One in 500 Americans have died of COVID. There is this craziness in society that sees this kind of senseless martyrdom as noble in some way. Just like the South declaring war on the North or destroying your country just so you can rule over the remains. Susan Glasser writes in The New Yorker:
The G.O.P.’s desire to see Biden fail has become a willingness to let the country fail. Nine months into Biden’s Presidency, the bottom line is that the Republican war on Biden’s legitimacy and the war on Biden’s covid policies are now inextricably linked. The consequences of this are so hard to contemplate that we often do not do so: a politics so broken that it is now killing Americans on an industrial scale.
