like him.

I am afraid of him, them.

I think, no I believe he and his ilk want me dead.

For real.

No, no thanks. But GREAT you are so BRAVE!



Yeah, I wish I was kidding.

This fixation I have on their desire to kill us. I do this simply by cutting out the middle step he and those like him dont necessarily have to be personally involved in.

Refuse to fix emissions? death
Work tirelessly to eliminate food assistance? death
Work tirelessly to eliminate to eliminate healthcare for all but the wealthy? death
Work tirelessly to eliminate Social Security and Medicare? death
Work tirelessly to eliminate to make sure government has no power at all over corporations which have the power to poison and kill? death

I could go on. But there is a common theme here, easy to figure out.

More things Republicans and Trump want to cause you death:

More coal mining and more deaths
Less regulations on everything safety related and more deaths
More guns and more deaths
More carbon emissions and more deaths
Etc.

Is Hell in need of repopulation?

6. I've often asked the Republicans I know, what is it you want to happen to poor Americans

When you strip away their assistance?

Do you want them to starve? Freeze to death? Heat stroke?

Are you willing to stand by and watch this happen? Would you feel one ounce of remorse, or would you be giddy with hostile pride?

And what about their kids? Let them die too?

They all live in a make believe world of platitudes and slogans, promoting a way of life that never existed and ignorant of the real life terrifying consequences their so-called beliefs would bring.

That's why they're against abortion AND against assisting young mothers who decide to have the baby.

Nevermind the fact that their morals and values shift 180 degrees when they are the ones who unexpectedly lose their job or have a daughter who comes home from high school to tell them that she is pregnant.

7. The honest ones will admit they believe healthcare is a limited resource.

They believe that, especially the wealthy ones.

Which means, simply, yes, some will die.

They want this, why wont they just admit it?

Here is the problem with that, the very ones who will DIE will cheer when this is brought up.

This is called "tribalism" and it is deadly.

8. They've been dining on a diet of propaganda for decades

They've been conditioned to believe that everything we say is a lie. They don't doubt their puppet masters. They don't think about the consequences of what they've been told. They've been made to react like Pavlov's dog to every stimulus that Rush or FOX assaults them with. They don't even realize that the rhetoric they believe in actually hurts them personally.

Like you say, they will die because of their beliefs, which is highly ironic.

12. Your favorite President (me)????

Oh wow, the man has to be delusional. He lost America's popular vote. He thinks CNN is Not a network and he won't throw Fox into the competition because he knows they would win the fake news trophy.

Can you imagine any other president tweeting something so pathetic? Well maybe Reagan in his later years or W while drunk but they both would have valid excuses.
