Yeah. And I still have trouble with this. I mean, as I look at it, is there any other explanation for his handling of coronavirus than that he is deliberately killing us? And yet... really?!? But what else can you think at this point?....
He's deliberately done everything he's done. The reason the Russians supported him was because they knew he would try to destroy us. If he isn't the actual anti-christ he's doing a great imitation.
It seemed to me at the time, that 45's approach to the coronavirus shifted enormously when the news came out that it was primarily hitting people of color. There are allegations that Kushner's task force that had developed some sort of national testing plan and then dropped it, did so because it seemed like the virus was primarily hitting blue states. I don't know if that's even true (although it wouldn't surprise me if it was), or how the timing matches up with the info about hitting people of color.
And yet, even that dismal theory does not account for 45's monumental lack of caring about thousands of his red state supporters dying, which he could prevent by the simple means of wearing and distributing MAGA face masks. It does look like his primary mission is to destroy the country beyond repair.
Yeah, it's true about them deciding to do nothing when it was only infecting Democratic places. That's how awful they are. And for certain Trump's happy it kills POC.
I wrote a Facebook post yesterday about an essay in the Nation that argues that Trump is not an idiot, he's a liar. My response is that he is both. In my estimation, Trump covers for his idiocy with compulsive lying, and this at least partially explains his non-response to the pandemic.
"One of this writer's primary arguments is that Trump is not an idiot, he is a liar. I think both are true. He lies as easily as he breathes, but he's not very good at it. This article includes a transcript of that face-melting argument in the Axios interview as to what COVID-19 statistics mean. Trump not only lies in an attempt to prove his point - his side of the argument is nonsensical. I think Trump spends whatever intellectual energy he has on attempting to distract from his deficiencies by blurting out whatever he feels will explain away the inconvenient truth of the moment. This explains Trump's entire response to our current pandemic: incapable of leading or conceiving of a centrally concerted response, he has chosen to pawn off responsibilities to the states, claim that it will all magically go away, and obstruct expert organizations and individuals from having direct access to the public. Not only is this strategy built on a pack of lies - they are idiotic lies. How on earth did we get here?"
"I mean, as I look at it, is there any other explanation for his handling of coronavirus than that he is deliberately killing us?"-------My mind keeps telling me to write a letter to the NYT suggesting that our 'Leader" and his Party need to be labeled "Pro-Death". Is there any doubt? aFilure on covid; nonchalance with respect to the need for a new relief bill (really it is more than nonchalance---it is active evil, it seems to me.....), etc. Good night all. Peace and Courage in this troublesome times.
Occam's Razor (as modified for the Trump Era): The worst explanation for any act or event involving Trump is always the accurate explanation.

As you astutely emphasize - it's the elected republicans who enable that are acutely responsible.
We need to throw the GOP out with the Baath-water ;)

Brilliant. May steal it. I only steal from the best.
Of course!
