How is it sensible to assume something based on speculation within a patient group? There is a flip side to false hope, you know.

What value judgments are you referring to? Do you even know what that term means? I can’t stand how rude people are in this forum, and that post was particularly disgusting. For the record, I believe Trump is a fascist, and unfortunately, Americans are in for a lot of pain. However, this...

Very well written—the part about your grandmother really struck a chord with me. Sadly, you won’t get any response. I had a somewhat similar post about Trump and fascism, but it fell on deaf ears. As they say, we can all have different opinions, but we can’t have different facts. MAGA beliefs...
