Let’s talk for a minute about COVID. Recent statistics posted by the CDC show that the top ten states with the highest per capita death rates from COVID are all under the control of Republican governors. It is amazing that these merchants of death continue to rail against vaccinations and wearing of masks. These libertarians are truthfully nothing more than power seeking demagogues. They don’t care about the well-being of their states’ populations. All they care about is their relentless pursuit of false narratives in the hope of political gain.
One of the worst of the worst is Ron DeSantis. Oh, I pray for the people of Florida. If Floridians re-elect him as governor and strengthen his hand as a possible presidential contender in 2024, Republican Floridians deserve nothing but contempt and ridicule from other Floridians and the rest of the country.
What is funny (okay, not really funny, but hear me out) is that in doing all of this, the GOP are effectively killing off their own base! Although does it matter much, considering 2020 was just a dry run for them to steal it in 2024?
Your comment so captures the bitter irony of their COVID failures and the disproportionate impact on their own voters.
As demographics continue to change, the Republican Party seems to think its only way to maintain power is to stir distrust in our elections, to pass laws that institutionalize voter suppression, and to put people in place who administer elections, count votes, and report vote totals who are more than willing to nullify actual results if those results are not what they desire.
It is a very depressing state of affairs that must be fought with every fiber of our beings. Losing this fight is not an option.
