GOP needs reality check
Are they really fighting efforts to battle this pandemic?
Did anyone out there ever believe we would see politicians rise up against a presidential decree that seeks to keep all Americans safe from a killer pandemic virus?
If you did, then you are the smartest individuals in all of human history.
I never saw it. Then again, I can be a dim bulb at times ... but that's not the point.
President Biden has issued a stern executive order aimed at private businesses and all federal employees. He insists that employees and federal workers get vaccinated. No debate on it, he said. Companies that do business with the feds must ensure their employees are vaccinated, the president said.
This is a comprehensive effort by our head of state that we no longer will tolerate a pandemic that is caused by those who are unvaccinated against the COVID-19 virus. The overwhelming majority of those who are being hospitalized in this moment are those who haven't been inoculated against the virus. President Biden said "enough is enough," or words to that effect.
Now, though, we hear from Republican governors vowing to fight like hell against any effort from the president to do the right thing, which aims to protect all Americans against potential death.
Why are these governors resisting? Oh, I almost forgot. They adhere to the weird whims of the 45th POTUS, the moron who sold us all out by downplaying the severity of the pandemic when it first started killing Americans in late 2019.
Man, oh man. We live in the strangest political climate I ever have seen. It's weirder than the late 1960s and the Vietnam War protests; or the mid-1970s and the Watergate scandal.
Not only has the former POTUS fomented the Big (damn) Lie about phony vote fraud in the 2020 presidential election. He has persuaded GOP governors that it's all right to issue orders that result in the sickening and the death of Americans.
Now these nitwits are challenging President Biden's effort to rid us of this pandemic.
Astonishing.
