The GOP is the party of death.
- Striking down Roe and passing anti- women's healthcare laws will result in the deaths of many innocent women.
- Refusal to pass ANY reasonable gun control legislation will result in the deaths of many many more innocent Americans.
- The GOP pushing anti-vaccine BS will cause serious illness and the deaths of incalculable Americans.
- Anti-covid vaccine nonsense specifically has already caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans, ironically mostly Republicans.
- Destroying gender affirmative care will cause deaths through the su***de of many teens and young Americans.
- The GOP wants to destroy the Affordable Care Act which will take healthcare insurance away from millions, many of whom will die for lack of care.
- The GOP wants to end the Inflation Reduction Act that reduced health care and prescription medicine costs for millions which will eliminate health care and meds for hundreds of thousands, surely causing the deaths of many of them.
- The GOP's profound and vocal bigotry against non-whites, LGBTQIA+, non-Christians, non-republicans, and more will cause deaths through the incitement of violence against those groups by extreme right-wing morons.
- The denial of and refusal to deal with the current and worsening climate crisis by refusing to legislate our path away from carbon-based and non-renewable energy sources will cause massive death counts, both through passive existence in a more polluted world, and more directly by death and destruction caused by storms of all types and wildfires caused by our more and more unbalanced ecology.
- Republicans' idiotic insistence that the fentanyl crisis is an "open" border problem takes resources away from the actual problem (drug addiction), ensuring that there will be no slowing of the hundreds and hundreds of annual overdose deaths.
And there's more but it's too depressing to keep typing them.
The right keeps claiming to be the party of individual freedom when in actuality they are the party of greed, avarice, self-centeredness, self-righteousness, and egotism mixed with a big dash of irresponsibility for their neighborhoods, communities, and society at large. They are the party of death.
I was a Republican for more than half of my life.
I will vote 'left' until the day I die.
