My mother would be dead if it wasn't for Obamacare. She had cancer. And we live in a republican run state who said fuck the ACA and we were still able to get her health care. If people like McCain pass trump care my mom will never be able to get treatment again and she will die.
I don't want anyone to have cancer. Cancer is a horrible juggernaut that takes and takes and takes and leaves destruction and broken families in its aftermath.
But.
I want to feel sympathy for this man but I can't.
The actions of John McCain and his party have been grossly negligent in regards to the health of our country. They've shown no spine in regards to our president and they've put party over country, particularly with health care. Trump care would be a death sentence for people like my mom. Mccain has free health care but he wants people who are poor or sick not to have it because the rich need another tax cut. So how do I feel sympathy for a man in his position when he's incapable of showing that same sympathy to his fellow Americans?
I felt the same way when that republican got shot a few weeks ago. Sucks that it happened but at least he could get to a hospital and not worry about his injuries bankrupting him.
Republicans tend to only be for something when it has personally affected them. Cheney and his ilk were anti gay marriage until Cheney's kid came out. They hate access to healthcare until they need it. They seem completely incapable of empathy. I guess I'm getting there too, but it's because I can't have empathy or sympathy for people who want to fuck over their fellow man. I can't pretend to hope for the best when it comes to them because they wouldn't do it for me.
