See the difference?

All Male vs All Female


GOP making healthcare decisions for women:


But the lack of women here, among a group of conservative Republicans discussing their healthcare bill with the vice-president, struck a particular nerve.

That's because one of the points under discussion was whether the new bill should mandate that health insurance plans provide "essential benefits" including maternity services.

In January, the White House came in for some flak when President Trump signed an abortion order surrounded by men.

Democrats making healthcare decisions for women:


Today, I convened leading medical experts and reproductive rights advocates to make clear:
@POTUS
and I stand with them in the fight to protect reproductive health care.

All old white men discussing health care n “essential benefits “ including maternity services?? Something they’ll never experience or understand but women gotta live with. The second photo is much more inclusive for now but what happens if we don’t have another adm with our values?

No offense intended at all old white men. Just those in photo #1 and their supporters

Americans who subscribe - in too many cases FIERCELY subscribe - to that old bullshit. And they won’t let go.

Some of them will see this and pump fists with an in-yer-face, cockeyed, almost irrational pride. Old grievances and obsolete positioning die hard. VERY hard. There are some in this country who will “go down with the ship” out of sheer spite and a messed-up sense of entitlement and grievance. And there’s that bad old dynamic in play, too: nobody likes to admit they were wrong. And a fair amount of people just won’t admit or concede that, period.

...They have no contact with anyone but their own beliefs. With no contact, their is ...no change.

You believe certain things are true, then that is what you believe. About other people, other races, rich people,
poor people, people who have no food...(yes, they exist in the U.S.A) no cars, no place to live, etc. etc. etc.

One thing people have and that is clothes. So, people don't look poor. Do they? Clothes are cheap and some
used clothes look very good. What is the point? There are a lot of poor people in this country too. Millions of people.
Yes, millions!! You don't believe, then look it up. Our social net does not take care of everyone. Read about it, then,
contact agencies that know the truth.

Keep in mind, the old bullshit in the minds of those that believe, believe it to be true. Pump fists are a sign of what?
........Nazis ...that is what...You have to study world history to know that.. How many people that believe that ....
...".old bullshit:...even know who the Nazis were? Very sad ...
