As of today, more than 130,000 Americans have died due to Covid-19. But it's unknown how many people have died over the past four or five decades because of Republican policies.
There's their never ending war against Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, food stamps, lunches for school children, Obamacare, and virtually every government program that poor to lower middle class human beings need to help them survive.
Why would any decent human being be against this? Why would Republicans want to fuck less fortunate human beings?
Yeah, there's racism, and many other reasons, but you'll need to supply your own answer to this. All I know is that virtually every Republican with which I am acquainted, regardless of their better qualities, is a prick or a Karen when it comes to politics.
Sometimes I think that Republicans have a missing gene when it comes to empathy for others. Who knows? But I do know that the outcome of their policies are inhumane, cruel, deadly, and, hopefully, will never come to be.
I wish I could be more eloquent about this but, fuck each and every Republican. And let them rot in their own hatreds and/or demented beliefs. (And I say this although some of my family members always vote for Republicans.)
it is.

As if any poor person lives in luxury when they get food stamps and Medicaid.
