Boy did the Dems screw Covid up. Image
They pushed a "return to normal" from day one, even more than Trump. And you could see it was another "Mission Accomplished" fiasco from a thousand miles away...

How can you slam anti-vaxxers for their nonchalance, while also pretending the virus would be gone by July 4th?

This recklessness led to where we are today:

BAIT & SWITCH

Biden/Pelosi have advanced the GOP agenda more effectively than Trump or McConnell.

◼️ Protesters brutalized
◼️ Miller's border policy embraced
◼️ Military budget growing
◼️ ICE budget growing

And Biden defends the filibuster, which hinders voting rights reform. Image
"Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again." - George W. Bush

I spent years inside the Democratic establishment and I finally accepted the brutal truth: When Biden and Pelosi call for a stronger Republican Party, they mean it. Image

🚨BREAKING:

Biden affirms he will continue the GOP policy of reopening no matter the #COVID death toll.

"We are not going back to [shutdowns]."
Democrats decided they wanted the political "win" of appearing to vanquish the virus.

So rather than pay Americans a monthly stipend to stay distanced and starve the virus of contact, Biden pushed reopening even more than Trump.
Biden and Dem leaders played right into GOP hands by predicting #COVID19 was going away by July 4th.

How can you criticize anti-vaxxers when you're telling them things are returning to normal?

Was anything more obvious than another surge????

Biden and his media boosters spent months trying to convince America we were about to put #COVID behind us. July 4th was going to be a magical day when everything started returning to "normal."

It was bullshit and many of us called it out at the time. Now look where we are...
Back in March, I warned about the danger of #COVID19 triumphalism.

It was clear as day that the virus wasn't done with us. But capitalism needed its fodder, so the workers had to go back to work.
To those saying it's not Biden's fault, it's rightwingers refusing to get vaccinated...then why play into their talking point that the virus is nothing and we should just open things up?

The "it's over" propaganda was pushed by Dems to make Biden look like a hero. It backfired.

If you're furious that Bill Cosby is walking free

...but you're giving Joe Biden a pass for multiple accusations of sexual misconduct

...you're doing it wrong.

THREAD: BRUTAL #COVID TRUTH

With the J&J vaccine now on hold, let's assess:

From day one, both parties have shared the same pandemic strategy, though Dems have vaccinated more people.

1. Make sure billionaires keep minting $$.
2. Sacrifice lives to keep corporations humming.
THREAD: BRUTAL #COVID19 TRUTH

Both parties have made sure to provide as little help to people as possible.

Both parties have agitated for schools to reopen prematurely.

Both parties have sent the public mixed messages.

Both parties have avoided measures for REAL mitigation.
THREAD: BRUTAL #CORONAVIRUS TRUTH

There has always been only one (obvious) way to deal with the pandemic. I've tweeted some version of it since last March.

Here it is again:

Dismissing all supernatural, paranormal, and mystical experiences means you think it's perfectly rational that a universe popped out of nothing/nowhere and we're floating on a blue ball in an impossibly vast space where particles communicate across virtually limitless distances.
Fascinating how so many in the thread are assuming this is about religion.

People realize that supernatural, paranormal, and mystical experiences don't necessarily have ANYTHING to do with organized religion, correct?
I'm honestly baffled at some of the angry reactions to my original tweet.

I'm simply saying that people have inexplicable experiences that are outside the realm of the ordinary.

And to dismiss them doesn't make sense when our very existence is fundamentally inexplicable.
