Democrats are going to let Republicans ban federal dollars for trans healthcare, essentially putting it in the same position as abortion access. That means I'll probably lose my hormones and fucking die.
While you're such a big fucking adult, you'll let them kill me and fucking vote for it.
If we're ever allowed to vote again.
Let?
Quite frankly you need to wake up and realize fellow Americans were too fucking lazy to vote Democrat for you. There's nothing Democrats can do now.
Perhaps try blaming Republicans and their voters too.
They could filibuster, like Republicans do every time Democrats try anything. It works for them!
They won't.
Instead, as soon as Republicans get elected they can kill any minority they want. The only obstruction comes from other Republicans. Democrats just roll over.
And I guarantee at least a few Democrats will reach across the aisle to help, and the rest will do nothing to obstruct, because they want to punish minorities for not winning them the election. Obstruction would be uncivil! It'd violate the norms!
And then I'll fucking die.
And you'll just sit around and wait a couple years to vote for them again after their complicity got me killed because you can not imagine anything else.
Or maybe you want me to die too.
