And talk to people who *wanted* to buy insurance but were refused by the health insurance companies for preexisting conditions. Happened to me in 2006. My PEC was bipolar depression. I donβt even know now if that was an accurate diagnosis. But it was enough to be prohibited from buying insurance.

Yes, real people think like this; is it not obvious by the real actions being taken by real Republicans every day?

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest β using photos of South America

The Oregon Republican Party tried to help Donald Trump make the case for military intervention in Portland with an image of a fiery protest β but since Portland is calm, they had to fabricate one by merging old photos of police in Ecuador and protesters in Brazil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trumpβs order to murder those people was a test for the US Military, to see if they would reject his illegal order. They didnβt, of course, which means that Trump is emboldened to continue murdering people.
Weβll see how the military responds *when* theyβre ordered to kill Americans.

A little math about that prison camp in Florida. $450 million per year for 3,000 people is $150,000/person per year.
The cost for one person receiving SNAP for one year is $2256, yet they're telling us that's too expensive.
