Hartmann: Republican strategy to tank the economy

Continuing this post, Hartmann:

"Put simply, I believe these Republicans are trying to promote outbreaks of Covid in America to soften or damage Joe Biden’s red-hot economy on the assumption that if the economy tanks then people will vote out Democrats and vote in Republicans in 2022 and 2024.[...] They’re not just willing to let tens or hundreds of thousands of Americans die just to win the next two elections, they’re actively encouraging that outcome. [...] Thus, it appears that today’s entire GOP strategy of encouraging 'vaccine hesitancy' is to try to replicate that dynamic, to tank the economy, only this time in a way that works in favor of Republicans. Encouraging Americans to die so they can win elections. That’s how low today’s GOP has sunk."
