Watching leftist Twitter gloat over a Republican’s COVID death isn’t surprising anymore, but it never gets less sickening.
Their assertions: “he never wore a mask!” There are 0–zero—studies showing the mask stops you from getting sick. It may stop you from spreading to others if you are sick. It will not—I repeat will NOT—keep a person from getting COVID themselves.
“Look at this video where he said we should be cautious but open the economy! Terrible!” So...what? Good leadership is locking people in their homes & shutting down their businesses? Not caring about people who die by suicide, who suffer loneliness, depression, poverty?
“Typical Republican science denier!” How’s the “science” going in CA, NY, NJ, etc. versus...say... FL? Are you telling me it’s conservative science deniers driving the spread in these blue states?
People have died who have done everything “right.” People who haven’t changed a thing about their lives haven’t gotten it. Stop gloating. It’s not cute, and you never know when it will be your time. Let’s all be humble and kind.
I honestly and truly do not find it difficult to show sympathy towards people with whom I disagree when they’re hurting. What’s difficult is understanding the people who *can’t* do this. Leftist Twitter is a cruel, cold, stupid place.
And, lastly, I want to repeat for the 100000th time: it is possible to take precautions, to realize the virus is real and has killed people, and to care about the livelihoods, mental health and spiritual needs of our communities. The full lockdown or nothing folks are not sane.
