Death overtakes us all at some point. However, we’re now being told to numb ourselves to mass casualties and the increased possibility of our own COVID-19 infections in order help a president win re-election. Or to help some stocks rally, or even save a business from folding. That is what is happening here.
The Republican rush to “reopen” is projecting a simulacrum of the American “normal” that existed before the pandemic. The genuine article needed improvement, seeing as it the pandemic has revealed the fragility of our systems in health care, education, tech, criminal justice, and throughout our federal government supply infrastructure, just to name a few.
Many cultish movements have deadly culminations, so it only seems natural that some of these Trump’s most avid fans might be willing not merely to use the fiction of what they understand as freedom, risking their health for Dear Leader. But whether or not that is true, Republicans offer this fraudulent version of liberty because their true goal, plutocracy, is the diametrical opposite of freedom. It is a life lived to spite other lives, and often take advantage of them.
The right has built a thin veneer that looks like independence and freedom, but the pandemic has stripped away that myth in a matter of weeks. We can love our country enough to want to build it stronger than it was before, not paint some shoddy lacquer over top of it and call it brand new again.
, and eventually, one day, a vaccine or treatment that everyone in the world can access. That won’t happen with this president. He simply won’t do it. It isn’t in his interest to make it happen. He doesn’t have adequate training in the job to accomplish it, nor does his party have any interest in helping him do it. He’d rather have us leave the house before it’s safe to go to restaurants, malls, and nail salons, just so he can lie about America being all the way back.
Death, Liberty and the Pursuit of Selfishness.
You guys are still in business? Could’ve fooled me
Spot on.
Give me convenience or give me death
35 likes says volumes. Stick to the one thing that unites us. Music 🤍 please
Just figuring that out now?
Yes, by all means we should destroy millions of lives for a virus panic caused by the media and politicians, for their own gain, when there is a 99% recovery rate. You're Right RS, we should stay closed forever.
Flip the senate
The article is nothing but a political hit piece. State Governors, both Republican AND Democrat are reopening segments of their economies. Here’s a much better article:
yup only republican ran states... also u do realize they ate not teopening 100% right rollingstonessucks misinformation
How do you really feel?
Americans in need get basically nothing from the U.S. government - can't fault them for wanting to rush back to work. If they don't earn they will starve for sure, if they go back to work there's a chance they might die from the virus but they likely will not.
Yeah getting a manicure in a sterilized environment is much riskier than riding a subway or going to Target. Btw where do you shop for chapstick when your lips are peeling after sucking so much Democrat dick?
What a stupid article
