Here’s a short video that addresses the assault that the U.S. federal government is conducting on the health of people in red states and counties.

Of course, this is another fine example of what Lyndon Johnson said: “If you can convince the lowest white man that he’s better than the finest black man, he’ll open up his wallet to you.”

In this case, uneducated white people don’t care about their own ignorance or poverty or disease, as long as their president is vigorously punishing non-whites.

Gutting America’s Healthcare in Rural (MAGA) Areas

To the point being made at left, I’m a progressive, but I honestly couldn’t care less if white people of the American south want to wallow in incest, disease, poverty, and ignorance.

On the other hand, I am concerned about the plight of hungry children, homeless veterans, the collapse of the environment, the destruction of the educational system, and the criminal psychosis of the U.S. president.

Cynicism Incarnate

I had a friend who co-coached my son’s all-star soccer team with me 20+ years ago who told me, when I told him that I was an environmentalist, “Oh no, Craig, we must hasten to destroy the Earth, so as to welcome the return of Jesus Christ,” by which, of course, he meant the rapture, the apocalypse as discussed at length in Revelation.

I have heard some twisted s*** in my time, but this stands at or near the top.
