Someone wrote a really good piece for a Conservative Christian forum explaining why disabled people find the election result threatening and appealing for the readers to look at the situation from our viewpoint and with Christian understanding. The replies were appalling, some of the worst self-righteous disablism I've ever seen (one of the reasons I was really depressed early in the week). Several disability activitists, including me, replied to some of the worst of them. After several exchanges one of  them has just told me "The image of God that man was created in has been distorted by the evil one since the Fall and that is why people have disabilities. The gospel is explicit about that."

Headdesk.
