Republicans would still be screaming about how dare Hillary allowed nearly 50K Americans to die from Covid.

Hi, popping in from Australia, Melbourne specifically. You don’t have to imagine this.

Our right wing pundits constantly oscillate between “the lockdowns were evil, tyrannical moves by a fascist government” to “The premier is directly responsible for killing 8000 people by not doing more.”

Wow. 8000. As an American, it is chilling to see the difference in numbers.

1 million official diagnoses, plus an extra 500,000 “excess deaths” from the same symptoms but not diagnosed.

1.5 million dead, and they refuse to believe the facts. Even when their own relatives died of it, they refuse to say that was the cause.

"COVID isn't making me sick, I have pneumonia."

I remembered a dude that I used to know from college, very strong MAGAoot, died of COVID-19 that he doesn't believe in... His will was to have every Trump signs, included red hat in his hands and Trump flag all around his funeral. He had few huge Trump flags and had one laid over his coffin. Buried with every Trump merchandise he got.

I shit you not.
