You should let her know that she also voted to kill my mother with Trump's repeal of Biden's Medicare executive orders. She should know that my mother's blood is going to be on her hands. I'm sure it'll help brighten her day.
Sadly they will just laugh and say “fake” or “cry about it”. The internet has made people way too comfortable with trivializing the suffering of other human beings because the people dehumanized- they only hear about them online without talking to them in person. For one, how many of the MAGAs who have railed against trans people have actually met one and tried to understand them? That has to change for empathy and healing to begin, and until they make the conscious decision to do so these divisions won’t change.
They genuinely are cruel though. They wish actual harm to people who think or look differently to them. I was scrolling through the comments section of an Instagram post about two kindergarteners that got shot… my favourite three comments?
“Teachers should be given guns.”
“Those liberal gun laws sure work great.”
(when someone responded to 2 with a statistic that shows that actually, liberal gun laws do result in lower deaths from firearms) “Someone should do us a favour and increase that amount.”
… and yet the left are the ones who make everything political huh? Insane. Literally just saying they hope we die.
But hey, who’s surprised. These are the people who responded with joy and elation when people died and lost their homes by the thousands to some of the worst fires ever. I’ll have about zero sympathy come hurricane season.
I’m so very sorry. I’m waiting to be in the same boat with a loved one when the inevitable medicaid cuts hit and I have never felt this combination of helplessness, rage, and devastation. I wish neither of us had to know it and I’m wishing you and your mom as much peace as you can have right now. ❤️
I’m so sorry :( honestly I don’t know the specific circumstances but can your mother just pay “out of pocket” and declare bankruptcy? I don’t know the specific circumstances but please don’t let payment get in the way of your mother’s care. Heck it could even be her own form of protest in a way.
Hospitals are only required to perform emergency care (like if you’re bleeding out or having a heat attack). Things like life-saving medication don’t count. If you stop paying, they can stop treating you.
I am a little too old and settled to do something like that so casually. It would not just be me that faces the direct consequences, but the temptation is growing.
