People are, ofc, apoplectic about cuts to medicare. The reason that the cuts to special olympics funding is especially galling is that it's just plain old cruella deville shit. We've become accustomed to the usual rightwing cruelty....but that comes straight out of a cartoon.
I get that news cycles can seem odd..but the use of the news cycle to do one terrible thing, get veryone talking about it, and then do ten that fly under the radar is the point. It would be just as useful to the ghouls in charge if we focused on the one, medicare..while they did ten other things.
At some point we're going to realize that this presidency doesn't just need to end, it needs to be annulled.
