As for Trump voters, well, their only goal is to make the liberals cry. Certainly, ending democracy as we know it and letting hundreds of thousands of people die is a good way to make liberals cry. Sociopath logic rules the party now.
Trump can't be bothered to care about 200,000 people dead. He's way too busy bragging about how he intends to stack the court to deprive Americans of their right to vote.
McConnell is just as bad as Trump. Instead of "wasting" time on trying to pass bills that would help save the American people from the pandemic, he's been jamming through judges so he can democracy-proof Republican power.
It's telling that the first case the GOP wants this new court to hear is another attempt to overturn the ACA. How dare the American people use democracy to get themselves health care! Well, I guess democracy has got to go.
At the end of the day, McConnell and Trump only see the American people, the majority of whom reject them, as an obstacle to their power. So no wonder they don't care how many of us die.
Obviously, I immediately block all coronavirus denialists. But it's flat-out false to claim that most of those people would have died under competent and caring leadership. We have 4.5% of the world's population, but over 20% of coronavirus deaths. That's just a fact.
