The fact that Cuomo, who literally has the single worst death rate in the US, is held up as an example of success while DeSantis, who has a death rate around 1/20th that of New York's, is held up as a failure is an indication that the American media has totally abandoned any connection to reality. Apparently electoral benefit from a disaster isn't derived from actually producing good outcomes but by passing Strict Laws, even if those Strict Laws do nothing but make regular people's lives harder.
Talk about a take that aged poorly. Good god this is embarrassing.
