A year ago we didn’t have 325,000+ dead, thousands hospitalized or millions infected with residuals of Covid.
We’ve learned that GOPigs had no plan. No plan for testin, no plan for tracking/tracing, no plan to distribute vax.
Worse, at EVERY turn GOPigs did whatever they could

GOPigs profited off this horror, death and destruction. And, they have done nothing to help the millions who if they manage to survive Covid are hit by the collateral damage.

They refuse to extend survival benefits like unemployment, moratoriums
on evictions, direct payments, ...

I’m disgusted, heartbroken, fangry, ....
Also, I’m hopeful that finally folks will take a minute and look around at realize it’s the same folks inflicting their hellscape over and over.
