“And they have the audacity to try to brand this as Christian. What does that word even mean to them? Wearing a necklace?” AOC added
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) again slammed Republicans for supporting Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill as the initiative gets closer to passing in the Lower House.
The lawmaker wrote the post while responding to an article by the New York Times, which detailed that a “conga line of angsty Republican lawmakers filed through the West Wing on Wednesday, hemming and hawing about the” bill only to walk out with “signed merchandise, photos in the Oval Office and, by some accounts, a newfound appreciation for the bill.”
As much as I agree with your analysis, living in a rural town in a red state, it’s mostly poor, white people here. It’s a healthcare desert now. They will die just as fast as minorities in urban areas.
Oh absolutely. Minorities will disproportionately suffer and die, but nothing close to exclusively.
More broadly, disadvantaged people will suffer and die. Minorities are already overrepresented among the disadvantaged and under the overtly bigoted policies of the Trump regime, they will be even more overrepresented, but that’s just something of a bonus to the would-br oligarchs. They’re excited at the prospect of culling poor people, pretty much regardless of the details.
