The Republicans have always been the problem. They are rat-fucking the country and laughing about it - McConnell laughed when asked about unemployment assistance - he has no intention of helping Americans. He is a ghoul. We are doomed as long as the Republicans have power.

The Republicans aren't the ones pushing so aggressively to shut down the economy and destroy these people's livelihoods. Unemployment is significantly higher in states with stronger lockdowns (https://www.aier.org/article/unemployment-far-worse-in-lockdown-states-data-show/ https://www.aier.org/article/unemployment-far-worse-in-lockd...), and Blue states generally have the strongest lockdowns.

  Yes if we open up the country, more people actually die. That’s not actually good for your livelihood either.

  Do you actually think Democrats want to "shut down the economy and destroy these people's livelihoods" just because they are mean and bad at governing? Really think about what you just typed. The point of lockdown is beating the virus, as other countries have done - but no, we can't do that here because of obstinate REPUBLICANs refusing to wear masks because "muh freedoms" - I haven't seen one logical or good thing come from Republican leadership during initial few months of this global pandemic. It's just more head-in-the-sand and blame-democrats, just like usual. If you're on the side of Republicans, you are on the wrong side of history, it's really as simple as that at this point.

  I mean...you understand why the lockdowns are happening, right? Other countries are seeing COVID cases dropping, while the USA just keeps going up and up because lockdowns and proper masking and distancing procedures are being resisted. By arguing against lockdowns, you're implying that an increased death toll is an acceptable cost to save the economy.
