800K Oklahomans stressing over Social Security — as insiders warn of ‘system collapse’ within 90 days
Just enjoy the day you voted for there Oklahomans.
Oklahoma is already a failed state - look into child welfare and DHS. There are parts of OKC and Tulsa that look like a third world country - while the rural regions are mostly micro cults.
The US conservative movement is a cancer that has eaten this country from the inside out.

No, it's not.
It's that the movement was hijacked by the failed states of the south.
We replaced Edmund Burke with the dreams of a restored Jim Crow, and politics as viewed by rabid WWF fans.
The south will destroy America, if only because they hate that they are the worst part of it.
You’ve voted for it, assholes. Eat it up!
I wouldn't gloat over this one, because a huge number of people who didn't vote for it will also face the same consequences and many of them will suffer and/or die because they depend on social security for their main or sole income.
Nothing to be done at this point, all we have left is watching leopards eat faces. They wanted this damage. They wanted to hurt people they disagreed with. So yeah, we should feel schadenfreude or gloat when they shoot themselves in the foot because they were going to do this to others anyway. The math says that’s all we get. We shouldn’t be glad that they succeeded in accomplishing any aspects of their talibangelical manifesto of Project 2025 at all, but their willing support of an inept authoritarian and their whining that they get the same treatment should not be given a pass.
They are casualties of war and there will be many more if we don’t figure this out.
Oh now they stressing?
this doesn't really strike me as a 'leopards ate my face' moment, unless we're just meant to assume everyone living off of social security voted for cheeto hitler. or is this community just becoming a place for laughing at the misfortunes of united statesians in general?

66% of Oklahomans voted for their own misery and for that of the others.
closer to 25%, actually. about a million voted for trump, out of about 4 million total oklahomans. regardless, this article isn't about trump voters specifically getting fucked over, and rueing their own stupid actions and choices, this is about elderly and disabled people throughout the country, regardless of their voting history, getting fucked over. seems off topic for the sub.
And ... ? This affects the whole country.
Yep, I'm seeing more and more blaming all Americans no matter that almost as many voted for Harris as for trump and no matter how hard so many worked to defeat him. So no surprise they're fine with innocent people losing their social security.
