I’m getting awfully damn bored of talking about it, but this map from Global Epidemics is a compelling illustration of those governors, celebrated just weeks ago in the right wing media, who have turned out to be terribly incompetent:
DeSantis of Florida, Ivey of Alabama, Kemp of Georgia. Abbott of Texas is looking worse. These are all Republicans. Louisiana’s governor is Democrat John Bel Edwards, and they’re not doing well at all, either. I have not heard what’s gone wrong for them. He’s a disappointment, as he’s a professional politician, which may sound like Hell to some folks, but bespeaks experience and even training (he’s a lawyer).
And, yes, parts of California also look bad. Governor Newsom (D) got off to a great start, but either he reopened too aggressively, or the people aren’t paying attention.
Here’s the link. It updates with new data, so your experience may vary from the above.
