That every natural disaster, pandemic, etc. that happens under a Republican President turns into a complete shit show? Not only are Republicans incompetent, but all these disasters expose that they don't care about people and that their policies do not work!

1. And it is the same with their military interventions.

[rzemanfl]

2. um

[dewsgirl]

3. Love that.

[Baitball Blogger]

5. Or that they have any sense of responsibility.

They always find a way to blame it on someone else.

[Dem2]

6. Republicans don't believe in government other than for defense

It should be obvious why they're trying to downplay the crisis.

[spicysista]

7. That's why they hate the government and believe the government doesn't work.

They are really bad at governing! Government isn't the problem, republicans and conservatism strangling the government is the real problem.

[KT2000]

8. their faith is in business

solving problems. They have a blind spot, denial, that business cannot fix everything so whatever needs to be fixed is ignored. Every day I think of Katrina and how similar this mess is.

[UTUSN]

9. Repukes basically don't believe in Government except to suppress the masses.

To keep the masses out of the way of Repuke's business of money making. They don't believe in service to the public. Hence, they don't have "policies".

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Covid-19 is Bush's Katrina spread over the entire country. . . . nt

[totodeinhere]

26. Yes, Bush and Katrina. That was a doosey too. n/t

[PatSeg]

11. That pretty much sums it up perfectly!

[SunSeeker]

12. Yup. Trump let 3,000 people die in Puerto Rico out of malevolent neglect.

Looks like he was just getting started.

[Javaman]

13. Read the shock doctrine and all the repuke

Bulls it will make sense

[Under The Radar]

14. It isn't about governing to them

To them the government is a scheme to get the citizens money into their pockets and pockets of their sponsors.

[jmbar2]

15. To be honest...

..that means that the Democratic side hasn't been tested as much yet. There is a lot of room for error whenever disaster strikes.

[SMoss]

18. Dems clean up the mess.

In all the major disasters I can think up the Dems took over and cleaned up the mess. In Jan 2009 Pres Obama took office and within days faced the impending collapse of the international banking system, the start of Great Depression II.

[SMoss]

16. Shit show.

The Republican incompetence goes back to before 1929.

[Scarsdale]

17. Many of the gop got into office

because of their families. Goetz is an overgrown frat boy, who had lots of help from his daddy getting into office. Maybe daddy thought the responsibility would make him grow up? It didn't. Ron Johnson (Wis) got into office by way of his father-in-law's money. He is nothing to brag about, either. Most of them have never known what it is like to hold down a REAL job. Failures at everything, so why not "run" the government, and make lots of cash while they are at it?

[Martin Eden]

19. "In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem."

Saint Ronald Reagan can't be wrong, right?

[rickyhall]

24. Too paraphrase St. Raygun:

"In this present crisis, Republicans are not the solution to our problem; Republicans are the problem."

Besides that, every recession since Truman was on their watch. Plus the Great Depression.

[Martin Eden]

28. Repugs suck on the economy, and on national security ...

Dim Son Bush ignored warnings about an imminent attack, then after 9-11 launched the colossal strategic blunder in Iraq.

Now Trump is doing Putin's bidding, tearing apart yhe NATO alliance which protected and promoted liberal democracy for generations.

[Joinfortmill]

20. Now that you mention it....

[58Sunliner]

21. They are here to screw the many for the few.

[Captain Zero]

22. They don't do retail and...

Don't hire the right people to do retail. Imho.

[sprinkleeninow]

23. self-serving selfish 'wicker baskets'.... eom

[Warpy]

25. That's because their focus is business and nothing else

and they won't get the fuck out of the way to let medicine/public health do their job.

[stillcool]

27. profit above all else...

what else matters?
