What Goes Around Comes Around
Life’s experience and/or observation has shown many of us when a person or group is motivated by hate, greed, some other deeply human flaw, singularly or combined, their negative action(s) quite often come back to bite them in their a$$(es). You know, what goes around comes around.
The impeached president trump’s devoted fanatics worship their severely dysfunctional leader as a god who will make America great again, meaning the U.S. will become a white Christian conservative promised land.
Many, if not all of his devoted fanatics believe this new reality to be created by their orange-haired god will be free of people of color, foreigners, strong-willed women, and anyone else who does not share the exact same beliefs and hatreds as the impeached president trump and his army of devoted fanatics.
The latest “hoax” allegedly created by the enemies of the impeached president trump, to limit him to a single term, is the Covid-19 pandemic. And the entire world is in on THIS dastardly plot.
Despite all the bullsh!t vomited constantly by the impeached president trump, FOX Noise, certain Christian clergy, and the congressional Republicans, this “hoax” has the potential to wreck (actually kill) much of the GOP’s voter base.
To further propagate the “coronavirus hoax” myth, House member and impeached president trump’s leading protector, Devin Nunes, recently suggested people go out to restaurants and pubs as often as possible. This is the precise opposite of the advice given by medical experts, and just one example of Republican efforts to confuse, obfuscate, and obstruct a real response, which are proving to be disarmingly effective.
But, the impeached president trump’s devoted fanatics are in for a rude awakening, whether they accept this fact or not. Conservatism is so often its own worst enemy, of which right-wingers’ off-hand dismissal of Covid-19 is a shining example.
A panel of doctors and scientists at the University of California, San Francisco is tracking progress of the disease. The panel reported the U.S. is running approximately a week behind Italy, and is past the point of containment. Members of the panel could see no indications that its progression would be substantially different in the U.S. (Yes, we have all heard right-wingers boasts of their greater knowledge than experts in any subject. But most of you have shown you would fail a fifth grade science test, so your swagger is quite unjustified.)
The Affordable Care Act offers coverage for individuals whose income is at or below 138 percent of the federal poverty line. Not surprisingly, conservative politicians in red states, in their zeal to stick it to Obamacare, declined Medicaid expansion, which forced record numbers of hospital closures in their states’ older, rural counties. There have been 106 rural hospitals shut down since 2010, 77 were located in states that refused to expanded Medicaid.
In these rural areas heavily impacted by hospital closures, a large portion of the impeached president trump’s devoted fanatics are over 65yo and/or suffer from weakened immune systems. Being a group most at risk to severe reaction to the disease, these folks could find their politicians' advise for Americans to “go out and party” to be deadly. As Covid-19 marches across the nation, many of these older and/or sickly conservatives could very well experience how the availability of hospital beds is a most important part in saving the lives of elderly victims and those with compromised immune systems who contract the disease. The coronavirus is treatable, but only if severely affected patients can be hooked up to respirators.
The impeached president trump’s devoted fanatics will also learn how their own hatred for Obama helped diminish the number of hospital beds in their red states. The right-wingers’ willful ignorance and denial of facts is going to make them a significant component in the critical mass of patients infected with coronavirus, and in the final statistics.
Nationwide, the overwhelming surge of coronavirus patients that is predicted will easily outstrip the supply of hospital beds. Covid-19 victims forced to remain untreated inevitably die while gasping for air, which is why the Italian death toll has climbed so high.
Hospitals and doctors here in the United States face an even bigger challenge than those in Italy. While the impeached president trump’s devoted fanatics like to boast of America’s superiority to everything in the world (when the GOP is in control), they will also deny the fact that Italy has MORE hospital beds per thousand citizens than the [email protected]/thousand, and [email protected]/thousand. (So conservatives, you should put down your big “We’re #1“ foam finger, trumpcare has made healthcare worse, not better, regardless of your misguided and misinformed beliefs.)
As the deluge of Covid-19 patients seeking medical treatment grows, like doctors in Italy, U.S. physicians will spend endless hours performing battlefield-style triage. There they must quickly decide, is this patient too old? Too (otherwise) sick? Do they have small children at home? After that, patients who survive initial triage and finally reach a hospital bed to receive treatment, may be unplugged if someone with a greater survival chance shows up. Few U.S. doctors have experienced such enormous pressure, physical or emotional. It is beyond nightmarish.
For the impeached president trump’s devoted fanatics, they will never be convinced coronavirus wasn’t a political ploy by the Democrats, even if they finally admit it’s not a “hoax” as claimed by their orange-haired god. They will also never be convinced “trumpcare” isn’t fantastic, but will remain confident that all failures are the fault of doctors. There is truly no end to their idiocy and loonie conspiracy theories.
Understanding the right-wingers’ rigidly misinformed mindset, makes it apparent it is a complete waste of anyone’s time to attempt to explain any fact to those individuals who have been hopelessly brainwashed after years, even decades staring at the FOX Noise channel.
