Their party defunded Planned Parenthood in Ohio, leaving poor Ohioans at risk of losing the one medical provider they can afford. They couldn’t outlaw abortion so they restricted abortion providers nearly out of existence in most areas. They’ve tried passing laws all across the country to make it so trans people have to drive all the way home to use a restroom.
They rendered the ACA more or less pointless in my state and many others through their control of state legislatures. They conned the Supreme Court into gutting the VRA and then turned around and tried to re-enact the racist voting laws we put a stop to in the civil rights era.
All before the election with only a slight majority in the U.S. congress.
It’s not a simple disagreement if they’ve decided I shouldn’t exist and they’re going to make it less likely that I’ll continue existing.
Maybe the bulk of them are misguided and didn’t really hope for all of the above. I’ll do my best to cut through the slogans wherever I can and make sure the consequences of those positions shine through.
But I’m not giving them a pass on what they’ve actually done.
