You can argue how I'm misinterpreting things, etc... whatever. We're talking about COVID-19 response here. The topic is about misinformation, which is clearly being disseminated by our supposed commander-in-chief. I've seen plenty of responses from those in MAGA that deflect that discussion in favor of whatever else they can. Tired of it.
Not really. I think some people react negatively to unthinking criticism of President Trump even as they agree with a lot of it. And while I am sympathetic to the "Any Sentient Adult 2020" campaign, assuming Trump is voted out, this pandemic will be with us long after he is gone, and we are going to have to start thinking about how his successor deals with it. Voting Trump out is necessary but not sufficient for us to get ahold of this pandemic.
