I am not trying to spread hatred here. Long term total disgust is my goal.
None of the Republicans stood up as Trump dismantled our ability to respond to a new disease. Not one. None of them stood up as Trump and family robbed our nation while trying to exploit the outbreak. None of the Republicans stood for what was right and reached out to the Democrats to try and get a majority and save their fellow man. Fox made a few small careful comments but they are part and parcel with what anyone looking knew was killing families, children, grandparents, working men and women.
Even in the remote parts of this nation, there are still Republicans that are helping to perpetuate this plague that causes more than a few long term disabilities. They are doing the opposite of what makes for herd immunity. They are making it likely that new versions will appear.
These folk crapped in the capitol and waved a treasonous flag and claimed they were heroes. Their leaders are making light of their actions.
Innocent families are still being destroyed by these idiots who are delighted that their governors are making sure elections will not be fair and equal.
Here is the list again. Compare it to Covid and know that the blame must now be placed on the bully who stands to close in line and breaths on others. It is the rude idiot wearing the mask under their nose and thinking they are standing for their freedom that is killing us now.

(14,732 posts)very appropriate for those Republicans who insist that we "meet them halfway", or that we have to act in a "bipartisan fashion".
He would say: "The name of their game is - You play ball with me and
I'll shove the bat up your ass".
