    It literally will be the end for some people.

    A quick example is the girl in Texas who died because the three different emergency hospitals denied her due to abortion rights. This sort of thing will now only increase and spread to LGBTQ+ people. Suicide rates will increase because things are so dismal and the hate is being allowed to spread even more.

    Economic policies will affect the poorest the most causing even more desperation with food and housing insecurity. Mental health will plummet.

    This “we must continue to push on” message is nice and all, but it’s not comforting, nor is it enough. We need more than just a message of “things will get better slowly, so just hold on and keep trying” because it’s not going to help keep our people housed, fed, or kept safe from the bigots.
