I really don't think I'm being hyperbolic; how many will die due to Republicans?

If they’d have removed Lardass during impeachment I think the country would be much further along on our coronavirus response. I’m sure Pence wouldn’t have been the greatest responder but I doubt he’d have been actively working to suppress efforts like the orange menace. We will never know for sure but the traitorous repukes will be directly responsible for many American deaths and much sickness that could have been reduced with quick action. Acquittal emboldened him, convinced him he could do anything he wanted. A lot of damage had already been done, like dismantling the epidemic response group and filling the administration with unqualified sycophants. But Trumps actions have been worse than mere incompetence.

Against Social Security
Against welfare
Against food stamps
Against affordable housing
Against Medicare

And you think they would give a shit about us dying from some plague? They're probably throwing fucking parties right now just thinking about it.

tendency not take stuff serious and ignore health issues. Many will not take the vaccine when it comes available.
