About half of rural voters identify with Make America Healthy Again, a sprawling political movement championed by the Trump administration, but most said Donald Trump’s healthcare policies have not benefited their communities, according to a new poll from The Associated Press in partnership with KFF.

About 8 in 10 rural voters — an important voting bloc for Trump and fellow Republicans — said the Trump administration’s policies have had a negative effect or no impact on the health of people where they live. Most MAHA supporters, 68%, also feel this way, according to the national survey of more than 2,000 rural registered voters.

The findings signal an apparent disconnect between the Trump administration’s MAHA-branded policy priorities and rural America’s perception of their reach and effectiveness.

They will still overwhelmingly vote Republican in the midterms because they are morons.

    Yeah because the dumocrats would be worse. Measles would be killing more children, food would be even more expensive, oil would be even more expensive, presidents would sleep through even more meetings and events, the white house would be even more destroyed, Iran would have even more power, the world would be even more aware that the US military has limits, presidents would play even more golf. There would be even more cartoon villains in politics. /s

    By the way did you know dumb has a 'b' in it? Most people don't know that.

    Knew someone that was touting trump as the "president of peace" during the campaign and election. When he bombed Iran I went back to his post and commented to point out his hypocrisy. This dumbass just basically said what you posted. But no /s... Like they are advanced levels of dumb. And worse they've been [in]bred to never admit they are wrong. See the piece of Schmitt in congress grilling Jack Smith.

    Honestly I think deep down they know they're wrong but they also know that if they never admit that out loud then it doesn't become "real." It's like a game of psychological self-preservation.

    No they actually don’t know how dumb they are.. that’s the problem. They’re so fuckin stupid they don’t even realize how stupid they are, I’m pretty fucking stupid too but AT LEAST I’m smart enough to know how fucking stupid I am.. there isn’t a MAGA alive that can say the same.. they reproduce like rabbits cause they’ll fuck anything with a pulse, and they spread this idiot ideology like a plague.

    Oh, FFS.

    Imagine thinking that Republican policies were going to improve anything, most especially health.

    Really? I’m shocked, shocked I tell you.

    But now can you also explain how you’ll somehow vote for him for a third term? I’m curious how that will work?

    Dear Lord,

    I know I don't normally believe you exist, but if you do, please bring the next pandemic right away. I think RFK Jr. can help guide so many conservatives into the light of everlasting neverafter. This would truly result in a more peaceful, more healthy world for the normal people who remain on earth.

    Please don't make us have to kill them all by hand. That would take so very long.

    -Amen

    Needle has barely started to move honestly, each upcoming year will be successively worse until we see a generation of dead kids from preventable illnesses, and even then...

    I think a lot about the Sagan quote about how we'll drift off, our faculties in decline, into an age of crystal-gazing. It's already happened so bad. I can't watch reality TV, even like the Rehearsal, because by episode 2 there's a numerologist who believes in Satanic murders. Too stupid to live, but happily voting. America.

    In his first term Trump was going to kick some 700,000 off food stamp's, it went to court and lost, Biden didn't challenge that court loss,

    they then voted for it again and I'm sure when asked...

    I disagree. If they are closer to death, I'd call that an improvement.
