Which is, of course, exactly what Turnip thinks he can force on the entire world, and it will fall into line. Facts just don't work that way. Unfortunately, it's going to bite us in the ass, chew us up and swallow us, before Turnip ever faces the slightest consequence. Maybe after a few Congresscritters get "culled" by the next pandemic they'll suddenly discover why his horrible policies are such excrutiatingly bad ideas.

None of the historical precedents will matter in the slightest, because MAGAts are studiously ignorant of history. They believe if they don't read about the consequences of bad policies, they won't happen.
