I’m not kidding. It’s not an accident. Republicans are deliberately infecting us with COVID-19. Forget any assumptions, start with the facts, and it gets pretty goddamn clear.
Look, I know that it seems like 11 years ago in Trump-time, but back on August 20th, I wrote a thing about how Republicans want sick Americans. It seemed obvious, right? They forced states to open bars and restaurants at the height of a once-in-a-century pandemic, and now, even with super-high infection rates, they’re forcing in-person schooling. It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to work that out.
But holy shit! Now we find out Trump already admitted he was deliberately infecting Americans! Bob Woodward recorded him saying that during formal, on the record interviews. Back in February, Trump swore he knew the pandemic as an airborne clusterfuck. He crowed about it like it made him special. The douchebag in chief bragged that he’d known the whole goddamn time that the virus was deadly and fast.
(And, for the record, what a empty fuckin’ moron! He couldn’t keep a secret if his Presidency depended on it.)
At least now we know that our Prezzie is an admitted mass murderer. Check off that freakin’ box.
And Trump hides inside his Coronavirus bubble, secure that nobody can get near him who didn’t pass his 15-minute super-duper COVID tests. Special privs for rich guys, you know?
Hey, here’s an idea: can you give some of the rest of us get that easy, quick testing? I don’t know, say, for hospital staff, nursing homes, prisons, detention centers, concentration camps, or, really, any of our hugely at-risk populations? Heck, if meatpackers are so fucking essential you’re willing to let them die for your morning bacon, maybe tossing them a few spare tests would be a nice gesture. None of that from the party of personal responsibility. Is the Trumpster worried we might use them all up? Horrid thought. Hate to see Little Donnie having to struggle down here with the rest of us.
Now, who out there will bet that Trump was the only Republican who had the low-down early in the pandemic? Put some cash behind your sniveling, too. Want to bet me that Mitch McConnell or the Gang of Eight never got a secure briefing sometime about it in the early months? Hell, I’ll give you three-to-one odd! Or, you know, that maybe some other Republicans in the Gristly Old Protuberance knew what every motherfucking scientist and expert was screaming as loud as they could?
The Republican Death Cult rules our nation. Those slime-suckers weren’t just sitting on their fat asses; they were actively making everything worse. They forced people together; threw shade on every truthful expert; still – still! – talk smack about wearing masks; made distancing and science into political issues and attacked everyone and everything that could slow down the spread. With around two exceptions, the entire ratfucking Republican Death Cult has been deliberately infecting Americans by the tens of thousands.
And Republicans keep trying to hurt us. It’s not something we lost in the fog of damn history. The GOP is forcing us to drive our kids to open schools! Guess what! Kids suffer a lot more than Trump’s been pretending. And now we know Orange Trumpie understood that part ahead of time, too, even as he forced us to drive our kids into Superspreader High School. It’s what Trump wanted, and he worked hard at it, knowing we would suffer and die more. Yeah, that’s his thing, too. And Republicans, who all know the truth just as strongly, backed him. How many are still holding their mouths shut?
Schadenfreude: Trump loves infecting his faithful as much as he loves high infection rates in Democratic states, large cities, and minority communities. He’s holding tightly packed rallies almost daily. There’s a study saying if we’d paid every dickhead and cow-thumper in the Sturges rally $20,000 each to just stay the fuck at home, we’d have saved money?
Oh! Another fun fact! I looked up ‘death cult’ in Wiktionary:
A religious group that requires demonstrations of faith involving the risk of death.
Wikitionary, ‘death cult,’ Sept. 11, 2020.
Like, uh dunno, attending a Trump Official Super-Spreader Rally to prove your loyalty! They’re handing out the tickets like they were smallpox-infected blankets. And we get to watch butt-hound Republicans bugger each other silly in public! Two checkboxes marked! I wish they’d stay there instead of coming back here to spread their disease, but <sigh> that’s not an option.
They have no excuses. Republicans are deliberately infecting us. Maybe someone calculated that sick and dead Americans make their patrons richer. I don’t want to know.
I want every Republican voted out of office. All of ’em: every Gerrymandering, vote-suppressing, White Nationalist, Woman-hating, science-denying, refugee torturing, Nazi Republican son of a douche waffle. I want them humiliated and unemployed, their party crushed to rubble, and their rabid ideology reduced to ash so I can salt the ground where it first grew. They’re deliberately infecting us, and now we know it’s their choice.
Oh, and all you devout Christians out there? Republicans are deliberately hurting people for their profit. And it’s not just during the pandemic. Those high incarceration rates? Besides the obvious slave labor, prisons can be reliably profitable. Pair that with the sweetheart deals to run for-profit detention centers.
Think you can still see Jesus standing in that steaming pile?
