Summary
Savage capitalism is the conservative world view. Even now that Trump himself has Covid, he still thinks 1,000+ Americans a day dying from the disease is a case of 'too bad, so sad'. Have we reached the full expression of extreme right-wing libertarianism? This is part and parcel with Republican opposition to regulating poisonous pollution, dangerous cars, gambling banks, and every other danger to anybody who's not rich; "Suck it up, you're on your own!"
Plus - could Trump be criminally liable for knowingly spreading a deadly disease in New Jersey? Did Congressman Gomert kill at least one of his supporters at a maskless event last month? Do they even care?
