I don't know why Im doing this to myself. It brings tears to my eyes. I'm reading "COVID!! What a joke!" comments from CPAC last year. At least 440,000 lives mightve been saved if GQP had taken it seriously, sted of using CPAC to spread stupidity.
CPAC on Covid, last year:...1
CPAC on Covid, last year:...1
...this is where murderous @larry_kudlow at CPAC claimed "socialist" democrats America would cause more damage to the country than COVID....2
...they even infected kids who volunteered for the event. Here is one from East Carolina University. They ultimately had (to date) 550 infections. Epidemiologically, after 10 generations of transmission, that led to at least 20,000 infections, 380 deaths...3
.. CPAC people went on Hannity, saying concern about COVID was solely an attack on Trump, and his show sent that message to watchers who Im sure believed it. (NOTE: By now, Trump told Bob Woodward how serious it was and lots would die. But he let his chief "advisor" say this)...4
...and once the message was sent out, again and again and again, from CPAC to Fox, the cult mindset settled in: Calls for taking COVID seriously was dismissed out of hand as pure politics. This laid the groundwork for anti-masking (which CPAC then and now belittle)...5
...so the words out of CPAC were slavishly repeating the con: That democrats concern was a fake because they wanted to tank the economy so that Trump would lose reelection...6
...and if the message wasn't strong enopugh, Trump came back in a few days later to make sure tht all of his followers understood the meaning of the lies and propganada from CPAC: Acting with personal responsibility was reacting to a con from the democrats...7
..this is unforgiveable. @CPAC murdered ppl with their stupidity & arrogance because they delight in "liberal tears." Well, they got it. Everyone who saw this coming is overwhelmed by tears, shed at 500,000 deaths. And CPAC 2021 boos Facemasks & still makes jokes. Just evil.
