They told you the real threat was the guy sweating on your roof in July, or the woman wiping your grandma’s chin for 10 bucks an hour. And you bought it.

You waved the flag chanted “USA!” while they took your healthcare, kid’s lunch, destroyed your farms to give billions to billionaires.

If yall had started protesting on Inauguration Day things wouldn’t have gotten this far. You’ve shown no real resistance because you’re waiting for someone else to do it.

That very much translates into “I know I’ll be ok for longer than THEY will”.

And I’m talking to ALL OF YOU.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.
