Those people have friends and family.
Take away medical care or social security: I doubt there is any amount of propaganda that will overcome that.
Of the 300,000 government workers Trump/Musk got rid of so far, how many will believe "This Trump thing sure worked out good for me!!"
Trump is underwater on nearly every issue except immigration where he's at ~51%.
Many authoritarian regimes have fallen because reality got in the way of propaganda.

(18,256 posts)Specific Proposals:
Work Requirements: The bill would mandate work requirements for able-bodied adults without dependents, requiring them to work or participate in qualifying activities for at least 80 hours per month to maintain Medicaid eligibility.
Eligibility Verification: States would be required to conduct more frequent eligibility checks, potentially leading to increased churn and coverage loss.
Citizenship Verification: Stricter citizenship verification requirements could also lead to coverage loss for eligible individuals.
Funding Cuts to States: The bill proposes to reduce federal funding to states that provide coverage to undocumented immigrants or have expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act.
Provider Taxes: The bill would limit or eliminate certain taxes that states levy on healthcare providers to help fund their Medicaid programs.
Other Provisions: The bill also includes provisions related to drug pricing, funding for Planned Parenthood, and gender-affirming care for minors.
