I think I understand. I have watched GOPrs sneer at COVID, dismiss 1000s of deaths a day as unimportant, ridicule scientists and those trying to save our community. But then I remember them raging about Muslim terrorists and so many others.
COVID gives them no one to hate...1

...they rage at Black Lives Matter while laughing about COVID, they imagine a massive threat from a nonexistent Antifa, but shrug at a virus killing their neighbors and overwhelming their hospitals. Yes, they sacrificed with democrats in WW2. But they could hate the Nazis and...2
...the Japanese and the Italians. Their concern is not about attacks on our country or the well being of other Americans. It is about a need to hate, a need to feel superior, a need to attack “the other.” They have politicized COVID because it lets them hate Democrats and...3
...scientists. They can’t hate a virus, they can’t rage about their superiority to it. And so they feign superiority to the dead - how many times have they sneered that it is just old people (it isn’t). They NEED the hate. They needed to hate American communists in the 40s/50s..4
...and the Russians for decades until now. When the Soviet Union fell, the lost the foundation of their hate. And so they turned on their fellow Americans - the democrats - as the new object of their hate. Then, onto Muslims, then back to democrats. They scream patriotism but..5
...hate more than half of their fellow Americans. They scream love America but sneer at sacrificing for it. They don’t care if a lunatic is president, so long as he grants them blanket permission to hate. They won’t hate the virus, they won’t fight the virus. It’s not a person..6
...what set this off today is reading all of the GOP politicians today sneering about Covid and joking about COVID on a day when almost 3,000 people died. To me it struck as the behavior of psychopaths.....7
...but now I know. They need hate. They would rather hate democrats for trying to save other Americans than to face a virus. They make no sacrifice because there is nothing in it for them...no one to hate. It’s easy to hate those saying what we have to do to protect other.

...it has been pointed out to me, and they’re right: there was a “hate China, wuhan flu” thing. It always struck me as odd, because by their logic, the 1918 pandemic was the American virus. But the “hate China” didn’t catch on, so it went back to hating democrats and scientists.
