A lot of the defenses of Trump on Covid remind me of the years-long effort to defend Bush's Iraq War policy. Lots of special pleading and contortions until everyone kind of just gave up, slunk away and quietly admitted it was a colossal mistake.
In the end, no one really did much soul-searching or reckoning. It was just kinda "whoops!" that became "end endless wars!" as a slogan but never actual policy and an attempt to decry the libs for being the deep state, #actually.
But the brutal fact is that two consecutive GOP presidencies have led the country into epochal disasters, widespread misery and mass death and there's a reason that's the case.
And yes the “mass death” last time were largely Iraqis.
