I can't wait to see the politicians who are Ok with letting the sick & elderly die...but also claim

"I can’t wait to see the politicians who are Ok with letting the sick & elderly die...but also claim to be pro-life."

Those are not my words. I saw this quote on a twitter thread. Very poignant. I think there are those that will be willing to sacrifice countless lives to support Trump when it comes to Trump " opening up our country".

And the pro-life people will be just fine with it.

I don't know how accurate that is, but it's more deaths than the Holocaust, FFS. But it's OK, I guess, because it will eliminate the useless eaters who don't contribute anything, right? Have the GOP sociopaths stopped to consider that older people are a big part of their base?

We don't want to live in a worse version of the great depression, which is exactly what's gonna happen if things stay shut down for more than 2-4 weeks.

I looked at your profile and see that you're a Bernie supporter. Well, here's your chance for Revolution!

Let's get together and build something new and better out of the ruins of the old - why not?

Trumplickers will crawl on their knees, coughing up blood and corona flecked sputum, to pull that lever to re-elect him.

He'll give out medals to those who die on the floor of the voting booth.
