Mixing 2 threads, but it's primarily political and shows these people are in fact real, not just bots. A woman I was talking.......politics hadn't been brought up yet, until today. Something medical and her being mad at a Dr, she went to ranting about "This is all Elon's fault, him and making Trump his puppet".
Uhhh, what? So she sends me a link going back to end of 2024 when Republicans decided to remove the Pharmacy Benefit Manager Reform from the Bill, AOC ranting about it in some hearing and blaming it all on Elon's tweet. And before he was even in office, Trump and Elon tanked it all.
First, I asked how Trump went from being an "egotistical narcissist" to being a puppet in a few weeks. Next, if anybody was going to tank Reform, it's RFK Jr. in his war on Big Pharma altogether, not Elon. And neither were in office or had any power or even officially named to any position at the time. And seriously, back to blaming a Tweet cited by that lunatic AOC? And finally, you know who else was anti-PBMs? Liberals. Mark Cuban had a war against them. NY Times reported their corruption earlier in 2024. They're middle managers who embezzle, just like Trump said. So you're telling me that suddenly they became awesome? No. Liberals couldn't have Trump agreeing with them, so they changed their tune, pumped them up and made all these ridiculous items in the Bill that included more Pandemic nonsense, KNOWING Republicans would turn it down. Alll so they can point at Pubs and say, "They hate America!".
I was then blocked.
Seriously, people making these definitive, angry statements off of an AOC tiktok? Liberals are brain dead.
