What Do These Seven States Have In Common?


As noted on Rachel Maddow's program last night:
"The National Governor’s Association is tracking the state-by-state [coronavirus] response and where there are mandated bans of any specific size. There are no statewide bans in Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Missouri, Mississippi, Idaho and Wyoming."
So what do these seven states have in common? They have Republican governors and Republican-controlled state legislatures, of course. Because in their minds, perhaps up until a few days ago, the coronavirus was a hoax perpetrated by Dems and the media, and it would disappear quickly, according to their Dear Leader.

One dimwit Republican stands out: Oklahoma Gov. and Trump cultist Kevin "Stitt For Brains" Stitt, who defiantly and very foolishly exposed his family by going out to a crowded Oklahoma City restaurant this past weekend.  Of course, now that the White (Supremacist) House tone has shifted, Stitt will probably demand a COVID-19 test in the wake of his mindless exposure. It's why we can't have good things in this country.
