At this point I'm going to start calling it the "Republican Virus". They are doing everything they

can to make sure it stays active, contagious and deadly. They like it so much, enjoy its consequences, it’s social devastation and for those it doesn’t kill it’s long term health problems, they can own it.

The orange anus tried to name it but he missed the mark. It’s now the Republican Virus. Just one more thing to add to the infamy of their ideology.

1. I had the same thought, they are deliberately keeping this virus active and dangerous.

It appears to go way beyond the mask and vaccine "freedom" issue. The GOP leadership values chaos, division and an internal US civil war. This is a major strategy for them since they cannot win elections any more without cheating and underhanded methods.

If they can keep the virus active and dangerous, it makes Biden and Fauci appear weak? Keeps everyone fighting each other over masks and vaccines.

Make no mistake, the GOP leadership consists of ruthless sociopaths who will stop at nothing to maintain power and wealth. And yes they do enjoy seeing other people suffer.

2. I've also heard it called "The Red Plague"

Which is also appropriate!
