If you meant anything else then you’re way off track. And the rest of what you said I don’t even understand what you were trying to say to be quite honest.
What I will tell you is the only thing I do care about is that if I can get just one person, Democrat, Republican, white, black, or orange to take the proper precautions and potentially save another human beings life, then I have done my job. But as I’ve said in the past this gets taxing after months of trying to get people to realize this shit is serious. It’s petty but it’s very difficult to not say I fucking told you so.

I don't think we really disagree here. I guess my point was only that people selectively assign blame to whoever happens to be president when something bad happens, when in fact the way the country was founded grants most of the power to the states. People want to have it both ways though.
If he tries to make federal level declarations to control the virus in some way, people say he's overstepping his authority, which he kinda is. But when state governors utterly fail to do anything meaningful and in some instances make the problem worse, people say "this is what you get in trump's america". Ditto for the riots. I'm just so sick of partisan american politics, and it's especially bad this year. Again I'm earnestly sorry that you've been seriously impacted by this I meant no disrespect. |
