(1/2) Yesterday, Trump began by accusing nurses of hoarding or stealing face masks. He then accused hospitals of hoarding ventilators. He then admits there actually ARE shortages, but blames Obama. This is beyond gaslighting. This is like spewage from a radioactive gas cloud.
(2/2) Nothing to compare it to, but what comes closest is when we watched the Soviet gov't press briefings about Chernobyl, when the reactor was still burning and Russians didn't realize we could actually SEE it from orbit. Radiation meters sounded an alarm over half the planet.
Similarly, alarms about Trump's handling of - well, everything - are blaring loud and clear across the country. Yet somehow (and sadly) these alarms are only heard by half the country. Getting the rest of the country to bear witness to the alarms we hear is an important challenge
