Resist: It's Time

We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."
The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.
The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.
It's time.

First, don't stereotype. Many older men are anti-Trump.
Second, making help dependent on political views makes us no better than MAGA.
This is a reductionist statement that discards people based on a flawed and imposed perception of them.
Finally, and the least important point of all, many of the men you are talking about have social media histories which refute your claim. As I said, this doesn't matter because even MAGA chuds deserve healthcare.
This feels like 1 spite politics, or 2 bot propaganda to defend dehumanizing Republican actions.
Gross.
The person you responded to made two claims. One stating Trump doesn't care about firefighters and another stating that Trump will rep your company if you pay him enough. They didn't claim anything about "older men". They didn't even claim that many of them DID vote for Trump. They just wondered how many of them might have voted for Trump and are now experiencing a "Leopards ate my face" moment.
You're putting words into someone else's mouth and that's what's gross.
I understand the debate perversion nitpicking you are engaging in, and it's a silly way to intentionally misunderstand someone.
The firefighters are all older men due to their profession and the nature of time. I understand their claim, you understand mine. I am not rejoicing in causing harm to others, and you are. I will gladly maintain an opposing view to people who think in that manner.
Where were they rejoicing in causing harm?
Genuinely, you may not be understanding their claim
"Many"?
Pfft. That ephemeral claim implies hope in hidden numbers but is pitifully lacking IRL, and slopping that limp dick around is irresponsible at best (meanwhile, signaling to your fellow citizens that maybe you're not doing so hot, on the inside).
"Many", in this instance, is a wheezy rallying cry with zero confidence, squeaking up from an impacted minority that wishes their impotence in the face of oppression were anything but.
No. They don't — unless by that you meant "the most efficient, humane kind of EoL healthcare that a dollar can buy", then by all means.
