If the GOP cuts benefits that Americas seniors paid into and depend on, the Dems will never lose another national election
Seniors in my family and friends - registered Republicans - will vote against a Republican party that “can’t afford” to fund Social Security for Americans but can afford to fund Zelensky pension in Ukraine
Exactly

You just can’t be serious about being fiscally conservative without deep cuts in entitlement spending. You can cut all foreign aid and military and it won’t be a drop in the bucket compared to SS/Medicare.
It’ll happen one way or another, the only way for the geezers to escape it is to die first. This ponzi scheme will eventually collapse.
“Seniors in my family and friends - registered Republicans - will vote against a Republican party that “can’t afford” to fund Social Security for Americans but can afford to fund Zelensky pension in Ukraine.”
So true. Republican politicians need to stop lying awake at night trying to think up ways to be stupid.
We don’t have elections anymore.

It depends on how many senior and pre-senior voters there are.
Part of the problem is that Social Security pays seniors that contributed nothing or very little to it.

Friend, it’s already baked in. Our debt and unfunded mandates, like Social Security and medicare simply cannot be provided to the ultimate beneficiaries in a way that meets their expectations.
It’s all going to be wiped out, its just a matter of when the profligate spending tips the scale over and the dollar collapses.
I wish it werent so, but the ledger is so far out-of-whack that there is nothing we can do to stop it, short of the politically impossible feat of shrinking government at all levels, including every benefit that any person receives from the federal government.
So tell your family that they should ALREADY be voting against Republicans AND Democrat liars who have bankrupted us.
As for Ukraine - the bribery, kick-backs, and corruption are likely to be epic, however, because of Republican and Democrat liars, nobody will be held accountable - so that is another reason why benefit expectations will not be met.
Good luck to all those that have grand expectations of receiving federal benefits. Enjoy them while you have them, but keep your friends, family happy so they will be willing to help you when it all stops.
True. Only an idiot would support Republicans cutting Social Security. ..an idiot or a field worker, for the global plantation.
