if that was the trade-off for lifting stay-at-home restrictions? Let's say Satan (or Trump, not much difference) came to a group of these idiots as they were demonstrating on some state capitol steps and said:
"Here's the deal. We'll get all the restrictions lifted so you can all go fishing and get your hair done and have breakfast at Denny's and dinner at Old Country Buffet and get drunk at your favorite bar. You can go wherever you want without having to keep any distance or wear a mask or do any of those other liberal weak girly things your Communist Democrat governor has been making you do. In exchange, each of you will have to shoot a randomly-selected old person in your city. That could be a total stranger or it could be your parent or grandparent or an aunt or uncle or an old neighbor. You don't get to pick who it is; it will be random. But each of you will have to go to the selected person's house or their nursing home and shoot them in the head while looking them right in the eye and telling them that you're killing them so you can have your freedom from social distancing. You'll get off scot-free; you won't be prosecuted or penalized in any way. If you can all do this thing you won't have to obey your commie governor and you can finally be free to buy a case of beer and relax on your pontoon boat. Deal?"
How many of those assholes would shoot their grandmother? Probably none of them. But apparently many of them are OK with letting Grandma die gasping for air on a ventilator. What's the difference except for cowardice and stupid politics?

Certainly not all, but enough to be a bloody mess.
