A party that wants to govern is proudly parading a woman who demanded buildings full of people be burnt down, platforming an imbecile who thinks vaccines caused cancer in the royals, and parading a ‘star line-up’ of weirdos who can’t even sing the national anthem. Er, off you fuck. 👋

This is how they play bait & switch to sanitize the country of people who are too poor to pay medical bills. We have shittiest healthcare in the civilized world and there are countries we might not consider civilized who have much better healthcare than we do. Trump & the GOP are all about death.
