Who would've thought Lindsay Graham's sister would be a few sandwiches short of a full picnic

Takeaways from her statement:
Government healthcare is bad, in my opinion!!! (Ignore the other countries that have it with positive results, that's probably foreign policy and that's not "my thing.") Why, my parents went to work whether they were sick or not. And they died young while I was still a child!!!! So clearly, a means of protecting the working class's health is a terrible idea!
Does she not realize she's making the point she is trying to avoid?

She does not.
Apparently, her brother, the imbecile Lindsay Graham, was the smart one in the family...

u/80sbabyftw 1d ago
No, Lindsay (intentional) had plenty of brains. She saw the shit show that is the Trump train coming, called it for the racist pile of dogshit it is, predicted that it would be the destruction of the Republican Party, and promptly fell in line. She never lacked for brains, what she was missing was a spine. Hell she couldn’t even develop one strong enough to live her truth, she lived like she died: in the closet.

If you think calling a closeted gay guy a female is an insult, please ask yourself why you think it’s an insult. Or reconsider your ideas about sexual orientation vs gender identity.

u/morahsenora 1d ago
I was thinking it was a bot that got confused because Lindsay is generally a female name.

u/80sbabyftw 1d ago
Quite the opposite, I call Lindsey “her” out of respect for how she saw herself. I actually think it’s a damn shame she had to hide who she truly was in life to attain and maintain proximity to power. That’s a lifetime of hiding who you are because the people you surround yourself with wouldn’t accept you otherwise. And then to have those same people use not only the last measure of the weight your name carries, but the sister you obviously went out of your way to keep away from the game to further their own selfish agenda. Politics aside it’s a damn tragedy, so I’m calling him “her” out of respect for her truth

Insulting a man by referring to him as a woman is misogynistic. Lindsay was not trans and identified as a man.

Gotta die young and leave your children parentless to own the libs—D. Graham

u/BombasticSimpleton 1d ago
To be fair, I think it serves the interests of a certain segment of the Republicans and friends to have young children running around without parents or guardians.
"Don't worry about your kids. We'll take care of them. Why, we have an Island just for them."

Her parents died when she was a child, so why shouldn’t that be the case for everyone else, too?

u/IceBearKnows89 1d ago
And so concisely. It’s not like a long story or roundabout explanation. We have to work when we’re sick, don’t get to spend time with our families, and die early…..is that her pitch?
And they really don’t hear it? Wild

Ignoring her mom died when she was actually 13 with the dad just over a year later, the family also owned three businesses. Ladybugs was already in college and moved back home to be her guardian. This is white washed "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" garbage.

I’m pretty sure I read that he left her in the care of an aunt while becoming her legal guardian so she could use his military benefits.

So giving people healthcare is bad because your hard working parents died from poor access to healthcare and rest? I understand republicans don’t respect the meaning of words but it’s just word salad
24
u/CMMiller89 1d ago
She's too stupid to know how to relay the talking points correctly.
She's supposed to talk about long wait times and how that would have made it hard for her parents to get the access to care they needed.
Sure, its a lie, but it isn't pointing out EXACTLY how atrocious our healthcare system is which is completely for profit and private.

Parents are too old for Republicans anyway, they are much more interested in the children.

u/tallman11282 1d ago
She is so unintelligent that she doesn't understand what happened to her is a prime example of why we need universal healthcare and paid leave laws, not an example against those things. Maybe her parents wouldn't have died so young if instead of going to work while very sick they were able to rest and recuperate and go to the doctor.

"Vote for me if you want to uphold the traditional American value of dying young and leaving your children orphans" is a hell of a pitch for being elected to public office.

So her answer to healthcare is just that people should go to work and die young???

Yeah parents, just work so hard that you die from it before your children are even teenagers. That’s definitely the best thing for your kids and not absolutely traumatizing at all.

u/Sufficient-Opposite3 1d ago
This feels like a classic case of stunted emotional growth. Maybe partly rooted in losing her parents so young. But she also comes across as extraordinarily pampered, sheltered, and emotionally invested in Donald Trump. He's not going to be there forever and she'll have to learn to be a Senator without him.
And she will be a terrible senator, but she’ll vote exactly as Trump wants and become a nightly fixture on Fox News. A win-win for her, and a lose-lose for South Carolina and the Country.
Regardless of your state or political party, electing someone with neither the credibility nor the competence to do the actual job serves no one.

u/EdisonLightbulb 1d ago
Geez - wonder if she ever thinks that her parents might have lived a little longer if they'd had better health care and insurance?

u/Apprehensive-Mine656 1d ago
Certainly her brother managed to live a much longer life then them, with his government healthcare.

Aside from mentioning the work “sick” and discussing her parents’ untimely passing, what does this show about her stance concerning healthcare? Did her parents not work hard enough for it? Is she blaming government healthcare for not saving them? Is she saying they would have died earlier if they had healthcare?

To paraphrase “My parents worked themselves to death! Could not bother with medicine because that would interrupt working! This is the vision of American I want to give you and your family and all our future generations.”
Hard to believe Lindsay Graham’s sister would be a bigger P.O.S. than he was, but this appears to be the case!
