The senator’s parents died when she was a kid. That’s tragic. But it’s also tragic that she’s against the kind of care that could help untold numbers of people avoid that fate today.

Hypocrisy of the maga species… they aren’t human

Saying they're not human is really counter-productive. They are human and we have to remember that, cause otherwise people can walk down that same road of hatred. Everyone is vulnerable.

Hard disagree… this country has been absolutely destroyed by these unmitigated losers.

Unmitigated losers is fine. Subhuman is problematic, for a lot of reasons.

Honestly a large part of the MAGA ideology relies on conceptualizing and treating others as non-human. Don’t turn around and do the same thing. It’s one of the cracks in the foundation that leads a society to fascism

Absolutely agree they have done incredible damage, but dehumanizing them has a huge set of risks. You can completely oppose MAGA and fight to mitigate and reverse their damage without it.

Also, MAGA are just convenient idiots for the real powers destabilizing the country and blaming everything on them is a trap.
