Georgia is reopening this week.
And on Rachel Maddow, we see that COVID19 cases are increasing rapidly all over the state.
Who will Brian Kemp, the GOP Governor, blame?
Amazing how Kemp, who claimed he did not know about the existence of asymptomatic carriers of COVID19, feels confident in reopening his state even as cases are rapidly increasing.
Almost like mass insanity is infecting the entire GOP leadership.

But now that everyone is a walking biohazard, they seem to be intent on killing us before this is over. Trump is a modern day Jim Jones and he wants his followers to drink the Kool Aid. 
These are the data that the Governor is hanging his hat on.
if only that didn't require letting them impose them on us too.
Our history is of one long struggle to save us all from them, and never a word of thanks. 
because it suited me, and because it's been our fate to live in conservative areas ever since (not intentionally). But it means the conservatives you're thinking of are people to me. Ones with their faults used and magnified by evil-doing leaders who've managed to make them close to the worst versions of themselves.
But we all have our facets, and I know many can be every bit as kind and caring as any of us, even more so, just to smaller, more defined groups. But to those some will give and give and give.
I wish I could remember a clinical term I read for the kind of social disorder they're caught up in, but we can see it's dreadfully real. It's just not immutable. They could change, as they changed to what they are now. Most are especially vulnerable to what their leadership and their group wants of them, and a good number would be much better people with better leaders. Amazingly fast too. Not that they're allowed to elect them these days.
Yesterday's fairly honorable and moderate conservatives left or were purged and stopped running for national office because they won't go along with the extremist ideology, betrayal and corruption of today's Republican Party. They still exist, though. And since at least half all nations will always be conservative by nature, we need their moderates back representing at least half of them so we can all keep the other half controlled.
Conservatives do see moral issues differently, more in relation to how the group is affected rather than the individual. But psychologists say we overlap a whole, whole lot more than we differ.
You know who's different? Genuine libertarians by nature (as opposed to economic conservatives posturing as libertarians). Both real conservatives and real liberals share altruism toward others. True libertarians, though coming in a range of strengths, tend to lack it and despise it as a weakness in others.
Paul Ryan's ideology reflected in his economic plans, the ones too extreme even for his house Republicans, would have had an unstated end result of a genocidal cleansing of society by ultimately allowing those who couldn't pay for their own medical care to die, leaving a healthier, happier, free-er and more moral society to inherit. Or something like that.
Coincidentally ( 
), the libertarianism- and greed-inspired Republican leadership blocked all action to stop this coronavirus at its entry points, and now we're undergoing something of a genocidal "cleansing." And they're still trying to block action to mitigate. But don't try to tell that to their loyal supporters. They won't believe it; and even as they parrot 50K deaths as like the annual flu deaths that are supposedly inevitable, they'd be outraged and contemptuous of any suggestion that they supported an opportunistic plot to kill off themselves and/or any sick and elderly relatives who collect benefits. But which like wildfire is consuming many others.
