I find blue lives matter very fashionable lol
-getting an open carry license (especially trendy for women).
-identifying as a libertarian, but supporting Trump
-thinking you pay taxes, and whining ab it, when you do not.
-women permanently referring to themselves as "mama" or "mommy" bc they are fat and need to constantly remind everyone it's bc they have kids.
-leaving a sofa in your front yard.. but then has that ever really gone out of style in the red states?

Fashion statement? Depends on what you mean. My comment here is more about wealth inequality than income inequality.
This TrumpCare bill going through the Senate is called the "Better Care Reconciliation Act." That's nothing but Orwellian horseshit for a bill that redistributes wealth and takes almost a trillion dollars out of healthcare, away from the poor and elderly, and delivers it to the top 2%. It simply makes low-income people pay more for health insurance for bigger deductibles. It makes all the features of Obamacare worse.
So why should I give a shit if some poor person loses their insurance and sucks death? I'm an atheist, so it's not some religious ethic. You would think a good Catholic like Paul Ryan or a good Baptist like McConnell would give a shit -- but they don't. To me this involves what's right morally and NOT a fashion statement. At some point, society places enough incentive for the people to innovate, and there's a moral obligation to keep poor people alive. Even if some are simply lazy.
For those of you who don't give a shit, better hope you never lose your job and get sick. There's some randomness involved, and it happens to the best of us.
Driving a Tesla -- now that's definitely a fashion statement.

I didn’t say that and it’s a nonsense point, anyway. We live in a democracy and we spend our tax dollars based on the will of the voters. I was careful to point out that cutting off Medicaid support to nursing home residents and young children does not fit my sense of morality. So you better vote in the next election, @SkiBirther, if you want to cancel out mine.
I’m no expert, but it seems to me that one of the tenants of Christianity involves compassion for the poor. As such, a guy like Paul Ryan strikes me as a major hypocrite.
As you say, @SkiBirther, Obamacare was starting to unravel on it’s own. Trump caused further doubt by withholding subsides to insurance companies, which, in turn, helped to sabotage Obamacare. It might have been more politically savvy to let Obamacare fail on it’s own. If this bill new passes, the GOP will own healthcare and the loss of life which will be in the tens of millions. If there’s enough of a backlash, the Democrats will go after single payer the next time around. Obamacare (Romneycare) was supposed to appeal to conservatives. Why bother trying to satisfy the GOP at all the next time around?
