Trump And Republicans Expect You To Die, Joe Public

Are you Joe Public? One of America’s more than 94 million permanently unemployed? A doctor, truck driver, or other worker at risk of technological unemployment? Then you, Joe, had best learn a new word: Democide.


What’s “democide?” It’s the killing of people by a government most often based on their socioeconomic status.


The Republican healthcare plan, the “AHCA” dubbed “Trumpcare” earlier this week, is more than mean-spirited. It is madness. It is that pure evil that oozes up from the cracks of greed, selfishness, and self-entitlement.


Is it outside the realm of possibility for that small sect of the wealthiest Social Darwinists, who believe that the rich and powerful are the product of natural selection, and their well-paid Republican think tanks and politicians, to entertain the notion of “thinning the herd?”


What has their agenda been in Trump’s first 50 days? Keep more poor people from entering the country. Thin the herd. Deport the working poor. Thin the herd.

Thin the herd....and say hello to Automation...humans need not apply. This is a frightening read.

This was at issue with the ACA.

2009 Harvard Gazette: New study finds 45,000 deaths annually linked to lack of health coverage

We can bicker over the accuracy of the numbers but the end result will not change => people will due without healthcare!


The GOP & Trump are going to kill a bunch of Americans with their healthcare policy.
