23. The cruelty is the point

Tue Nov 19, 2024, 10:56 AM

Tuesday

They want to punish poor and disabled people for existing.

The only comfort I get from such a horror is that they will be hated by a very large group of people. Disabled folks have parents, siblings and friends. On average every person has about 10 to 15 close loved ones. They will all hate the MAGAts for this.

Are they cutting military disability too? Are they forcing the guy who got severe brain trauma in W's wars to go back to work too?

Had to add that those 65 and older are the people with the most disabilities. A big chunk of them voted for Trump. The screwing of his own voters now begins..... didn't take long.
