They have a satanic logo and openly celebrate racism & death

A new study published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine has found that while the first cases of Covid appeared in states with Democratic governors (New York, New Jersey, Washington), states with Republican governors have had a whole lot more death over the full course of this pandemic.

The study confirms common sense. When GOP governors defy simple, common-sense rules like wearing masks or avoiding dense crowds, pretty much the only logical conclusion one can draw is that they're trying to "thin out the herd" in their state, killing off those expensive Social Security/Medicare users and the state's "less productive" disabled, diabetic or obese people.

It's as if the GOP has become a cult that celebrates death and destruction.
