1 million Americans are dead because of disastrous Republican-lead mishandling of covid. Some have even labeled it as a literal genocide against our countrymen.
It's not a new thing for the Republic side. Reagan refused to do anything about the HIV/AIDS epidemic, or even speak about it publicly, since he believed it was God's punishment against the gay community. Before it started spreading and killing his white Christian community too, the administration was fine letting it kill off the people he hated.
Wow, that is pretty damning. The only reason it might technically not be genocide is that he targeted a political group, (which just happens to have the most minority members,) as a proxy for specifically targeting minorities themselves.
Ironically, their denial of pandemic reality seems to have ultimately led to more Republican deaths than Democratic:
So Republicans don't love America? Yeah, that tracks.
There's probably some of that, in some cases there may even be overwhelming evidence of it.
Overall they're just a bunch of greedy self-centred fools who will drive a steam roller down a street filled with babies and kittens if it means their stocks will go up by 0.01$.
