    I find it amazing how short people’s memories are.

    Did everyone in the US forget COVID-19, and all of Trump’s antics during it?

        This is what infuriated me.

        COVID spread is exponential growth, and his early misinformation, failure of leadership, refusal to believe in the danger, and continued botched response was responsible for likely hundreds of thousands of American deaths. Certainly his followers refused to mask and were aggressively in denial even when in hospitals on ventilators. We’re at over 1.2 million deaths, and in my opinion even that attribution is conservative.

        When even a single American is killed via incompetence by our government, it’s congressional hearings and crucifixion. When we have an external force do it, like a certain event in 2001, no price is too high for retribution and deterrence. This man is responsible for 100x those American deaths? Let’s make him the most powerful human on the planet.

        In spite of Donald Trumps own statements during the pandemic…

        And that, you know, he got hospitalized with covid.

        That practically broke the internet, and its like everyone forgot.
