Trump did next to nothing about the pandemic when it turns out “something” was his job

Hey, be fair. He actively worked to make it worse and committed literal acts of piracy, stealing PPE intended for blue states and giving them to his son-in-law to resell. Remember when Boston had to borrow the Pats private jet to prevent the PPE that the city bought from being stolen? You bet your ass Pepperidge Farm fucking remembers.

I don’t remember much about that, but it’s easy for me to believe he did about any bad deed after these last 8 years

I have worked hard to remind some of the Trump-voting Massholes I have the pleasure of interacting with on a regular basis of this. I think I’ve made inroads with at least one of them. I also make sure to bring this up:

“The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy.”

Trump committed negligent homicide in blue states for political gain.

Biden also did next to nothing.

In fact, pretty much the entire West did next to nothing. They don’t care if we live or die.

What he did do was get vaccine distribution working. That made a world of difference in fatality rates

The person you responded to has not one iota of good faith. I’ve seen them in dozens of threads pushing accelerationist lies. They want this country to burn.

What does this even mean? Biden just happened to benefit from research that began before he was even president.

Also continued the Trump policy of spreading vaccine misinformation in Asia to undermine China, causing countless deaths.

What an accomplishment to distribute vaccines so that people can go back to the office/to the shops. Only a superhero could manage that.

What is this toxic bullshit? You’ve been pretending everything is fine and gaslighting the fuck out of people like the person you’re responding to, and somehow Biden showing how fucked up he is last night is her fault? Look at how you’ve treated people on your own side when Trump wins.
