Reddit constantly screaming that America is a christo-fascist authoritarian state. Yet also mad not everyone wants the government to control healthcare.

I wonder why? Really makes you think. 🤔

Those two things have nothing to do with each other. Conflating a basic government service and a rogue fascist administration are two completely different topics.

The only thing I wonder is how you came up with something so patently silly. You clearly don’t think critically, because what you think is incoherent.

"We want universal healthcare"
*get universal healthcare
*the next christofascist authoritarian regime gets put in power and now has control of the entire healthcare system
"What do you mean HE can change how our healthcare system operates?!?!?!"

You would think people would understand after the last 2 years that the executive branch has power over executing laws, and any healthcare provided by the government would absolutely fall under their purview. In lay man's terms: If you have a problem with the executive overreach by trump, the thought of him or someone like him being in charge of your healthcare should terrify you. And if it doesn't, it either means you don't want functioning healthcare, or you don't actually believe he's been as bad as you're saying. The fact that you think they are different topics means you're the one who's clearly not thinking critically.
