Trump and the Republicans have repeatedly told us that they support health insurance that covers preexisting conditions. Well, this week, while the country was fighting a raging pandemic, Trump and his cronies asked our Supreme Court to kill the only federal law that covers preexisting conditions.
There is no end to the cruelty that Trump is willing to impose on our citizens. We have observed helpless children separated from their parents and locked in cages; tax legislation for the ultra-rich that further disadvantaged the poor; hate-filled rhetoric designed to prejudice the country against ethnic and racial minorities; and a president’s unabashed willingness to unleash our military and justice system to enforce his cruel policies.
Unless we want to live in an autocracy that rejects notions of fundamental fairness and justice, we must remove Trump and his sycophants from office this fall. We can’t withstand four more years of this madness.

Note from KBJ: Donald Trump is the greatest president of our lifetimes, Stephen. Stop being an asshole.
