This is gonna be very insensitive, but ever since Americans gave a well known rapist and resident creep the presidency in a clear victory, I kinda stopped giving a shit about em. Americans routinely shit on the same human values the rest of the free world aspires to. Just read the UN human rights, Republicans openly oppose most of what's written there and Democrats don't care much either.

I mean women dying horrifying deaths in Russia, India or China rarely make the news, why should America be any different? It's fucking sad, but apparently that's what the American people want. Who am I to impose my foreign way of life on em? I was clearly mistaken to belive that the US has anything in common with us.

You’re right, it is insensitive. These women are suffering because the majority of voters suck. They may have voted a certain way, and then they might deserve it. But even then my guess is a big chunk of trump voters have no idea what the actual effect of his plans are, and are victims of propaganda.

Sure people are suffering elsewhere, but it’s always sad to see a country regress in freedom and health.
