Kudos are in order for Trump, DeSantis and Abbot.

Despite the fact that the United States spends more on medical care, has the best doctors and extremely effective vaccines available in every community at no cost, these three have managed to earn the nation the new distinction of having the highest rate of covid cases in the entire world.

Texas and Florida now account for 40% of all new cases in the country.

So, congratulations, guys! Together you have killed more Americans than anyone thought possible and that type of ruthlessness just thrills your cult's base!

They just want president Biden to fail, to look bad.

These people told us their game plan right after Barack Obama was elected president. They met and made a pact to obstruct everything that Democrats do. They made a pact back then to put party over country. If people dying in red states can be used as a political talking point against president Biden then so be it. They are pure evil.

These people are being funded by dark money. The big donors to ALEC, Heritage Foundation, Federalist Society, and all of the other right wing foundations need to be exposed. They may not give a damn but people need to know the names of the people who are funding the killing of our democracy. The GQP doesn't even write its own bills, the people in these right wing organizations are the ones who write these undemocratic election/voting bills. These billionaires need to be hounded by the MSM, yeah right, forget that thought, they control them too.

Most repug voters don't understand this and why, and if they did it's because they believe trickle down works.

that this is the way to get back at Liberals and especially President Biden.

republicans killing their own and republicans are blaming the president and the liberals. I know their base is wacked, but hey, these people believe anything as long as it owns the Libs.

…and say MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

It’s a bonanza for expensive medical treatments and drugs.

Instead of few cases and cheap vaccinations for everyone, The unvaccinated fill up hospitals demanding state-of-the-art medical care at exorbitant prices.

Overcrowded hospitals selling high-priced medical care is a win for Republican politicians.

Been that way for many years, but out in the open now for all to see.

To me, bottom line - if one is a Republican then one is an accessory to murder. No excuses.

Get vaccinated, wear masks, practice social distancing, avoid large crowds - especially indoors.

Also they can vote the idiot Repuke Governors out of office. But that might be asking too much.

They prove they are better than the educated liberal elite by acting like a 5 year old child throwing a tantrum over washing hands before dinner.

Free-Dumb indeed.

Anything dangerous and contrarian to prove they are in charge.

The pandemic was raging when TFG finally left the White House; rapidly got better under Biden's robust vaccine rollout initiatives; and began to stall when Trumpism reasserted itself in the persons of Abbott, DeSantis, and Noem, and when the antivaxxers and maskholes decided to double down on their nihilism.

and how many had to die preventable deaths gasping for breath or live with permanent organ damage.

Meanwhile, it's back to school season. Masks optional apparently.

I don’t know how it is now, but I remember, in the 90s wondering how Barbara Bush liked it to have two sons governing on top executions in the country.

If they’re too stupid or too interested in trying to make Biden look like a failure by refusing to be vaccinated or wear a mask and they die from Covid, too bad. That’s on them. Unfortunately, we all have to deal with the effects of a rampaging pandemic that could have been under control by now, and for that I will never forgive them.
