At this point, the GOP is very literally running a cult of human sacrifice. Ol' Governor DeathSentence in FL (and Abbatoir in TX) are the most egregious examples, but the GOP in general is perfectly willing to sacrifice their constituents--to Covid, to poverty, to violence, to plain old deaths of despair--in the name of keeping the status quo and their own power.
I don't even really think this is new; really, all that's different about it is the state of politics and discourse has sunken so low thanks to 40+ years of Reaganomics and the attendant spiritual and social decay that came along with it that we've reached a point where the carefully-crafted euphemisms the party uses for plausible deniability of its true intentions have been abandoned. And what THAT means is that the GOP's base is now the formerly-reviled "fringe," the ones the party insiders and elites used to court but secretly talk shit about behind their backs. Those euphemisms, all the "states' rights" and "personal responsibility" and "protecting the unborn," were only there to keep the ones who still had some sliver of a conscience from coming face to face with what the party actually intends and stands for.
Well, no more: that shit's "mainstream" for the GOP now, and there's going to be wailing and gnashing of teeth among the Romney types that they made a mistake. What the fuck did they expect? The bitter irony is that these comparatively "sane" Republicans--by which I mean the ones not quite pozzed enough by the cyanide-laced Flavor-ade to forget that their stock portfolios mean shit if the country collapses--are going to be the first ones attacked and taken down by the fanatical majority of their party. Serves 'em right. They will find they can't buy their way out of Hell.
People, if you are not on the bus, you are under the bus. Trump let that slip a bit with his "I love the uneducated!" comment (and his constituency just proved his point for him!). Anyone voting Republican is somewhere between useful idiot and traitor at this point. This is what your masters think of you, and they feel no need even to pretend to hide it any longer. Your children, your parents, your jobs, your livelihoods, your health, all of it is nothing to them. You are cheap labor and then you're trash.
They are a literal death cult now

Don't say you weren't warned.
