Some may wake up from their RW stupor.
Some are already on our side, and will be roused to activism to drive the murderers out.

2. DeSantis is knowingly helping to spread the disease and its death. The only question is why?

DeSantis has an undergrad degree from Yale and J.D. from Harvard. He most certainly knows that
masks work (Vietnam a country of 90 million has had something like 35 deaths ... I think those #s
are prior to the delta variant.) and that the vaccine saves lives. (Iceland despite having a high infection
rate hasn't had a death since last May.)

Why are the republicans such as DeSantis, Abbott, Hutchinson, and so on deliberately spreading the
disease? Is it some kind cruel political calculus to gain and or keep power?

... but I think "they" are using it for some kind power grab kind of like the Reichstag Fire. I can't
put my finger on it but I think it is real, it is evil and machiavellian, and somehow Russia is involved
in it too.

Along with breaking our healthcare system, our school systems, filing frivilous lawsuits, fake "audits," etc.

All taking up $ that could well be spent on infrastructure or social programs!

All part of putin's plan, imho, & I can't for the life of me comprehend why they are allowed to have such devastating effects on our democracy!

They know people will die, but counting on it disproportionately impacting people of color which kind of makes it okay.

DeSantis and Abbott govern big states and get a lot
of attention, and they really are true horror stories.
