Long story short: this is indeed a thing for which fascism will feel compelled to punish you for.

And let me tell you: I know for a fact my diagnosis was delayed and more permanent damage was done to my body because their egos didn’t like how much more right I was than the folks who diagnosed all of that with “non-organic” illness (“functional neurologic disorder”), which is just hysteria.

God, this.

Every major biopsy-confirmed and imaging confirmed diagnosis confirmed by my tender age of 40 (including small fiber neuropathy, Parkinsonism, both nested inside a rare and caustic autoimmune called granulomatosis with polyangiitis) were ones which I put forward first.

It’s true

so why are dems rallying around someone with the same beliefs

The most honest thing a Republican has ever said.

Holy fucking shit
