I like the part about no new spending is needed. Should we translate that to we will divert people looking into measles and covid to this?

    Weird I didn’t see the second half of your comment when I first replied. You’re absolutely right and I’m terrified. The social-political environment and economy that allowed the rise of the nazis in Germany have been happening in America for decades. There are so many parallels and then within 6 months in office a LOT of big stuff is happening really fast. Federal institutions completely gutted, harassment of the employees by their government, deportation of citizens, removing birthright citizenship, and now wanting a medical diagnosis for anyone who disagrees with them.

    It is absolutely terrifying and I no longer feel safe sharing my opinion anywhere because I don’t know how dangerous it will be in the future.
