Letters: Hypocrisy of MAGA repudiates principles of the US
"Not long ago, Donald Trump and his supporters exalted Kyle Rittenhouse for going to a protest in a state he didn't live in and killing two protesters with the assault rifle he brought. We can note their hypocrisy as they now maintain that ER nurse Alex Pretti got what he deserved for legally carrying a handgun at the protest where he was killed by ICE agents, despite never brandishing it or acting with menace."
"However, I feel that mere hypocrisy, "the compliment that vice pays to virtue," doesn't capture the deliberate bad faith of Donald Trump's world. This administration wants to preempt any acknowledgement that what they're doing is wrong; their hypocrisy insists that logical consistency and reality itself must yield to their almighty power. It's a repudiation of every tenet of our country's founding documents and a slap in the face of every patriotic American that should infuriate us all."
"As someone who depends on Kaiser for my health issues, I can say that the striking employees are speaking the truth when they point out that the patients are suffering from long wait times. Usually, by the time I get to see my doctor, most of my symptoms have already disappeared on their own or have become serious enough for me to end up in the ER."
Donald Trump supporters praised Kyle Rittenhouse for traveling to a protest and killing two protesters with an assault rifle, yet condemn ER nurse Alex Pretti for legally carrying a handgun when he was killed by ICE agents. The administration's behavior reflects deliberate bad faith that seeks to override logical consistency and reality, repudiating the country's founding tenets and infuriating patriotic Americans. The Kaiser strike exemplifies systemic failures in US health care, with understaffing causing long patient wait times and increased emergency visits. Health workers are overworked and underpaid, and restoring sufficient staffing is necessary to protect patient health.
