I came across the image above in a print issue of The Week and thought that perfectly sums up the idiocy and lack of any kind of long game on the part of both the GOP and its propaganda arm, Fox News. After spreading lies about Covid vaccines, encouraging anti-vaxers with ludicrous rants about Democrat/liberal assaults on "freedom" and promoting conspiracy theorists who say Covid is a hoax, a few in the GOP seem to have belatedly awakened to the reality that they are literally killing off members of their base. Note the cartoon reference to "owning the libs." For the adults dying due to their own stupidity and fealty to Der Trumpenfuhrer, it's hard to find much sympathy. I do worry immensely, however, about the children and youths caught up in families controlled by such adults - they should not suffer (and potentially died) because of the stupidity of their parents.
