Why are we willing to allow people to starve on the streets while Republicans sit on their rich fat asses denying COVID relief?

Republicans like economic collapses because it allows vulture capitalists to swoop in and buy up assets at rock bottom prices and get even richer. It's by design. When people's houses are foreclosed on, giant hedge funds like Blackrock buy these houses for pennies on the dollar and make a killing.

All kinds of assholes are out there right this minute with piles of cash waiting out, hoping for no COVID relief to "help you in your dire situation, by buying your house".

Because the alternative is civil war. Which is a whole lot worse.

The severity of the deprivation Republicans are forcing will all but ensure the worst case scenario regardless.

Repubs in the welfare line, and now in the food giveaway lines, in the emergency rooms getting free medical care and those that are dying from the pandemic are voting for the very folks that in part put them in the situations they're in, yet it does not matter at all to them because they've been trained to be that way and they've been convinced by their political cadre that their misery is all the fault of the folks who actually want to give them affordable health care, a higher standard of living, a more secure social safety net and every other "socialist" program they could benefit from.

Trying to untangle that mess is supposed to be the job of the folks who belong to the "party of personal responsibility" yet it seems it's much more convenient for them to blame everybody else for their self-inflicted misery even though they refuse the very help they've been offered by those they hold responsible for their plight.

So by all means Repubs who are being victimized by their donor class leadership, carry on but be a little bit more accountable for your actions, like voting for Trump as an example.

The guy just barely keeping the creditors from the door still thinks that the tax cuts for the rich will create a trickle down boon for them... soon
