If Donald Trump cared one tiny bit about the health and safety of his many fanatical followers, he would call a national press conference and urge them to immediately get a Covid vaccine and begin following CDC guidelines. 

Not gonna happen. To do so, would be an unspoken admission of his catastrophically failed Covid eradication effort, and we all know his record of accepting responsibilities for his failures. He either blames those damn communist Democrats or throws one of his staff under the bus. 

Instead, he sits in his Mar-A-Lago bunker and rants about the election that was stolen from him while his followers are getting sick and dying at a much higher rate than Democrats and independents. 

As a 45-year-plus Republican, it both saddens and sickens me that this lunatic still controls my party. I urge all like-minded Republicans to let their elected representatives know that they will not be getting your vote until they cut all ties with “The Donald.”
