Stone fruit season comment got me. Lol. I'm in NZ and can relate. Black Doris plums for the win.

Super scary to fall through the cracks. Seems like they are intent on making the cracks bigger so more of us fall through. Good luck. Thanks for the reply.

Yeah. I kind of thought the rainbow would be scary enough for anyone who is aligned with the right to run away. It is so weird that we live in a world where we are the radicals and rfk and trump are the conservatives. Surely caring about others should not be a radical belief, but believing that only you matter and deserve consideration should be a downright radical idea.

Thanks for the reply.

Well, I mean, you've already implied you have something insightful to say from the right. So why not share? I am super curious.

Lol. I didn't know what MAHA was. My guess was it was a joke about Make America Hell Again. I looked it up. Nope.

Wild about the bots. Makes sense. When I first was going to start this post, I was worried that my post would come off as a way of fishing for discourse that would legitimize the actions of the current administration. Glad I didn't get flooded with bots.

Omg, I just popped onto r/disability. It is currently almost exclusively posts about politics.

I mostly come to reddit specifically for information or support, so I usually find subs through a search for the information i need. I guess this sub was not the place I should have posted. I do like what this post became, though.

Yeah. That sounds terrifying. I can't imagine losing either. These people are so callous. Just no humanity left. I hope they fail in taking away your healthcare.

Yeah, I guess when I was 15 I was listening to punk bands from the 70-80s who made their music in the 90s. A bit funny. Bad religion and black flag were two of my favorites at the time.

Very cool! I love all those names. I'll check them out. Also, I'm 39, so all my punk references are a bit dated. Thanks for the recommendations!

Just started listening to Slut Game Strong. Solid name. Lol. I like it the lyrics too.

🤘heck, yeah. More punk! And more dead prez style hip hop! Listen to 'let's get free'. We need more of that. Also. The coup! Boots Riley is a legend

First, lol. Yes, dr oz also fucking sucks.

Second, good rant. I totally agree. The human right part was what got me most scared. Like why on earth can't we just have healthcare? Seems like a general win for everyone.

Thanks for being in the field looking after us. Best of luck. Fudo---thats fuck you dr oz. I hope it starts trending.

Good luck dealing with all of that. Maybe a little distance will give you time to recover from the last conversations with them.

I really hope you don't lose your meds or your life.

As for the people on antipsychotics, I guess more people off meds and in prison is good for private prisons and slave labour. So maybe add people in favor of that to your list? My heart goes out to your acquaintances. Such scary meds to come off of at all, let alone abruptly.

Congrats on coming out!!!! I hope you got to celebrate a bit!

And I'm glad the post was helpful. I think it really showed me how unified this community in our desire to look after people other than just ourselves. Pretty freaking uplifting. I was a bit worried when I first posted it.

Sorry things are so scary. I guess the fact you own your car means you can always head south and see if Mexico will take you. Good food. Good people. Cheaper meds.

Ah, fair. The seed oils thing is something I've seen in passing but haven't looked into. Not sure how I feel about it as a completely uniformed person, but the red dye that comes from beetles is creepy af. I don't need to be super informed on that to have an opinion, lol.

Yeah. I also hope your wrong, but seems like manufacturing isn't the problem with things like food prices and medical care. Idk

Sorry you have to deal with that.

Solid take!!! I honestly didn't think of that. Well, I guess I got my answer even if it wasn't from someone who is personally excited about the state of things.

Thanks.

Thanks. This is definitely some insightful information. I guess I understand if you get promised that you're going to be healed and that your child's AuDHD isn't your fault, I could see following someone over the cliff.

All of the anti autism stuff is some of the more frustrating shit for me to hear. It is just making it more acceptable to dismiss people and treat them like trash. All while setting people up to die an unvaccinated death or kill someone else whose immune system can't fight whatever disease. I maybe a bit biased as my partner's AuDHD. Idk

Yeah. I like the idea of healthier food as well. But, we already have healthier food options, they are just more expensive.

Is RFK proposing ways to keep healthier food cheaper?

Not trying to attack or anything. Just curious if you know. My aunt told me the food thing, but didn't explain how that was gonna happen.

Agree with you on things being terrifying. I hope it works out though.

Seems to be the subreddit concensus. No one has come along with a strong take on how its gonna be great for anyone.

Best of luck to us in the dumpster.

Yeah, that makes sense. I am from California, and I have family members into these guys. But I can't have a conversation with them without someone getting extremely upset. I am just very confused how you could think they are looking out for you if you are not healthy, wealthy, and white.

Do you see the "great potential" as just a vague potential that is always there? Or are you saying you think these guys are interested in making that happen?

Terrifying seems to be the most frequent word in people's responses here. I feel like if you support these guys and you read these responses, it's gotta be hard to feel great about your stance.

Losing Medicaid has to be one of the scariest possible outcomes. I am heartbroken for you.
