yeah and we’re also on the chopping block with cuts to social security, ACA repeal, medicare cuts, undermining ADA. I had to learn the hard way that this country’s government and it’s people at best do not give a fuck about us and at worst actively hate us and would prefer if we just died. I’m trying to temper my reaction but it’s hard to forget that disabled people were among the very first targets of the holocaust.
Disabled people weren’t targeted like Jews were, the genocide of disabled people by Nazis was brutal and was one of their first, but it was also silent and discreet. They started by cutting all benefits, making lots of disabled people starve to death, than they made doctors “help” disabled people by “euthanising” them, they called it a “treatment” but it was murder.
