27. In true fascist form, the Repuiblicans are deciding that some people aren't worth keeping alive.

The attacks on Medicare, Medicaid, VA benefits, Social Security, and food programs are not being done strictly to save money, but also to eliminate people they don't see the need to support, with the hopes that many of them will just die.
I know it sounds cynical, but that's how fascists think.
If your life is not of use to them, then what is the use of helping you continue to live?
It's callous, brutal, and loveless...the new platform of the Republican Party.
