The USNS Comfort entering New York Harbor was a sight to behold today. We cats took a moment to appreciate this vista before resuming our coronavirus grumpiness.
Why are we crabby? Because Republicans are killing people.
Pretty soon the numbers of COVID dead will pass 9/11 levels. And then they'll equal the number of Americans killed by George W. Bush and Dick Cheney in Iraq. And then they'll creep up toward the 58,000 we lost in Vietnam. Next up: Surpassing the 89,343 Americans who died of AIDS on Ronald Reagan's watch.
That's right: Reagan killed nearly 90,000 people. Who knew? But now the Trumpsters are spinning 100,000 to 200,000 coronavirus victims as an acceptable level — a "victory" because it would be far less than the two million predicted by the UK's Imperial College.
It's unthinkable that an administration would be okay with the deaths of 200,000 Americans. But what the Trumpsters are missing is that COVID-19 is going to kill a lot of their base — not just a bunch of liberals in New York, New Jersey, Illinois, California and Connecticut.
The mayhem we're seeing in New York City will visit cities in red states soon, especially if governors in Florida, Mississippi and Alabama don't start clamping down and pastors of megachurches keep holding services for thousands of people. And then what will the MAGAts do? Still blame New York? We cats are disgusted, and we HISS.
