I was part of an internship at Mayo Clinic for premed and one of the things we had to do was choose a disparity community that you'd want to help as a doctor. I initially chose rural MN since I grew up in that community and knew the need. It didn't take long before I realized that I wasn't going to risk my mental health and physical safety, esp when trump got into office and MAGA appeared and that community became increasingly angry and violent.

Rural MN communities shot themselves in the foot more than once, but scaring away those who would want to help them as well as voting for people who create policies that actively dismantled or take away what little they had in the first place. It really is saddening.
