There
are fifty-two days until election day, keep it cool and we will get through
this together.
What
do you say to people who try to tell you that Donald Trump is doing a good job,
that they think he has good policies, and they believe we are better off now
than we were four years ago?
Ask
them to get specific; don’t let them off the hook.
Ask
them about the response to the pandemic, ask them about his continuous and
persistent misinformation campaign. Ask them how they feel about the fact that
the United States of America has 4.25% of the global population but 25% of
deaths due to coronavirus.
If
Donald Trump would have taken real and decisive action, if he would have
trusted the experts in his own administration instead of “playing it down”
because he “likes to play it down,” and is still playing it down 1,000 people a
day would not be dying from this virus.
Yesterday
in Canada no one dies from the coronavirus.
Think
about it. Ask that erstwhile Trump supporter to think about it.
Donald
Trump, who is the fear-monger-in-chief said he “played it down,” because he
didn’t want to create a panic. He withheld information from the American people
that could have saved lives because he didn’t want to create a panic.
Who
did he think would panic?
Not
me, not almost everyone I know. We knew he was full of sh*t all along. We did
what the scientists and our doctors were telling us to do: wear a mask, stay
home keep distant.
No
one panicked, but millions of Americans, tens of millions of Trump supporters
ignored that advice, and now the economy is in tatters and the do nothing
republicans in the senate and the White House are disinclined to do anything
about it.
Ask
whoever it is that thinks Donald Trump has good policies and is doing a good
job, what is good about that.
Don’t
let them off the hook, make them explain themselves, and don’t let them tell
you that they are happy with him for appointing conservative judges to the
federal bench.
