Nobody* is saying The Deplorables shouldn't get health care.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

To deprive anybody of health care is deplorable. If we deprived them of health care we would become deplorable.

That doesn't mean there isn't a price to be paid by the Deplorables for saddling us with a bigoted, misogynistic, xenophobic, ableist, nativist, sociopathic, and treasonous leader.




*Almost nobody

1. I don't lie awake at night...

...worrying if tRump voters will lose their coverage.

I'll just put it that way.

[Jim Beard]

2. As Ann Richards and Molly Ivans said, you are going to have to dance with ........

the one that brung you. I caused a stir when I was local Democratic Party Chairman. I insisted all my election helpers be Democrats. That caused problems with election workers who worked the General Election. You are with me or you are not with me.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. I am not with the Deplorables, lol.

We all have enemies, despite what the good book says. What do I want to happen to my worst enemies? I'll stop at humiliation. I want to see Trump and them turned into complete jokes.

[Jim Beard]

4. I do too.

Ann and Molly wouldn't dance with anyone other than the Democrats that brung them to the dance. Same as I was for paying for only Democrats to work for the Democrats.

5. WE ALL voted to keep giving them healthcare. THEY voted to have it taken away from themselves.

WE didn't do this. If we don't whip ourselves while we sit back and watch THEIR actions redound on them, that's because we have nothing to feel guilty about, and because it will be very, very interesting to see their reaction to their own mistakes.

9. Correct.

I will not feel sorry for those who belatedly learn the consequences of their actions.

My sorrow is for those who tried to maintain it (and the rest of America)

[NBachers]

6. I will allow them to occupy the world they have created and advocated for.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. The problem with that is we get punished too.

[Ms. Toad]

8. Thank you for being so willing to "allow" my daughter to die

When she no longer has access to health care for her $40,000 - $60,000 a year health problem.

You cannot allow them to occupy the world they have created and advocated for without it having an identical impact on the rest of us.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. I don't want the Deplorables to be deprived of health care.

But there has to be a reckoning for them turning their back on democracy.

[Ms. Toad]

13. You can't hope for reckoning with them, in the form of social policies

without being willing to sacrifice my daughter, and others like her.

That is the exact same choice that I found hardest to move past following the election. While friends who voted for Trump were not necessarily racists, bigots, etc., they WERE willing to sacrifice me, my family, my Muslim, brown, trans, etc. friends for their goal (which was largely to avoid putting Hillary in office).

It really is no more acceptable to me that some progressives believe - or at least expressly saying - that they are willing to sacrifice my daughter toward the goal of ensuring Trump voters have their wrecking day.

10. there are a LOT of people saying they shouldn't get health care

Powerful people, too. Mostly congressional republicans.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. I should have said almost nobody on the left.

[Stinky The Clown]

14. For every deplorable that loses healthcare, an angel gets his wings.
