The Death Party

Republicans
1. Want to end social security and medicare and for a lot of our senior citizens that's all they have in terms of income in services protecting them at a time where they cannot work anymore

2. Republicans discourage people from taking the vaccine, fun fact more people died of covid in America after the vaccine was introduced than before. Largely because of the anti-vaccine rhetoric coming from the right.

3. Not one single Republican voted for the ACA

4. Republicans love Sending our children to die and wars they start for money, Or oil or whatever whim they can come up with.

5. And now republicans are pursuing a court case that could potentially destroy our democracy
And they actually have the Supreme Court in place to make this happen.

Can someone please explain to me why we do not refer to the Republican party, as the Death Party? Because every single one of their policies usually results in massive death.

Death, and destruction, seems to be what they worship.
I suppose they do since they believe their gods going to bring an end to everything at some point soon right?

Maybe we shouldn't give power to those who believe it's all going to be destroyed 🤷🏾?♀️

and he identifies more as a "libertarian", but he's lived in Florida for 20 years and it's apparently rotted his brain.
After my daughter's school experienced a real lockdown for guns in the school, the idea that 400 million isn't enough is absolutely sickening.

We could live in a country filled with guns and not fear anyone using them against the other
Example Switzerland

They actually have more guns than the United States the only differences in Switzerland women are allowed to make the decision about when they want to have a baby or not

I believe a lot of the extremely violent people in this country or in the ones the young ones that are prone to just shooting shooting up a school, if we could find out their true beginnings, we might discover that when their mother's had them their mother didn't really want them. but they had no choice So they gave birth to and raised the kid they never really loved and that kid grew up to become a school shooter or whatever else they do with their guns against other people.

My evidence of this is 20 years after rov v wade the crime in this country went down. 20 years after they started chipping away at it school shooters how old are they typically how old are the shooters usually between the ages of 18 and 30.

Granted we have some outliers that tend to be older than that.

When we live in a country where women are free to decide when they put their life on the line to bring life into this world, we will finally have a society with hopefully a lot more or less violent people.

And understand I'm not advocating that everyone needs a gun, what I'm saying is, if we treated each other better, if we respected women come we couldn't have a loving society that can live with a million guns and never use them against each other

And we can all say that that's a pipe dream, but Switzerland's doing it🤷🏾?♀️
