Adults on Medicaid will be required to work 80 hours per month. The Trump administration says people who are sick will have to prove they are too sick to work to be exempt from the new work rules.

I’m so sorry you’re facing this and I hope you’re able to get through all of this and back to health.
I think it’s less Darwinism and more Just World Fallacy. If you believe in a just world, then it means anyone who’s sick did something to deserve to be sick, so culling them is getting rid of bad people. And sadly, that fits perfectly within religious dogma because if you believe God is almighty and omnipotent, then it’s easy to believe that God would keep good people healthy and only let bad people get sick; or at least if good people are sick it’s “God’s plan.”
The reason naming it is worse than Darwinism because is because the Just World view is logically consistent with their world view, making it even harder to convince them of anything else.
I mean that’s fair to say about a lot of christians, but Trump literally learned from his father and family that sickness and frailness is weakness that should be exploited. He took all he learned and exploited his sick father before his death, just like he was taught to. Trump is not some christian, he does not believe in a just world, those who surround him ascribe to the same mafia politics, even if they hide it behind faux-christianity. The people actually running this government and making these decisions aren’t actually christians, they don’t believe in anything, they’re more like Ayn Rand than anyone.
Yeah, fair. Difference in politicians making the policy vs people supporting those politicians. I was thinking about the supporters, but your comment was more about the politicians.
For sure, my focus is on the the people actually crafting the policy. Sure the idiotic christian voters vote these people in, but those idiotic christian voters often actually support things like universal healthcare if you describe it without using the words “universal healthcare.” They vote the politicians in for entirely different reasons and then the politicians just do what they were gonna do anyway and screw everyone over while making themselves rich.
