Ima be first in line for the vaccine when it hits the general public. Literally can’t wait.
This past year has been absolute trash and has exposed an incompetent ruling GOP. 250k+ dead for no reason. None. Their response—and the people throwing out conspiracies—smh so many are complicit in this atrocity. History will condemn so many.
Maybe governments have to play a bigger role in regulating social media. The conspiracy theories that were allowed to spread unchecked absolutely contributed to thousands of covid deaths. Senseless. Barbaric. People are still saying the plague is fake. And for what?
The United States—really much of the entire western world but especially the US—needs to do some serious reflection. History will not be kind. This was entirely preventable. So many people dead. Just because people would rather not be inconvenienced momentarily?
Because they couldn’t stomach that Trump is actually an incompetent buffoon? Think about what so many voters—a strong minority—were willing to vote for: literally letting the plague destroy the country as long as they get some public racism. Total insanity.
The part of the country that once believed in American exceptionalism now believes in delusions and conspiracy theories. All because demographics have shifted a little and they don’t have complete control of power everywhere. Just revolting when you look at the virus
And yes things will get better under Biden. And a majority rejected Trump and what he represents. But imo the Trump and virus era are synonymous and just totally repugnant. Needless deaths. Stupid conspiracies. Constant lies. Lives ruined for Trump. Just no shame. Shameless
They really thought “If we stay open, it will help Trump’s reelection odds” well how’d that turn out? How many people died for Trump just to lose anyway? In a sane society this stuff would be criminal. But we have to keep playing the game. Totally ridiculous. But its America
