You will die so that others may not live

I’m not sure you could summarize the Republican Party any better than this:
Republicans are eyeing massive cuts to health care spending in order to scrounge up $200 billion for Donald Trump’s reckless war in Iran.
Top Republicans are looking for ways to offset the massive price tag the Pentagon has requested in order to pass the additional funding for U.S. military operations in Iran through a budget reconciliation bill, Axios reported Monday.
House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington is looking to revive cost-sharing reductions, programs that can assist low-income Americans in paying high deductibles, that were passed as part of Trump’s behemoth budget bill in July.
The Congressional Budget Office previously estimated that funding these reductions would save the federal government $30 billion but would increase out-of-pocket premium costs and drive up the number of people without health insurance by 300,000 through 2034. Arrington is selling the move as “fraud prevention.”
It should not be news that this is what the Republican Party is about — after all, taking health insurance away from tens of millions of people to pay for upper-class tax cuts on top of upper-class tax cuts was the signature policy of Trump’s first term. But a lot of people who think “anti-establishment” is a useful political descriptor convinced themselves that another term of Trump would mean isolation abroad to support programs at home. MAGA is just more orthodox Reaganism than Reagan himself, that’s what it’s always been, and that sure as hell won’t change whether Rubio, Peter Thiel’s fake-Appalachian messenger boy, or anyone else is at the helm of the party in 2028.
