You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

“POTS only affects patients when they stand.”
Standing is just one symptom to POTS (one of many, and a major one.)
POTS patients have symptoms standing, sitting, and lying down.
Symptoms may be better sitting or lying down, but they're still there.
All day.

We as chronically ill and /or disabled folks can't deny the fact that we are always in need of other people's help ,even if we avoid being in such position.

Yes, who cares what "ism?"
So you'd sign up for Communism if it meant healthcare, rent, and groceries were affordable.

You won't be any better at fighting what's coming if you burn yourself out and spend all your time feeling bleak and hopeless, and the people telling you that it's all despair now probably don't have anyone's best interest at heart.
