How many dead Americans will be sufficient to satisfy republicans?

Freedom to shoot anyone for any reason, freedom to infect anyone at any time; hallmarks of republican policy.

SCOTUS has delegitimized itself as a rational law interpreting unit of government. They have become an existential threat to the welfare of average Americans. Especially those Americans seeking refuge from Republican threats to democracy.

It’s beyond clear that republicans see the coming wave of demographic shifts, and the obvious exposure of their duplicity in lawless, malevolent political policies, as a threat to their very existence.

Republicans see the uncontrolled spread of disease and guns as positive policy. Somewhere in their calculations they see the possibility of killing off people who disagree with their position as a legitimate form of governance.

They have nothing to offer Americans other than death, and poverty for those left behind by the dead. No policy that they promote has any benefit for the majority of Americans. Now with a corrupt SCOTUS in their pocket they have freedom to trample the corpse of democracy they have created.

every single person who is a member of The Democratic Party...dead.

I believe many of them are clinical psychopaths and sociopaths.

I believe that most of them are weak and afraid, and cannot function as independent and moral thinkers.

If it's one of their wealthy corporate masters, one. Otherwise, they don't give a shit. The number of dead people is irrelevant to these scumbags. All they care about is money and power. The unwashed masses dying...Pfffttttttt!! THEY. DON['T. CARE.

they probably have a cabinet full of monoclonal antibodies and teams of highly paid medical officials but continue to demand that their corporate media keep spouting out about freedumb - no mandates for wearing masks and no vaccines. GQP cocktails preferred.

Which makes their hysteria over women’s reproductive rights all the more cynical and hypocritical. Ultimately, it’s all about power and control.

... C-19* as the keystone of the party's plans to keep power and they will blame that spread of the disease
on Joe Biden too.

* Abbott, DeSantis, and 5 members of the SCOTUS* know that masks and vaccines helps to stop the spread
of C-19 and they hold the # of deaths and serious sicknesses too. You can add in Ted Cruz, Fox News, Gov.
Noem, and so many more.

They are not just refusing to stop the deaths.
They actively encourage it.

They won't change until they get bitten in the ass by what they have wrought.

The only question is whether that will be from Democrats booting them from office or them being on the wrong side of a Republican Night of the Long Knives.
