This is fucking repulsive.
also you can think this is bad and still think the media is unfair and that other parts of this speech were good and fine and I don’t know why I need to explain this to all of you.
Alright, time for me to eat crow here.

I was wrong.

I jumped to a conclusion & passed judgement in a way that wasn't fair. It's clear that Trump isn't talking about jobs when he mentions George Floyd.

I should've known better & I'm sorry for rushing to spread something false.

Seriously, if Dems pull a full about-face on quarantine, it’ll validate every person who ever said that something like electing Trump needed to happen.
Conservatives played by the rules. And then the Dems changed them the moment it suited them. The media, our society’s watchdogs, golf-clapped along, and republicans got screwed for doing the right thing.
It will be an inescapable proof positive that it’s not possible to just win on the policy, or play by the rules, or be nice.

It’ll be a reedification that politics is a blood sport and nice guys lose. That you need, first a foremost, a fighter, everything else is secondary.

@voxdotcom has been a case study in hypocrisy when it comes to stay-at-home orders.

🧵Thread🧵 on some of the most egregious examples.
Protests for me, but not for thee.
The religion of social justice is given far more leeway to hold their services, it seems.

I had the real privilege to share my thoughts w/ @ddiamond for this piece on the public health community endorsing recent protests. He gives voice to his critics below.

To me, he’s one of the few who are earnestly asking what changed when many were saying the opposite weeks ago.
It should go without saying, but these things matter. The sacrifices people made to abide by quarantine requirements weren’t immaterial.

Pretending that they were, beyond just being cold-hearted, sets a bad precedent for how we weigh suffering when making public policy.
And it’s hard for many who resisted the lockdown to hear that this time it’s “worth it.”

Because weeks ago it was all about sacrifice; the message was that nothing was worth it. Now, we’re only focused on the other side of that scale - the benefits of ditching the requirements.
