4 reasons Republicans can’t come up with a coronavirus plan

"Collectively, congressional Republicans have no theory for containing the virus. And they don’t really see it as their job to come up with one. It may have been the Trump administration’s job, but the White House decided to leave it to state and local governments.

That’s left congressional Republicans in a bind. To admit a new strategy is needed is to say that Trump is failing, and few are willing to risk the predictable reprisals. Moreover, congressional Republicans are uncomfortable proposing the kinds of strategies that have worked elsewhere. For instance: Pushing America back into lockdown while spending tens of billions to set up a true test-trace-isolate strategy would also require a multitrillion-dollar support package so families and businesses could survive the return to economic deep-freeze. Few Republicans want to do that."

“There’s a certain amount of motivated reasoning here,” says the top GOP staffer. “If you’re not going to have government intervention, you can’t have the lockdowns.”

Managing a pandemic is difficult in the best of circumstances, but it’s almost impossible if the party is built around mistrust of the government and opposition to social services."

Alice Cooper : Well, I'm a regular visitor here, but Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers were coming here as early as the late 1600s to trade with the Native Americans.

Pete : In fact, isn't "Milwaukee" an Indian name?

Alice Cooper : Yes, Pete, it is. Actually, it's pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "the good land."

 

And that's the thing. Trump voters won't see 99% of anything they need to, Lincoln Project, etc.
I don't know that it would make a difference if they did, but they just won't see it.

 

There was a link to a story on a conservative message board about Fox having bad ratings for John Lewis’ funeral and the comments were along the likes of “What do you expect? I wouldn’t watch that crap.”

 

Nice touch to use John Prine’s last song for the tribute to those who died from the virus
