Consequences

For the MAGA republicans cheering on the destruction of institutions here in the US, a note of what you will have wrought.

I have friends who are retired USAID leaders – friends whose tears I witness as they wonder not just for their colleagues left stranded in countries around the world, but for the human lives that will be wrecked or lost because of your (MAGA republicans’) actions.

Here is from ProPublica: https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-doge-rubio-usaid-musk-death-toll-malaria-polio-tuberculosis

One million children will go untreated for severe malnutrition, up to 166,000 people will die from malaria and 200,000 more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next decade, the memos estimated. The programs were cut anyway.

Just to put this in perspective – MAGA republicans are willing to wreck lives to kill roughly 1.2% of the US budget. 1.2% – that is according to Pew Research.
