The simple fact that they are so opposed to someone else getting access to healthcare is ghoulish, regardless of the outright lie they parrot out ad infinitum; which was the same racist dog whistle that prevented universal healthcare under Truman.

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today.

h/t @tisserand.bsky.social

Scan of a typed letter from 1970, from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, addressed to "Joel Lipton, 622 N. Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210"

It reads:

"Dear Joel:

I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen than it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country.

I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities.

Sincerely yours,

Charles M. Schulz"

Both of these attitudes happened in less than 5 days between them. MAGA experiences mood whiplash in record time.

This person looks like every person in a Lovecraft story who found truths that he should not have seen & have slowly gone mad with the revelation.
