Hey fuck face, you serve the public. Not the Republikan Party. You chose your profession, grow the fuck up.

yeah so are the local teachers not going to teach his kids and will the cashier not ring up his groceries?

They clearly will not. What now.

Wow. Imagine a world where hospital workers, firefighters, paramedics and EMTs stopped helping you based on politics and hate.

….

MAGA hat wearing person: walks into ED with chest pain

Registration and the nurse standing next to her: I’m sorry, you support MAGA Republicans, I can’t help you.

…..

Nazi arm sleeve: arrives in surgery

Surgeon: I’m sorry, call it off, I can’t help him.

….

House on fire with pride flag.

Firefighter: keep driving, let it burn, the people who live here don’t agree with me

….

EMT: oh look, a Star of David, leave him

….

Those scenarios don’t happen. The way it plays out in reality is everyone gets care because service professions are, or should be, neutral. If you can’t handle that, find another job.

I work in the ED in a heavily conservative area, every day I deal with magats, I treat them exactly how I treat every other patient... with contempt for interrupting my TikTok doom scrolling. /s

The police live in a different reality where they get to role play as a public servant without any of the responsibilities or oversight

Also, he isn’t actually sorry

This is not a mentally stable individual. He should be in a psych wards. Instead he has a gun and the law behind him. Jfc
