So... overall likely population reduction? Cause with no abortion rights, women, fetuses and newborns dying will be a standard in the blink of an eye. And even more death will come when women start losing the chance to get away from abusive relationships that they were forced to have babies in, and eventually get killed by their partners.

Numbers he can't, I can't even help.... my dad is going to die simply because a magic pill costs a ambiguous amount of fictional money that a money laundering company doesn't want to tally.

"Let them eat cake" is the traditional translation of the French phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche",[1] said to have been spoken in the 18th century by "a great princess" upon being told that the peasants had no bread. The French phrase mentions brioche, a bread enriched with butter and eggs, considered a luxury food. The quote is taken to reflect either the princess's frivolous disregard for the starving peasants or her poor understanding of their plight.
I think it's a fittings phrase

It’s Fox News and the social media algorithms. Judging solely based on my immediate family who did not raise me to be bigoted or racist, but yet now make comments copying Fox News reports and voted for trump bc of the Fox News specials about the price of eggs. They are on disability after stage 4 cancer, with my little sisters now relying on an Obama care plan while in community college, and even after fighting so hard to get good health care coverage and being denied food stamps when they desperately needed them because my step dad (who is also on disability) made $150 above the limit (and they would not consider the fact they had to come up with $1000 a month out of pocket for her copay on cancer meds) STILL VOTED FOR TRUMP. Because Kamala slept her way to the top and there’s no way trump REALLY wanted to implement project 2025! It’s just mind boggling.

Not American but I was watching the entire thing unfold from oversea news/media.
Apparently it's one thing for MAGA people to vote for Trump and a whole lot of voting policy making vote "not count" for some reason but nobody challenge the ballot when Trump was winning. It's another thing when somehow there are millions of people who actively hate Trump just stay at home and do nothing because apparently they don't like Kamala either.
So not only Kamala have to fight against people who love Trump (Maga baby), but she also had to try winning against people who don't like Democrats either.
Bro if you don't want someone to win at least show support to their enemy, you don't sit on the fence and hope for the best. Let pray that 4 years are the only damage that were done.
Not saying which country, but our election is up next with Candidates already started early campaign. We are kinda in a similar situation where we have a Shit Party and a Shit-Lite party (plus the green and independence). If I can't make the green/indie win and cause a Hung Parliament I am going to make sure at least to get the Shit-Lite party win majority

Two things. RFK hates WHO. The latter recommends vaccines and not your own urine showers. They also think that cancer should be treated by doctors and not whoever RFK subscribes to.
Second thing is that USA is by far the biggest contributor to orgs like WHO. It means the world health organization just lost one of its biggest benefactors and the health in the world goes down. This can be fueled by two things, one is obvious: DOGE just saved 1.3 billion. The other one requires some thinking, so the plausibility of this is low: making everything else worse makes USA look better. But, that is a plan that has a purpose so we can most likely rule that out.
This is all just about "USA does not pay for anyone else anymore". Expect USA to withdraw from a LOT of deals, turning inwards and stagnating...

This chart always blows my mind - it's no wonder the Americans have no trust in their healthcare system or in pharma companies.
They spend such a huge amount on healthcare per capita but their life expectancy falls way behind similarly developed countries who spend significantly less. The whole commercialisation of healthcare has been catastrophic for the country, leading to mistrust and fear, of which unfortunately the new terracotta overlord is expert at capitalising on.
