Republicans might feel they are paying homage to their wealthy backers like the Koch brothers & Sheldon Adleson by enacting a health care bill that is really a tax cut for billionaires. But Republicans may be laying the foundation for revolution, an armed revolution.
When people are tossed out of nursing homes to die, people who need treatment for diabetes begin dying, a cancer patient's yearly cap runs out in August and she needs to wait until January to continue treatment and children that could be saved with modest medical care begin to die, Republicans and their wealthy backers will become murderers to many Americans.

Besides being a CCDC Coatesville committee member, l have a blog, Coatesville Dems Blog. You might even remember me, my friend calls you “Little Bobby”.
In a modest way, I have been tracking political extremists, potential terrorists & local drug traffickers in Chester County.
Up until Jeff Sessions took over the DoJ I had a direct connection to an intelligence officer. You might say my finger is on pulse of extremists in South East Pennsylvania.

Neo-Nazis and militia groups talk about a 2nd American revolution. William P. Pierce's "The Turner Diary's", a novel about a 2nd American revolution, inspired Timothy McVeigh to blow up the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Former Coatesville resident Pat Sellers recommended reading Pierce’s books.
But it might not be the tinfoil helmet guys that pick up their assault rifles. James Hodgkinson the man who shot Steve Scalise and others at baseball practice doesn’t fit into any extremist profile. He was violent, but ordinary.
There’s a LOT of ads with Republicans shooting guns.
Candidate Eric Greitens, now Missouri, Eric Greitens, went bonkers with a machine gun TV ad.
The most deadly parts of Republican “health care” take effect in 2024 when the Senators are safely reelected. Republicans are aware that what they are doing is extremely unpopular.
U.S. citizens could see Republican health care as murder by kleptocrat and turn their guns on Republicans.

We already have a country packed with angry people. They're angry that Wall Street bankers stole their homes and the recession they caused took their jobs. See "Death to My Hometown" below.
Republicans redirected that anger towards, Jews, Blacks, Mexicans and Muslims.

That anger elected Donald Trump. Trump voters thought he would fight for white people. But Trump only fights for billionaires and near billionaires. Most of the people who voted for him don't yet understand that Trump betrayed them. Betrayal is a deadly powerful emotion. And most Trump supporters are very well armed.

Republicans are doing something they never did before:
Killing people by denying them medical treatment.
"Casey said debate about the bill had paid too little attention to how the proposal would affect people who get their health insurance through their employers — more than 150 million Americans. “If you’ve got employer coverage, they’re coming for you, too,” he said. “Because if you live in a state in the future where there’s a waiver, you will not get protection from preexisting conditions.
“They can still make sure that if you’re pregnant, you’re not going to get the kind of maternity benefits that you might need. All that will be legal if the state you live in goes with a waiver,” he said. “So don’t think you’re in the clear because we’re talking a lot about Medicaid. That’s what I said: This bill is bad for the whole country.”
Americans are angry. They're angry at Wall Street banks for crashing the economy and then being rewarded. But Republicans and Wall St only took our jobs and homes. Republican "health" care will take our lives and our families lives to give a boost to billionaires. Most people will know someone who was killed by Republican "health care." Republicans and the .01% will be called murderers. What is only generalized anger will become laser focused rage on Republicans and their .01% donors.
"Health care" that kills people will do more than making Republicans un-electable. It's likely to put them in the sights of a rifles.
If ordinary people begin killing Republicans and their donors because they callously allowed their sons and daughters, fathers and mothers to die, they won't be right wing nuts fighting an imaginary enemy. They will be extracting revenge, like the farmers and townspeople of the French Revolution. I wouldn't call them terrorists.
In his novel "The Turner Diaries" William Pierce imagines a race war and overthrow of the “Jewish controlled federal system”. The “Organization” wins the war with the U.S. Government. Timothy McVeigh wanted to spark the “Organization” to wage war against the Federal Government. Timothy McVeigh believed he was a patriot fighting the "Jewish controlled federal system." He was fighting a completely imagined enemy. Fortunately there are not many people like him.
Fantasies of ragtag militias waging war with government forces and winning, permeate right wing organizations. But that’s not the likely ending of people rising up with firearms against the U.S. Government. The most likely result is a repressive autocratic United States, controlled by Stasi like police and the end of democratic government in the United States.
It's likely that President Trump's chief advisor, Steve Bannon welcomes a bloody revolution.

His 2009 film, Generation Zero, shows a hellishly bleak vision of our past, present, and future, driven by a magical belief in historical determinism.

Do everything possible to stop Republicans from enacting their murderous Republican-care Bill.
Nick Hanauer wrote this almost 3 years ago:
"And so I have a message for my fellow filthy rich, for all of us who live in our gated bubble worlds: Wake up, people. It won’t last…
Here’s what I say to you: You’re living in a dream world. What everyone wants to believe is that when things reach a tipping point and go from being merely crappy for the masses to dangerous and socially destabilizing, that we’re somehow going to know about that shift ahead of time. Any student of history knows that’s not the way it happens. Revolutions, like bankruptcies, come gradually, and then suddenly. One day, somebody sets himself on fire, then thousands of people are in the streets, and before you know it, the country is burning. And then there’s no time for us to get to the airport and jump on our Gulfstream Vs and fly to New Zealand. That’s the way it always happens. If inequality keeps rising as it has been, eventually it will happen. We will not be able to predict when, and it will be terrible—for everybody. But especially for us..."
"The most ironic thing about rising inequality is how completely unnecessary and self-defeating it is. If we do something about it, if we adjust our policies in the way that, say, Franklin D. Roosevelt did during the Great Depression—so that we help the 99 percent and preempt the revolutionaries and crazies, the ones with the pitchforks—that will be the best thing possible for us rich folks, too. It’s not just that we’ll escape with our lives; it’s that we’ll most certainly get even richer.
The model for us rich guys here should be Henry Ford, who realized that all his autoworkers in Michigan weren’t only cheap labor to be exploited; they were consumers, too. Ford figured that if he raised their wages, to a then-exorbitant $5 a day, they’d be able to afford his Model Ts."
