(35,126 posts)I am told this is the fight for our lives, and I believe it... The words of others and what I see personally. My nephew, the closest I have to progeny, who suffers from a rare disease and has to take expensive medicine every day, my whole family worries about what is going to happen if CHIP programs are cut or of course when he gets older. What if he needs a transplant?
I am tired of being told to chill out. I am tired of other people acting like this is a storm we can just hunker down and ride out until next year, I don't have that option if CHIP is cut. I actually know Muslim Americans and refugees, I've never told them that in a year, it will all be OK because it's ludicrous, when I see ACT for America with Trump on speed dial just saying "We're not there yet" when someone says to kill all the Muslims.
This isn't some storm to ride out, this is a war, and I'm not seeing anything beyond "Fill out appropriate paperwork and maybe in a year we can change this... maybe."
