    It’s crazy to me that people don’t hold Trump more accountable for his anti-mask and anti-isolation rhetoric when COVID first hit. More Americans died to COVID than all wars combined, and his bullshit killed so many people. I know for a fact that my uncle and cousin caught it at the same superspreader MAGA event shortly after he encouraged them “not to live in fear”. They both died of it.

    I can’t think of anyone who has done that much damage to American citizens. Arguably Regan, since he is sort of responsible for all of the evils plaguing us including Trump. Certainly a paltry serial killer doesn’t compare.

      I also though familial loyalties would be more powerful than political ones and that he would see a backlash from covid.

      Maybe he would’ve if there was more cogent, aggressive opposition.
