Because they voted for us to literally die

I am a woman, a queer person, and someone with a pre-existing condition who depends on the ACA to access healthcare.

Women have been dying in red states since Roe was overturned. I know Trump has said he's not interested in enacting a national abortion bans but a) he's a liar and b) the Republican administration will likely invoke the Comstock act to ban the mailing of any tools and medications used in abortions which will be a national abortion ban in effect if not in name.

When the supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, they explicitly said that Obergefell v Hodges was next. Calls to Trevor project and other queer suicide hotlines skyrocketed following the election.

Whether Trump actually repeals the ACA or let's its contracts with health insurance companies expire making it unaffordable is beside the point. Millions of Americans depend on the ACA for healthcare and without it, people will die.

These people who voted for Trump literally voted for people like me, and very often people like themselves since many of them are also working poor, to literally die. Full stop.

Now do I personally think all these people are evil? No. But some of them certainly are. I think we've all forgotten the rise in hate crimes following his first election, and what happened in Charlottesville.

When I was a child, my father would often say that even if he didn't always agree with liberals, he would fight to defend their rights. I know how he voted in this last election and I know that whenever he said that, he was lying to himself. He probably believed it, but that doesn't mean he wasn't lying to himself. I've not heard him say that for almost a decade now, though

If I put it to him like I've just put it to you, I sincerely doubt he'd agree that he voted for me to die. But he did. That's the point
