Democrats, after weeks of struggling to find a message that resonates with ordinary Americans while President Donald Trump dominates the news, are beginning to settle on one: the allegation that Trump and his allies are crippling Social Security.
Former president Joe Biden used his first public comments since leaving office to criticize Trump’s handling of the popular program. Early Democratic ads are targeting Republican senators on Social Security. Democrats have visited Social Security offices around the country, sometimes getting turned away and going public. Senate Democrats have set up a “war room” to deliver the message......
Since Musk and DOGE began cutting Social Security staff earlier this year, The Washington Post has documented website crashes, lengthy wait times and improper handling of sensitive data. Trump officials have classified live immigrants as dead people and developed plans to force millions of customers to file in person rather than over the phone. Some of these moves have been reversed after a backlash......
Democrats are fearmongering, she said — but Republicans are trumpeting a nonexistent fraud problem. “The Democrats are basically scaring seniors while Republicans are shouting about fraud,” Boccia said. “But neither party is willing to tell the truth about Social Security’s math.”.....
Many Republicans have painful memories of Bush’s campaign to revamp the program in 2005, which backfired badly. Fresh from a decisive reelection victory, Bush embraced a plan to let younger workers invest part of their Social Security taxes in private accounts, touting the idea in his State of the Union address and barnstorming the country.
But the idea proved deeply unpopular with voters, and even Republican lawmakers began distancing themselves from it. The following year, the GOP lost the House and Senate in a historic rout, and many analysts say the Social Security fight at least played a role.

About as new as prostitution.
More and more people though realize that Social Security is, and has been for a long time, a Ponzi scheme that is going to go bankrupt sooner rather than later.
If the Republicans are smart which is debatable, all they need to do to eliminate the Democrat accusation about Social Security and caring for the average American is pass Trump’s tax agenda.
Eliminate taxes on tips, eliminate income taxes on Social Security and eliminate the withholding on overtime for hourly workers.
Very few things would have the impact on Average Americans and Senior Citizens than these simple tax reductions.
It’s the only play in their playbook: SCARE THE SENIORS!...................
But the proof is in the puddin…. As long as folks benefits arent actually cut , why is the public going to give the leftists the benefit of the doubt? Democrats have been consistently wrong…. This is another loser for them…. Unless the GOP does cut SS…Eventually I think the economy will hit a rough patch and they will shift gears to that.
How to counter, set up protester to join them with signs reading “SS for illegal!” Megaphone yell “when do we want it? NOW!”
The Washington Post and other Democrats have been claiming that the Republicans are going to take away people’s Social Security for as long as I can remember.
Perfectly stated!
Challenge them to find anyone whose benefits have been cut... anyone who is entitled to those benefits, of course.
Democrats are LIARS! I worked for SSA when I was young, passed probation and the blacks in there were VERY lazy and would do very little work at all. That was many, many years ago and it was totally corrupt back then including the SSI program and no one would do anything about it. I was immature and allowed it to make me so angry, I finally quit.
Republicans need to emphasize Social Security corruption and theft from social security done by democrats
For pity sakes, the democrats have been using SS to terrorize seniors for years. They said the GOP wanted them to eat dog food and throw granny off the cliff.
Same ole RAT playbook. Yawn
You know, if the Republicans had balls, they should put out commercials reminding the public ehat happened under Biden: lockdowns, coerced vaccinations, detention of people for almost four years without trial, facilitated invasion of illegals...with the theme: no matter what the Democrats tell you, or their media comrades tell you, they’ve shown you what they would do to you while they’re in power. If you let them take power, they’ll do it again. Don’t let it happen.
Try reigning in and reforming benefits and watch the wailing here on FR
I’m on SS just recently. I remember this scam through the years since I was 30. At that time I didn’t care. Now I’m familiar with thier BS. A lot of Americans are
I thought that x presidents stayed out of politics in their cushy retirement?
But china joe hunter boy pardoner never was president sooo,
Play back it up for me,
Democrats desperately s3arching for their new “throw granny over the cliff” to accuse gop of
Yep, but it worked before-
