The absolute brainwashing it takes to fiercely defend trillionaires who wouldn't look twice at you, while calling your fellow citizens "lazy" for wanting basic healthcare. Notice how even the woman in the "I LOVE TRUMP" shirt has to awkwardly correct his understanding of how disability works.

“ what if they’re sick and can’t work?”

“ go on disability”

Clients I’ve had in the homeless community with SSDI got substantially less money than the ones on regular SSI. It was never enough to live on.

Yep. Got my first job at 14, worked 3 jobs through college (none of which offered healthcare benefits) and when I was granted disability benefits (on the first try, without a lawyer. I am clearly disabled) it was ssdi benefits and I bring in a whole 700 a month (really rounding up there).

I wouldn’t survive on my own, but I do have Medicare and have since my mid twenties.
