Opinion: Let Us Count the Ways Trump, GOP Have Created a Death Culture in America

When I say his domestic policies and practices are genocidal, I mean to assert quite blatantly that his governing has sought quite actively and hostilely to undermine the lives of Americans.

It isn’t just that he’s careless and callous with American lives. He carefully seeks to promote American death.

As I write, over 160,000 Americans have died as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Not only had Trump refused to address the virus, we have also learned that Jared Kushner’s coronavirus team strategically chose not to implement a coordinated national strategy to address the pandemic, believing the virus was poised to hurt traditionally blue states disproportionately hard.

In short, the consciously crafted strategy of the Trump administration was to let Americans die.

Trump’s fervent push to re-open the economy and to send children back to schools also exemplifies his promotion of American deaths, not American lives. As we have already witnessed in Indiana, sending children, teachers, and staff back to schools will certainly lead to more sickness and death. It’s a matter of when, not if.

And, of course, it’s not just Trump. It’s the entire GOP.

They have been quite clear. If there’s choice between life or a “way of life” that entails death, the GOP opts for the latter.

1. Genocide is the word for it. Good to see it being used more often.

It should be used every time trump's lack of COVID policy is discussed.
