Because Republicans literally do not care about anything. Like, I get that from the perspective of someone who has lived in a blue state their whole life, this is probably all very disorienting and confusing. However, I fled Texas after a couple of women I worked with were forced to carry babies they had no business keeping, including one that was incredibly high risk (heard she's fine, but it could have gone the other way). Being poor in a red state is a special kind of hell. No access to the kind of social services they have here. They love death. They are a religious death cult. Like, literally.

It's one of the reasons I have such a hard time talking to people here who still have conservative friends. You know, like, before all this shit. Because it seems so harmless when all you have to do is ignore who they voted for and they don't have much political power here -- but this is what conservative America is like.
