I can't tell if these conservative officials are actually this willfully fucking stupid, or if they just know their base is and appealing to that bottom rung of society is all they have left.
Yes.
If this virus could talk, it would be thanking the Republican party profusely. The Republican Party was the best thing that every happened for SARS-CoV-2.
Things are about to get reeeeeally ugly with school in session and outdoor seating at restaurants going away for the season.
Iowan here. It is both. On the brightside, a lot of school districts have been fighting tooth and nail against her edict that kids must attend school in person for at least a portion of the time.
None of that stuff is gonna happen. The government has given up, people don't believe it's real or that bad. This is the new normal now.
Herman Cain was an MD and managed to kill himself by denying medicine towing the party line in the midst of a global pandemic. I don't know if that answers your question, but if that's the end result, I don't know that it matters.

Things are already ugly as hell. I live in Iowa City and the disease is still exploding here even after Reynolds (Thankfully) shut the bars down in these counties. I can't believe restaurants are still allowed to seat patrons. Me and the people at my lab have an ongoing bet on when the University of Iowa will be forced to close down again; I bet in October, which seems pretty optimistic at this point in time.
I'm starting to think it's less about killing their constituents to own the libs and more about killing their constituents to hopefully kill a few libs they come into contact with.
Lol yeah, you mean Herman Cain I think. Ben Carson is only dead from the neck up
It's not just Iowa either. It's in literally every state conservatives control lock stock and barrel. Tennessee has TONS of complete morons, some of who are elected officials.... but people like Bill Lee and Marsha Blackburn know exactly what they're doing, and it's sickening. Motherfucking fascists, the lot of them.
I wonder if Ben Carson is dead inside though. It's too on the nose for this administration to appoint the token black guy to head HUD for even him not to realize it.
So now it's a young person's disease? These people need to make up their minds.
The genie that gave him the ability to work on brains took his own brains as payment.
Reynolds is a monster. Iowa is amount the worst in the world in cases per 100,000. She refused to take appropriate action, and has blood on her hands. I will never understand how people can vote for these people.
Republicans like Reynolds are not stupid, they're evil, full stop. They care about money, fame and power, and nothing for the loss of life.

Not really. Kim is trying as hard as possible to not call it a mandate.
their base basically voted for this. The virus was on the ballot and they didn't care
