You would think Rs pulling healthcare away from people would hurt them, but it remains to be seen if it actually will.

I mean, it will, in the sense that their voters will die or flee at higher rates, so they'll lose seats as the political center of gravity shifts to cities and as population drops. It's just people shouldn't have to die for that to happen.

They will hold onto power in-between censuses and will have 2 senators do it will take far longer for the consequences to bubble up.

The consequences of a hospital or nursing home closure are immediate and godawful. The map consequences may take a while, but the angry mobs will show up fast.

Sincerely I would not wish a hospital closing on fucking anyone. It's probably the worst thing you can do to a town that doesn't involve military action. It is insane that it's even on the table.

Nah we know exactly what will happen. They’ll tune into Fox News, cheer while they watch ICE beat up brown people, the OD because they’d rather hurt brown people than live.
