear something about why they object on those mysterious news apps where he browses.  Then I have to assume he is equally aware of the memo of the dead guy who wrote to the reps that is why they ought to do it, and that is why they have done it, and that is why the supreme court, though Trump-loaded, has rejected it, so I don't think I have to say anything more here.

Of course that citizenship thing on the ballot (useless though it may be as Beagles points out) is meant to keep the migrant/democrat vote down.  Why else would the Republicans put it in? 

I reckon Beagles feels pretty secure in his citizenship in the swamp, but immigrants, even those who may have recently become citizens, fear the rhetoric and the actual raids that pick up everybody in the vicinity make them nervous and that's why they shy away from anything that mentions citizenship as the Republicans know full well (see above).

Do the dawgs remember when going to their physicals being asked if they were a commie or maybe just planning on overthrowing the government?  Well the thing was, even to our eighteen year old minds, it seemed a little silly, I mean if I am a commie or intent on overthrowing the government aren't I going to lie on that?  In Catch 22 there was some character that everybody disliked so they made up so loyalty oath which they would never let him take.

It seems to me that classism is more of a leftist thing, working class vs ruling class, it requires a bit of theory, whereas populism is simpler, throw the bums out, but in essence, yeah they are quite similar.
