re: #9 jaunte
Being in Congress is a pretty good insulator.
That would be the same Republicans following along Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s assertion that old people need to die for the stock market.
This is not a bug of conservatism, it’s a feature. If a bunch of people who need maintenance medications (cough cough me) die, that is a bonus.
Death of the “underclasses” is a feature.
