This isn’t even the qualifying incident; he helped promote this antivax shit in American Samoa and at least 79 people died there. Most of those were children.
The fact that the Senate confirmed this freak is insane. The fact that Mitch McConnell was the lone Republican against reaffirms the stereotype that Republicans only care about something when it affects them - Mitch is a polio survivor and therefore pro vaccinations…
Even Traitor Turtle is right by accident some times, what a wonderous universe.
Yes, even though it’s a stereotype, it’s about as good a diagnostic criterion as we have. Lack of empathy (i.e., care about those unlike them) seems to be the defining feature for republicans. They can sympathize (i.e., care about those like them), but only after they experience something. And not always then.
The Republican party being willfully indifferent to death and human suffering? Noooo, I mean just because they gave us the Iraq war, Sandy Hook, a supreme court decision on abortion that led to a rising maternal mortality rate, intense and unqualified support for the death penalty when we know we’ve imprisoned innocent people, endless attacks on workplace safety consumer safety and environmental protection regulations, etc etc etc…
