There might not be a better example of how broken we are as a country than this tweet from this slapdick right here. None of this is true, of course, and Jordan knows it, but he'll say it anyway because he'll get rewarded for it. 1/

Nobody wants to quarantine. Nobody wants to give up Thanksgiving or Christmas or July 4th next year, but because Republicans have decided doctors and nurses don’t matter, because they’ve decided your life doesn’t matter, we may have to do so to save our own lives. 2/

That’s what’s amazing because Jordan pretends (in complete bad faith, btw) that the ‘government’ is taking things away from you. Um, hello? REPUBLICANS ARE IN CHARGE OF THE GOVERNMENT — AND THEY ARE ACTIVELY LETTING AMERICANS DIE. 3/

Republicans could do another round of PPP loans for businesses. Republicans could send more money to those out of work. Republicans could ask everyone to do the bare minimum to help the country avoid mass death and economic catastrophe—but they won’t. And Jordan knows it. 4/

Not only does Jordan know it, he embraces it. He knows if he can keep straight face and blame socialists or brown people, he’ll get re-elected and he can happily keep ignoring the sexual abuse of college wrestlers at Ohio St. etc. while doing nothing to help the country. 5/

In more normal times, this would suck. Because it doesn’t help anyone but him. But right now, over a thousand Americans are dying every day. And more are going to die because fuck-knuckles like Jim Jordan need more airtime on Hannity. 6/

But instead of shaming people like Jim Jordan or that idiot Lt. Gov. of Texas or any number of 100+ different GOPers, we are told we should reach out to them, understand them, feel for them—when they’re literally trying not to laugh and letting Americans die. 7/

Anyway, Jim Jordan isn't the problem. He's just a symptom, a hemorrhoid come to life who we refuse to shame into retirement. Such is the way of life under GOP control, I suppose. Anyway ... /end
