While I read about the experiences of people living in Flint, Michigan, whose children have been poisoned as a result of policies instituted by Michigan’s Republican Gov. Rick Snyder and his administration, my husband was playing a song by Roberta Flack. As the lyrics flowed around me “…killing me softly with his song ...” they turned into a dirge in my head, and I couldn’t help but think of all the examples of Republican legislation that is killing people for real.

The “death panels” were hyped by Sarah Palin in an effort to target the Affordable Care Act (ACA). For her fictional exploits, she was awarded “lie of the year” by Politifact in 2009. But her lie was pointing at Democrats, when in actuality it is the Republican Party—ostensibly the “pro-life” group—who sow death and destruction.

Republican governors, Republican-controlled legislatures across the nation, and Republicans in Congress vote to attempt to ensure that certain Americans will go without health care, food, affordable and adequate housing, and safe neighborhoods. They legislate so that certain Americans will die in the death chamber, drink unclean water, breathe dirty air, and shoot themselves and and their neighbors with guns.

They embrace war, and scorn peace. Turning their backs on climate change, and embracing denial—they kill the planet.

They are killing us harshly.

live forever, and have room to, unless the people get thinned out continuously and in all manner.
