I think my in-laws, well at least FIL, get it. My Fox-watching, Rush-loving MIL is bemoaning the chaos. My wife has definitely fed the fire. She had her come to Jesus moment watching J6 unfold in the presence of her MAGA coworkers (her dad’s dental hygienists).
But I digress. My FIL has a very serious heart condition and takes a new med called Vendemax. He had to get approved for it every year and then shop drug plans that would include it. If he were to buy it without help, it’s like $230K/year. With assistance, it chews up his deductible in 3 months. Well, it’s magically disappeared from his plan. Either the agent fucked up royally or Trump’s new bullshit fucked it up. Fortunately, there are a couple of new drugs on the market and one is on his plan so he should be fine. But he was sweating balls this weekend.
I love the dude and am glad he’s gonna be able to do something. I’m equally glad that he’s finally seeing Trump in the proper light. He says he didn’t vote for Kamala or Trump in November but I don’t know for certain. MIL def voted Trump. FIL hates Paxton, didn’t vote for him in primary but then did in the general.
“I didn’t have any other choice,” he said. My wife told him he was an idiot.
At any rate, in-laws are spooked about where things are because of the above and their longtime financial planner is totally freaked out as well.
EDIT to add: Their financial planner is heavily involved with his church and they have a mission project that relies on a grant from USAID. They have no idea where that money is or if they'll ever see it again. He's pissed.
