Yeah, but it is germane to the conversation. I see a common thread being tugged at in this and many other posts. You either shit on Trump and equate him with unbridled evil or you are his supporter.

I think it might not matter who was president because the problem lies in the execution of safety measures by the populace. Even when masks weren't officially considered necessary I was wearing one around town because the governor supported masks. I guess if Obama was president I could imagine an impassioned speech might move the needle in the populace, but there still would be that contingent of asshats that want to buck what science tells us.

RE: Trump has covid.
Impassioned speeches are nice, but we'd probably have settled for the administration declaring masks officially necessary, rather than what they did. The president of the united states intentionally mismanaged a pandemic in the united states for his perceived political gain.

There's no universe in which this would've played out without trump as it did with him. There has to be a better way to express whatever it is we're trying to say when we insist as much.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It is nice to not have judgement clouded by what the more wishy-washy might claim to think of it.

Indeed, Hitler wasn’t the first tyrant to practice genocide.   The OLB would therefore find it expedient to give a pass to him and a few more like him on that basis.

1. I have yet to see that thread . The attack on OLB comes from a consistent pattern of behaviour .

2.I imagine those people would be far fewer and it's not just masks there is a ton of other things Trump should have been doing at the start .

Virally speaking, the WH is probably one of the riskier places to be right now - Trump is still contagious and still deriding mask wearing.

Sometimes, stigmas are dead on accurate.

Must be they're all republicunts.


Guess they deserve it...

Right?


Sure...

Gosh, I'm sorry.  I thought I typed 'Republicans are actually somewhat more prone', but - based on your response - I clearly typed 'All Republicans and ONLY Republicans contract COVID'.

And I must have added the clear implication that Republicans somehow deserved this disease.

Tell you what - in future, you tell me what your response to me is going to be, and I'll tailor an original post to match it.

Pointing to demographic  generalities  is not stereotyping
