Why is the Republican party so content with denying healthcare as a human right, and trying everything they can to harm people who need any sort of assistance? Like… How do they do it? How much are we talking here when we speak about tax savings for them?
Pretend I am rich? Like how much money am I getting back by Republicans kicking men off healthcare or destroying insurance for those who need it most. It must be alot right?
Because we humans are social animals that like seeing others happy and dislike seeing others unhappy. Same goes for seeing animals.
Conservatives have convinced themselves or have been convinced by others that everyone is solely responsible for their own success. Or they pretend to believe this.
When they see pain in the world the only thought they can have is: This person did something wrong.
In reality meanwhile things aren’t so easy. People have responsibility in achieving a happy life. But there are a myriad of factors that make life easier or harder. But you all probably know that.
America was founded on the ideals of personal freedom and lack of class structure. The idea that literally ANYONE can become President was a totally unique concept in the 18th century. National leaders were either Royalty who inherited the role, or Authoritarians who grabbed the role.
Freedom should be empowering, but Conservatives weaponized it by deliberately suppressing opportunities for many, while then blaming those same people for not taking advantage of America’s unique promise
And then money got involved and nothing mattered anymore anyway
