The obscenity of Republicans playing this game as mobile morgues and emergency field hospitals are being deployed really can’t be stressed enough.

Of course, by Trump pulling this nonsense it both distracts from all that and keeps it in their interest to pretend he didn’t make it worse by holding rallies when he should have been leading.

I still can’t get past the feeling of helplessness watching those packed rallies, knowing the part they’d play in a case explosion, both micro for the attendees and macro for the message those images sent to the faithful.

It’s like everyone watching someone cut all the brake lines in a parking lot and nobody stops him or the people that get into the cars to drive home.
