And you wonder why fewet and fewer Americans are taking your side seriously, or supporting your agenda. You put forth absurd policies, ostensibly based on good intentions, but which any rational person can clearly see will fail to produce the claimed benefits, and which will have net harmful consequences. And you are certain that those who oppose these destructive policies must do so out of sinister motives, rather than to prevent or mitigate the harm that your policies would cause.Conservatives: Is your goal to cause suffering and death? What I am saying do you accept that a few tens of thousands will die yearly being worth not having healthcare for all.
Is this moral?
We aim to reduce human suffering and death, which is why we oppose destructiveleftwrong-wing policies.
That may well be your reason. I don't for a minute believe that is the conservative members' of Congress, Trump's reason, and the reason of thousands, maybe millions, of other conservatives. I truly think they oppose all sorts of things merely because their political opponents support them. To wit, consider Trump's steadfast refusal to get fully informed about healthcare, foreign policy, and other stuff that, because he's POTUS, he needs to fully understand. Rather, the man is concerned only with understanding how the winds of popular opinion blow. That's not sage leadership. It's not rationally considering a proposal on its balance of merits and demerits. That's pandering and/or following, depending on how one behaves and remarks about the matter involved.
