Do Democrats believe in disabled rights. ?
Why do developmentally disabled adults end up being abused mentally and treated like slaves by their own family members and get away with it, meanwhile we have MANE, and other protections that we can't even use when we need them.

Democrats traditionally have always stood up for disability rights, while Reublicans rarely do. People treat their disabled children poorly because most of us have grown up thinking they are lesser beings. Blame segregated education, recreation, housing, and emplyment partly for that. People we have not grown up alongside we tend to think less of. So when we age we fail to treat them as equals. Social isolation invites abuse. Poor wages for caregivers invites abuse. Below poverty level benefits supports marginalization. Over time things have improved, but no where near what they need to.
