Seeing stuff like this hurts to read. Sure a large majority who get hurt will probably be “those people” Sure it’s great it doesn’t affect you personally. It all just sounds incredibly callous and privileged to dismiss the suffering of others.
My fiancee and her mother have been spending every minute of visiting hours at the hospital. My fiancee’s father has been teetering on the verge of death. Their benefits and insurance are on the cutting block. Upon hearing about this news he mother came to us crying because she doesn’t know what they will do without it.
These are retired veterans who put in their time and have always voted left and for progressive policies. They are also some of the most caring and supportive people I’ve ever met. My fiancee often jokes that her mom loves me more than my own mother.
I don’t have any good solution, but it feels like it would be better not to wish for harm to befall people because it doesn’t impact you or any good people you know.

Did they vote for Trump? Because if so, womp womp. Don’t fucking care.
Otherwise, I wish them the best.
