#Georgia @GovKemp interview on @TheMeansReport illuminated Republican talking points for future elections: If it weren't for irresponsible residents, the #COVID19GA #pandemic wouldn't have been so bad. wjbf.com/top-stories/we… I can see ads showing non-white people allegedly doing
something which may have spread the disease. Direct the voters' anger at the tens of thousands of dead & 100s of thousands who suffered at "bad" people instead of the do-nothing, self-serving policies of the politicians who had the means to take effective action but instead were
either too busy making political calculations, protecting their stock portfolios long enough to sell off theirs & lining up sweetheart deals for needed medical supplies & procedures or too ideologically committed to private property or a twisted version of American
Exceptionalism, White Supremacy and/or Prosperity Gospel Christianity & thought that viruses only attacked inferior peoples to listen to #publichealth authorities. The full interview should be up in a few days. Don't let a "moderate" disaster borne by the poor & prisoners turn
into another @GOP talking point about "personal responsibility." For decades, Republicans have been telling people that the only morality is "Get yours & don't worry about others, as any poor outcomes they suffer are their own fault." Now, when we need to cooperate to limit the
suffering, they will complain that people aren't cooperating. We need more of the ethos of @herbiehancock "Space Captain."
