To deprive anybody of health care is deplorable. If we deprived them of health care we would become deplorable.
That doesn't mean there isn't a price to be paid by the Deplorables for saddling us with a bigoted, misogynistic, xenophobic, ableist, nativist, sociopathic, and treasonous leader.

I'll just put it that way.

(51,104 posts)WE didn't do this. If we don't whip ourselves while we sit back and watch THEIR actions redound on them, that's because we have nothing to feel guilty about, and because it will be very, very interesting to see their reaction to their own mistakes.

My sorrow is for those who tried to maintain it (and the rest of America)

You cannot allow them to occupy the world they have created and advocated for without it having an identical impact on the rest of us.

(34,161 posts)without being willing to sacrifice my daughter, and others like her.
That is the exact same choice that I found hardest to move past following the election. While friends who voted for Trump were not necessarily racists, bigots, etc., they WERE willing to sacrifice me, my family, my Muslim, brown, trans, etc. friends for their goal (which was largely to avoid putting Hillary in office).
It really is no more acceptable to me that some progressives believe - or at least expressly saying - that they are willing to sacrifice my daughter toward the goal of ensuring Trump voters have their wrecking day.
