about wanting the country run by a TV gameshow host?
We're approaching 44K deaths in just 7 weeks!
You would think at least some Republicans would be reevaluating their decision....

That would be the US economy in case you're wondering.
Dan Patrick is merely underscoring his previous comments that older Americans should be willing to sacrifice themselves on the altar of capitalism.
More important things than living????
For an economy that is 70% consumer driven, a statement like this sounds ludicrous, beyond laughable.
But for Republicans this sentiment appears to make sense, even though it would've been deemed monstrous back in the day.
Will they regret this stance?
Yes, when they lose power in November. Then we can expect another autopsy where the blame will be fully transferred to Donald Trump. Without any reflection or hint of hypocrisy. Because the GOP sold its critical-thinking abilities in Trumplandia where right and wrong are defined by who holds the reins of power.
It's one of many, sordid reasons why the Grotesque Old Party has reached its expiration date, forever.
