Someone else pointed out the contradiction of this and his supporters not taking it seriously enough to wear masks (let alone the anti vaxx contingent) but I suppose the cognitive dissonance is so overwhelmingly strong with that crowd that mere contradiction is irrelevant.
Absolutely. Whatever he says goes, and they’ll love it if for no other reason than it is something to own the libs with. The contradiction makes it even better. “First you were all worried about the hoax China virus that’s no worse than the flu, now Trump gets a vaccine first and you’re still not happy??? Total Trump Derangement Syndrome!!!”
But more importantly, some undecideds who are worried about the pandemic or who turned on him over it will come home to daddy.
I would not bet a single dime on this election either way. The possibility of rigging looms so large there is almost no way to ensure the final result is the actual result
I can see the argument but geez making this a platform talking point in 2020 would be an ice cold move for Joe considering that support from Black Americans is a huge part of his narrative. The whole point of many 2020 protests is that they expose exactly what American is and that it needs to change. “This isn’t who we are” is purely a slogan to protect white people from feeling guilty.
I think the context matters a lot, for example if I were writing him a speech, it would basically go something like this:
[List of Trumpy things, Kyle Rittenhouse types, racism, ripping families apart at the border.]
This isn’t who we are!
[Point to charities trying to reunite families, BLM leaders, peaceful protesters, advocates for the underprivileged.]
THIS is who we are!
The argument isn’t that America has alwasy been perfect and doesn’t need to change, it’s that “America” is the people fighting for that change and standing up for their fellow Americans. It’s that there are way more people who want to unite and be a country with equality and justice than people who don’t.
Yes, but covid would have killed 150 million people if trump didn’t ban china whereas H1N1 was only supposed to kill 12 people until obiden messed it up. Prove me wrong, without references to stats, facts, news, or reality (which are all known to have an anti trump bias). I will only accept arguments that I feel are true.
