It is just a different kind of death cult
Remember when ISIS was rampaging around the middle east and while the right wing were blaming their actions on the fact, they were Muslims, the rest of us knew that they were a bloody horrific murder death cult? Well, turn it on its head a bit and this same shit is happening right now in America. ISIS felt that they owned their population, to do with what they will, it is very clear that the republican party with Trump at the helm believes the exact same thing.
We are witness to Trump being at his very worst when even his very best would be wholly inadequate. The republican party is enabling this ineptitude because at heart they demonstrably believe that the deaths of the ordinary do not matter if it tampers with their power and profit. This has never been as clearly on display as through this crisis. They believe that they have agency over everyone, that they get to decide how much risk is acceptable when people are literally drowning in their lungs. They get to decide not to send ventilators where they are needed. They get to decide that essential public health services should be sacrificed to tax cuts for the rich. They get to charge people for tests / healthcare. They get to offer an incredibly shoddy federal response, which is much cheaper than a co-ordinated response. I could go on, but you get the drift. If anyone wants to tell me that does not make them a death cult, well I have a bridge I can sell them. Death cult indeed.
