What if the GOP goal is no longer to win the White House but retain the Senate? If this is the case, it's much easier for GOP controlled states to suppress voting in blue districts in the name of "public safety" by whatever nefarious means necessary.

That's a nice way of saying he's stupid. In the end, he suffers from what virtually all conservatives suffer. It is the fractured point of view that their perception of how things SHOULD work is how is DOES work. It sometimes comes off as magical thinking. I call in "faith based reasoning". Facts be damned. He thinks the virus stuff is overblown and that the problem is testing. He doesn't see that this rally, and subsequent ones, not to mention the convention in Jacksonville could be the undoing of his whole campaign, and possibly his own life.

So he's not going to.

He says and truly belives it will just go away.

He and Fucks Noise gas light the public by acting as if it is over. You can see that works for a lot of people because bars and places are packed with maskless morons.

He just pretends it isn't a thing anymore.

He is bored with it. It isn't about him and his attention span is that of a gnat. He has moved on.

He doesn't care that 120,000 have died.
He won't care if 12,000,000 people die.
Or 120,000,000 people.

It isn't about him so he doesn't give a flying fuck.

There is no logic, no strategy.

he is just ignorant
