That is an untenable position as by supporting some human life you are allowing for the smothering of magnitudes more human life.
Being in favor of all human life is a total fantasy position. People really pulling for Trump to pull through right now do so knowingly it will likely lead to tens of thousands more people dying.
He’s in my thoughts and prayers: I’m thinking that some people appear to be recovering and then rapidly decline; and I’m praying that he’s one of them.
So he’s gonna come out of this with the clear message “don’t be afraid of this…no masks, open every business, go wild and if you get it you get it” causing even more excess deaths
A carbon copy of a scenario laid out at the beginning of all this by me and others.
I cannot go so far as to wish a miserable death on anyone, even those who deserve it, but if this is real, him surviving literally means countless more unnecessary deaths. In which case…
Only really stupid people will fall for this, considering that he needed to be airlifted to a hospital and cared for by a stable of doctors with cutting edge experimental treatments that most of us won’t have access to.
Sadly, there are a lot of really stupid people in the USA.
I’ve constantly posted about hoping for trumps death, but ok. I just have enough self awareness to understand large parts of society aren’t going to feel the same way.
The more I think about this the more I want him to survive. I think he’s an extremely weak candidate who has been losing by a very consistent amount for like 8 months now. He’s not going to get a bounce from getting a virus he denied and mismanaged. He’s not capable of pivoting to a winning message.
The flip side is that most of the truly awful long term outcomes are probably off the table if he dies.
