Summary

The Republican Party has become a death cult. They revel in their efforts to cut million Americans off from health care. They celebrate the resumption of federal executions. They enthusiastically work to allow poisons into our air and water that will cause many to die of cancer and suffer neurological damage. As black people across America continue to be regularly murdered by police, Trump calls those who work to make change 'thugs' and 'terrorists' and deployed federal troops to the states to attack protesters. Numerous children are dying in Trump's detention centers at the border. But what is his crowning achievement? The carona virus. By discouraging people from wearing masks, by raising doubts about science and scientists, by mismanaging the crisis, Trump has allowed 130,000 Americans to die from a disease that other nations have already been able to defeat.


Will we be able to make a change in November so that unnecessary death does not have to become a normal part of American life?
