Why @GOP is killing us. It is more than COVID denialism. Its their inability to get how everything connects. Sure, providing desperately relief in the COVID outbreak is needed as humanitarian act. But it's more than that. People need to stay home & businesses need to survive.../1
...if people can't afford to stay home, they wont. If small businesses can't survive without income, they will open if they can. If people who are unemployed dont have enough to survive, they will be seeking work. Dumbass @LindseyGrahamSC slammed unemployment boost in this....
...saying "Well, people just won't seek out work." In adapted words of John McLain, "No fucking shit, @LindseyGrahamSC!" Thats the whole idea. If we shut down, and gave people and small businesses what they need to survive - not big corporations, not billionaires - we could.../3
....dramatically slow the spread. But GOPrs in their endless "fuck humanity" mindset see this only as an act of kindness - i.e., not something that is necessary in the GOP world. Then, goddamn it, they scream "deficit." Deficit spending is like a fire extinguisher needed.../4
...when the house is on fire. I have said since the 1980s, the Republicans treat the fire extinguisher like a toy, and then will whine that we don't have anything to put out the fire when one breaks out. We have a fire. The worst in modern history. We didn't need to blow up.../5
...the deficit at the same time the economy was strong, but greedy, fucking stupid, sociopathic Republicans just wanted wanted wanted. And now, we have to run to the store and buy s shit ton of new fire extinguishers, and the ones who sprayed them for fun are in the way..../6
...the idea we have a more infectious virus - and it *is* here now, we just dont know where -and are doing nothing to slow it, at the same time that the GOP is whining "oh, the deficit, here's $600 to help you survive the next 7 months" is fucking insane. Everyone other than.../1
...the rich who are bribing their way to the front of the vaccine lines have to go make money. Have to find a job. Have to SPREAD THE FUCKING VIRUS!! If we had a real government, and not a bunch of fucking morons who just say things as fact with no evidence, who know.../7
...nothing about mitigation but keep saying "the science says we need more tax cuts, the science says we need deregulation, the science says everything needs to be open, the science says its just the flu" and every other stupid shit thing they have said to harm this country.../8
...the concerning winter became the dark winter because of the GOP. Now, with nothing but $600 for the survival of real families, the dark winter is going to become the blackout winter, the genocidal winter, the "didn't have to be this way" winter because people will.../9
...have to leave their homes NO MATTER HOW FUCKING BAD these comfortable, vaccinated bastards make it. They are SO fucking afraid of raising taxes that they dont want to spend money when we need it, to save not only families, but to save lives. I hope Georgia dems & GOP..../10
...understand everything on the line. Your vote is for mass slaughter or not, democracy or not, idiocy or not. No one is going to save us so long as the GOP is there. History will look back on these anti-democracy bastards as the thing that brought down America.

Addendum: Yah, I'm pissed. Not just at the GOP politicians, but at the people who are killing themselves because of the lies Fox News spreads in order to convince people that only the party further enriching the rich represent them.
