What Do Anti-Trumpers Think About Trump Supporters by Adam-Troy Castro (2018)

In the last few weeks, a Facebook post has been circulating that answers the question, Why do liberals think Trump supporters are stupid. I append below the January 24, 2025 post from a Facebook user named Sue Bird as a recent example among many. The post is correctly attributed Adam-Troy Castro and it originated on his Facebook site on October 2, 2018.

Turns out that when your blood already has weird antibodies in it, finding an acceptable unit is no small chore. The main product of that hospitalization was connecting me with Michael Yen, who is now my hematologist/oncologist. Lacking available blood, he got my hemoglobin levels back up with a treatment regime of high doses of Prednisone. In the short term, that worked. Alas, it cannot be a permanent solution. He was also able to determine that I have autoimmune hemolytic ...
