(5,275 posts)I continually ponder the difference between Republican Trump lovers and Republicans that despise him like we do. Some of it is how far right they are but its not that simple.
One thing is clear....Republicans like Jim Jordan would stick with this dumb evil Psychopath if he did randomly shoot someone on 5th Avenue.....and that is twisted and sick.

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/07/how-jared-kushners-secret-testing-plan-went-poof-into-thin-air
But the effort ran headlong into shifting sentiment at the White House. Trusting his vaunted political instincts, President Trump had been downplaying concerns about the virus and spreading misinformation about itefforts that were soon amplified by Republican elected officials and right-wing media figures. Worried about the stock market and his reelection prospects, Trump also feared that more testing would only lead to higher case counts and more bad publicity. Meanwhile, Dr. Deborah Birx, the White Houses coronavirus response coordinator, was reportedly sharing models with senior staff that optimisticallyand erroneously, it would turn outpredicted the virus would soon fade away.
Against that background, the prospect of launching a large-scale national plan was losing favor, said one public health expert in frequent contact with the White Houses official coronavirus task force.
Most troubling of all, perhaps, was a sentiment the expert said a member of Kushners team expressed: that because the virus had hit blue states hardest, a national plan was unnecessary and would not make sense politically. The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy, said the expert.
