He gives no care that some people can't afford to die yet and leave young disabled family members.

if I don't I will take it from you and if you can't stop me, you are weak, a loser and deserve it.

The civilized modern world to them is still the world of neanderthals hunting cave bears.

About some deaths the rw were trying to diminish. Something along the line of "well they would have died anyway".

The Wisconsin senator drew a parallel between the tens of thousands of Americans who die by suicide and from drug overdoses each year, adding that "that level of individual despair has occurred in a strong economy."


NOTE: the parallels he chose are NOT at all like CV19, those choices are the individuals which cannot be spread to someone else as tragic as those choices are they aren't comparable.
