Pain is needed
May 7, 2025 – Opinion by Citrus Springs resident Carl Benter
Pain is needed. Real pain in the wallet, way of life and unaffordable health expenses, and a shot of conscious morality is the only thing that pries these Republican voters away from the destruction of Trumpism and voting for people who support the wealthy but do little else for the population at large.
Pain is coming for all those Republicans who voted for Trump and will lose Medicaid, and possibly Social Security and Medicare. You should have voted for Democrats and you wouldn’t find yourself in a lot of pain … most of which hasn’t arrived yet … It’s only been 100 days. 265 more days … and that’s just the first year!
Meanwhile, your governor and his henchmen are brawling; it seems even some Republicans don’t like mini-Trumpster DeSantis and his authoritarian policies. The local government continually whines about the state not helping them. They need to be replaced also. They have no clue what they’re doing and it shows. Make America work again and vote Blue.
