For Several Years I Have Thought Of Republicans As Neo-Necrophiliacs. Here's Why.

10 cartoons that capture America's response to coronavirus | Opinion

Alan: For several years I have thought of Republicans as neo-necrophiliacs.
They are not necrophiliac in the "common" sense of having intercourse with corpses, but rather by way of being oddly enamoured of visiting death upon people.
Republicans’ ferocious determination to deprive people of healthcare is a textbook illustration of this neo-necrophilia.

And Republicans' do-nothing (or do-very-little) approach to coronavirus containment is the most recent case in point.

Did Trump's Coronavirus Action, Inaction And Ineptitude Kill 91,724 People Needlessly?

The Hard, Central Truth Of Contemporary Conservatism
The hard, central "fact" of contemporary "conservatism" is its insistence on a socio-economic threshold above which people deserve government assistance, and below which people deserve to die. 

The sooner the better. 

Unless conservatives are showing n'er-do-wells The Door of Doom, they just don't "feel right." 

To allay this chthonic anxiety, they resort to Human Sacrifice,  hoping that spilled blood will placate "the angry gods," including the one they've made of themselves. http://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2013/09/harvard-study-45000-americans-die.html 

Having poked their own eyes out, they fail to see that self-generated wrath creates "the gods" who hold them thrall.
Almost "to a man," contemporary "conservatives" have apotheosized themselves and now -- sitting on God's usurped throne -- are rabid to pass Final Judgment

Self-proclaimed Christians, eager to thrust "the undeserving" through The Gates of Hell, are the very people most likely to cross its threshold. 

Remarkably, although they are prone to believe all manner of Trumpeted nonsense, none of them are tempted to believe in their own spiritual peril.
