Read Eichenwald and understand that what Trump and the House Goopers did will harm more people than their scapegoats, the Muslims, could dream of hurting. And the horror of it is that the harm is being done to Americans by American elites -- y'know, the elites the Goopers thought Trump would save them from:



Kurt Eichenwald:


Last week, the House passed a bill that would push everyone with preexisting conditions back into the same situation. The representatives billowed and cooed that high-risk pools would protect us, fooling the same uneducated ones who didn’t know they paid for the uninsured. High risk pools had been tried before. They failed. But these members of congress probably didn’t even know that. They didn’t care enough to hold hearings to find out whether high-risk pools would work. They didn’t wait to find out how many people would lose their insurance. They had to rush it through. Then they cheered for themselves.

I watched Fox News. They giggled and laughed that people were being hysterical about preexisting conditions. There were high-risk pools, they sneered, that states could participate in unless they didn’t want to. I watched the clip, over and over, of those self-congratulatory members of Congress, high-fiving and smiling, as I knew the situation at my house was playing out at millions of houses where talking points and rationalizations didn’t change the realities of what we would face. I commented about how terrible this was. And then I saw comments from people deriding those with preexisting conditions as wanting charity.


I thought of members of Congress who wanted prisons as brutal as possible, until they themselves were jailed; then, they became advocates for prison reform. I thought of the ones who screamed about gays until their child came out, then they became tolerant. I thought about the members of Congress who happily sent other people’s children off to fight in Vietnam, while getting their own kids deferments and spots in the National Guard or reserves, making sure they wouldn’t see battle. And then I thought of the child whose parents home I visited, who told me of their boy dying of suffocation in his mother’s arms as they rushed to the hospital. They hadn’t been able to afford his inhaler that week. They had no insurance. They planned to buy it the week that followed. Their son died two days after they decided to take the risk.

And the members of Congress smiled and high-fived.

More people’s children would die. And the members of Congress smiled and high-fived.

People would be forced to take jobs they did not want or marry people they did not love.

And the members of Congress smiled and high-fived.

Americans that were voted for by the people to represent the people are committing mass murder on their fellow Americans. How does any of this Make America Great Again. Please don't fool yourself. It is in fact murder, mass murder of Americans.

3. I don't recognize America anymore, brer.

She is gone. When we celebrate Americans dying in the Rose Garden at our White House with cases of beer then we lost our souls.
