She didn't just vote her needed lifeline away. Her vote, and the others, took away
the needed lifeline of people who didn't vote for Trump.
She hurt herself and a whole lot of other people. I want for her to understand that.
I do feel bad that ignorance can kill. I do feel bad that people vote against their own interests. I find it mind-boggling that anyone thought a billionaire real estate developer would know anything about the lives of regular Americans. With everything Trump said on the campaign trail, they knew this would happen. He told them.
For years the GOP has done little else besides repeatedly voting to repeal the ACA. Weren't they paying attention? People are now supposed to feel sorry for them because they couldn't stop hating long enough to realize that Obamacare and the ACA were the exact same thing?
No one should have to die from lack of healthcare, not even those I disagree with (and it goes well beyond mere disagreement) - but mostly I feel bad for the people that they have hurt with their ignorance, with their hate, and with their vote.
What I feel for the Trump voter is mainly anger. Trump lied to them. The GOP lied to them. They lied to themselves. But in the end, they will find a way to blame Democrats and Liberals, immigrants, African-Americans, LGBT, and women. They'll blame the "liberal media", but never once will they blame themselves.
Martha Brawley put her hope in a man who said he would repeal Obamacare. She put her hope in a political party that made it plain as day they would repeal Obamacare. She betted her life on it.
Worse, she betted the lives of others on it.
