Nazis are evil.
The bag of scum coated in orange mold is evil.
The guy who is pro-torture of lgbt kids is evil.

Most of the cabinet members seem evil. Even those that might really be ignorant are adults in the center of politics who have no good reason to still behave the way they do. They have been told, many times over, that what they are doing is wrong. They’ve been told why.

There are people who would say evil is a strong word. They’re right. There are people who would remind me that everyone I’m talking about is human. Yes. Humans are capable of evil.

Evil is not just a thing for fairy tales and fiction. Word have meanings, and we are allowed to call evil what it is: sexual assault, mocking disabled reporters, lying your way into a position where you can hurt millions of people, just because it’s convenient for you and your friends.

Rhetoric is important, and that’s part of why we need to call this what it is: evil.

Evil is smashing a functioning medicare system without a replacement in place and not giving a damn that people will die.

Evil is taking financial support from the drug companies who hike their prices to extortionate levels and leave their low-income patients scraping by and dying because they can’t afford their life-saving medications.

Evil is making it legal for medical professionals to deny care to people they consider ‘sinful’ even if it will kill them, in direct contravention of the Hippocratic oath.

Evil is denying cancer screenings and AIDS tests and all the other health services that Planned Parenthood offer because ‘abortions’ and ignoring the fact AGAIN that people will die.

When your actions will have the repercussions of causing the deaths of innocent people and you don’t care, YOU ARE EVIL.

Evil is running a campaign based on fear of people who look different than you, knowing that people will die

Evil is introducing legislation making protests of all of the above illegal because you know you can get away with it now that your damned puppet is in power.
