I never thought I would see American leaders actually wanting 300,000 Americans to die.

It is a good thing that my career military father is no longer alive to see this day.
He flew combat in three wars, risking his life, and it would kill him to see American leaders killing American men, women and children.

Talked about protecting the vulnerable. That was just more messaging no action. The vulnerable weren't the Republicans people.

No one literally sees the deaths; they're scattered over the entire country and take place in hospitals. They become abstract numbers.

The Trumpists were overwhelmed by this; they had no inkling they'd ever face a real crisis and disdained professional expertise and civil service. It shows.

left out a word, "we want them ALL infected", they are CRIMINALS, CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.

They need to be held ACCOUNTABLE.
