It was almost three years ago that my parents died of Covid. They weren't young -- they were in their 80s -- but they were in fairly robust health when they went to a church potluck, contracted the virus, and died a week later.
It didn't need to happen that way. But my christian fundamentalist parents had been radicalized over the years by Fox News, and they believed Sean Hannity, and Florida Governor Ron Desantis, and President Donald Trump when they all falsely claimed the virus was a hoax, and that the vaccine was dangerous.
The GOP is the party of death. Their entire policy agenda is fueled by paranoia and fake white grievance. From sensible gun control, to women's reproductive health, to public policies that keep us all safer, it all comes down to the same thing with them: What policies will kill the most amount of people in the shortest amount of time -- and in the meantime, what will make people the most miserable? Slashing medicaid? Gutting Social Security? Defunding all of the agencies tasked with public safety? Done, done and done.
And they aren't finished with the blood letting. Anyone who doubts their agenda need only look so far as Project 2025 to see a detailed roadmap for how they're going to keep trying to kill you.
