you really going to scapegoat this on one man?
I'm not sure, but that doesn't really put you above the guy that does the same thing all the time. It kinda puts you next to him.

@Kwek00 him, hell all government be all “but economy...screw safety just work like normal” also downplaying it.

@SeadragonPrincess If you want to criticise the guy, and I'm perfectly okay with that because I believe there are things to criticize him for, then point out what you are attacking and make your case.

But creating this one big evil category and loading it with all the sins you can find. That's the same MO that the guy uses that people criticise in this post. It's just creating public outrage by playing on emotions. The same thing that people were correctly angry about when Trump used this tactic for 4 years. You have to watch out that you don't become what you hate.

And when you are in power, it's pretty hard to deal with situations as this. The thing I would blame people for is that the US was fairly late in the entire process. Things were already bad in certain European countries, and we knew what was happening in China. They had a lot of information to adjust their communication too and too understand what they are dealing with. I think Trump didn't, but so did manny others. Like this guy:

Just remember all of these people, when you go to vote. It's an entire list, but don't scapegoat one individual just because you dislike him.

@Kwek00 easy, don’t have overly idiotic stuff for medical regulations with idiotic state per state license
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@SeadragonPrincess I never heared annyone complain about that on here before.

@Kwek00 Let's see, if I'm not willing to say that 200K deaths of US citizens would be a "great job" I don't think I ever have to worry about whether I hold any high ground of any kind over the Great Trumpkin.

I'm not, so I don't.

Scapegoat? Really? The USA's response to this is entirely, 100% his fault. There is no disputing this. Orangeknight for him all you want, but anyone who isn't a mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, shit-eating Trump supporter understands what he has done and did not do.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@daisymay What ever makes you happy

lol "orange knight for him" , nice one.
I guess you had trouble reading my entire post.
daisymay · 51-55, T
@Kwek00 Why would I read the whole thing when you started with such an obviously bullshit premise? 🤷‍♀️

I'm not a Trumpansy.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@daisymay yeah, cause playing on emotions and throwing a bunch of outrage on a big pile and attributing it to one person is a form of conversation only Trump supporters use.
daisymay · 51-55, T
@Kwek00 I'm sorry if you don't like it. Maybe next time don't act like the Great Trumpkin is merely a scapegoat for the Trump Pandemic that he has wrought? Just a thought.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@daisymay 🤣 people are you are such a bunch of swine. Left - Right - Center, moaning and bitching when the same rhetoric is targeted towards a group that you identify with, but perfectly okay to do it yourself.
daisymay · 51-55, T
@Kwek00 I mean, derision and mockery by mimicry is a time-tested literary device. But, hey, if you can't appreciate it, I understand.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@daisymay Thanks for making my original point 👍️
daisymay · 51-55, T
@Kwek00 Nothing I wrote agreed that he's merely a scapegoat, but if makes you think you're still better than everyone else, you go right on ahead so you can do some more handwringing about people not mocking Trumpansies in another thread.
SeadragonPrincess · 26-30, F
@daisymay all the choices are and were shit for canidates
daisymay · 51-55, T
@SeadragonPrincess Oh yes, you know that Hillary would have been even worse. Guaranteed. That bitch is always crumbling under pressure.
SmartKat · 56-60, F
@Kwek00 It’s not Donald’s fault that COVID-19 happened.

But his behavior in response has been less than stellar.
SeadragonPrincess · 26-30, F
@SmartKat his behavior is treating this only slightly better than how the texas govern is
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@SmartKat Hey Kat, I never said annything diffrent. But there is a big diffrence between saying that his way of dealing with it is inadequat and that his communication was disastrous. And putting every dead person that this virus causes unders his name.
daisymay · 51-55, T
@Kwek00 He can call it the Kung Flu or the Chinese Virus and I can't call it the Trump Pandemic? I think not. Especially since he is bigly winning the infection number competition.

This is the Great Trumpkin's baby now.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@daisymay Nice to back up my innitial point again 👍️
