The Republican Party has aided and abetted a mass murderer

Donald Trump's name is now among some of the most infamous mass murderers in history.
Covid-19 has killed over a quarter of a million people in America. And a large majority of those deaths, that could have been avoided, are due to the ignorance, cruelty, and pure malevolence of Donald Trump.

Trump told us, on Bob Woodward's tapes, that he knew about this pandemic last February. Yet he did nothing, zero, nada, zip. Absolutely nothing at all. And anyone who doesn't think he's drenched in the blood and deaths of hundreds of thousands is blind to reality.

But it's not just Trump. It's an entire criminal organization that calls itself The Republican Party, that allowed this to happen by keeping silent. And they're still doing so to this very day.

The mass murderer is doing as much damage as possible on his way out, but he'll soon be gone. The Republican Party will still be here, however, and will continue to aid and abet Dear Leader and his followers.

Over 70 million people voted to continue this insanity. It seems that in addition to Covid-19, we have another virus infecting our country that consists of ignorance, and/or racism, and/or brutality, and/or white supremacy. In short, we have an entire species of people who refuse to accept the existence of anyone who looks different than them, or has with beliefs other than theirs.

A vaccine for Covid is on the way. There is no vaccine for the human insanity that has been turned loose in America. But it can be made less virulent by dismantling today's Republican Party. They are vicious thugs, using hatred, divisiveness, voter suppression and the threat of violence to hold onto what power they still have. Not to mention aiding and abetting in hundreds of thousands of Covid deaths and not giving a shit about any of it.

Sanity will not return to America until this Republican Party is thrown onto the ash heap of history.

I’m guessing breath a sigh of relief once tRump’s gone. Disturbingly unsatisfying.

However, do you really want the vaccine until you're told it's safe by the Biden presidency and the scientists.

For all we know, Trump could be pushing the FDA to speed through something that isn't really ready for broad distribution. Don't trust anything the current regime does or says. They don't care if you live or die. Trump, his cronies (and the drug companies) are out for whatever is in it for themselves.

Wait until Joe Biden is in the Oval Office before you rush to take a vaccine.

I'm having trouble drawing a distinction between Stalin's orchestrated mass-famines and what Trump and his minions are doing by not lifting a finger to stop this virus.

It is, as you said, mass murder.

Minorities and the poor are getting hit hard by this virus. Dear Leader and his minions think they are making the world a better place by discarding "lesser" beings.

Trump and his minions are people who think that Stalin, Mao and Hitler had it right. And if they knew anything about history, they'd probably also worship Nero, Caligula, those who ran The Inquisition, and so many others.
