With the news that the Trump administration's proposed fiscal budget devastates disability assistance programs and would ultimately result in the institutionalization of more senior and disabled American, I expanded my thoughts on why that decision is heartless and evil, while placing it in the context of the overall monstrous eugenicist agenda of both the Trump regime, and the larger ruling Republican Party.

Nina-Bytes: Only the Able Count in Trump’s America
"This ablest ideological plank is built around the idea that Americans who can’t work are not valid members of our society and represent an active drain on limited public resources, which by implication makes them irrelevant, if not an active hinderance to the capitalist order. None of this is metaphoric in nature; you can find numerous recent examples of the Trumpenreich openly acknowledging this relationship between the ability to make a rich person money and human worth. Consider HHS Secretary RFK Jr’s dehumanizing rants about autism and autistic Americans, as well as ongoing GOP attempts to defend the homicidal class war budget reconciliation bill they’re trying to ram through the Senate. These openly eugenicist declarations are always hidden behind a purely symbolic commitment to somehow protect society’s “most vulnerable people” in undefined ways, but the proof is in the policy pudding, and everything about the Pork Reich’s agenda seems to either ignore the existence of, or actively harm, anyone who cannot work even through no fault of their own – including aging and disabled Americans in the labor class."
PS: I apologize for the lazy lib-posting title; my editor was busy when I finished this up yesterday morning and by the time I got it back it was late at night and I was pretty burn out, exhausted, and just happy to hit publish forgetting I'd left that as a placeholder. I promise to come up with something better in the future; my bad, especial since I've used that phrasing a couple times already but sincerely, lol.
