Would you rather make the people on the far right, who already hate your guts mad and endure some politically motivated lawsuits or have your state get overrun with a virus that medical experts were predicting was about to tear through the population and overwhelm the healthcare system? It was a no-brainer for him, and he did the right thing. Now the vultures and sideline-sitters will come in and make him pay with political capital, because they are nihilistic douchebags. This was never not going to happen.
It’s sad that it’s supposedly only the far right isn’t it? Although I don’t think it is. Where the hell did the people of the sixties go? Where is the ACLU? And let’s not forget DeWine is a Republican.
