What I remember is that Trump wasn’t the one who impacted me directly. Sure, his mad “warp speed” policy gave the pharmaceutical companies an even more powerful blank check, but that doesn’t impact my day-to-day life. It was ridiculous, and should never have happened, but the transfer of wealth and rights between the government and private industry isn’t something that changes based on the party in power anymore.
The direct impact was all from Phil Murphy and others on his side. Now, I’m going to be clear: the government of the state of New Jersey has the right to do what they did. If I had the means and the ability, I would have had the right to move to a different state. The right of self-determination and nearly unfettered intranational mobility to live in the way you see as best is a large part of what makes the USA a strong nation. My situation is such that I didn’t have that option to leave. Had I been able to move, I might have very different views now.
But all that doesn’t mean I have any desire to support that administration, or anything aligned with them. So I’m not going to vote for them ever again. Because I was hurt and the people around me were hurt by the policies and laws they put in place and supported, and I’m not going to forgive them.

You should’ve switched with me. My state did little to nothing as our hospitals were overran and refers trucks were called in to hold the dead.
Chucklefucks like you are the reason people with trivial medical needs were dying because there was no room in hosptials.
