To understand the coronavirus pandemic and our current societal crisis, we must understand how the Republican Party became a death cult willing to sacrifice any sustainable future for profit and power.

Our crumbling infrastructure, our unprepared healthcare system, our inability to tell truth from fiction, our inherently unstable economy.

All of it courtesy of a Republican Party who knew what kind of damage their behavior might cause but did it anyway for power and profit.
Like oil companies believing in climate change but still fighting it with disinformation, the Republican Party recognized their policies hurt America in the long term, but pushed them anyway in order to maintain power.

What the GOP has done is nothing short of a crime.
Every time anyone has even mentioned making healthcare affordable or updating the medical system, Republicans have screamed socialism, have taken to Fox News and their propaganda outlets and accused the proposer of New World Order-style conspiracies.

It's killing people.
The Republican inability to imagine a future where they are not guaranteed control and guaranteed absolute profit has left us without a viable, sustainable future.

They've mortgaged our future and embraced authoritarianism, and this crisis is making that all the more obvious.
This Republican Party isn't hard to understand.

It's a white identity, authoritarian movement with no ideology beyond amassing power and profit.

Faced with electoral oblivion, they decided to mortgage a better, healthier future for their own electoral success.
