Once upon a time....the pandemic was raging in mostly in Blue States.
You had Trump and his administration downplaying it, spreading misinformation, media bashing, deflecting wildly, denying responsibility, attacking Governors, threatening blackmail with PPE and pressuring Red States to re-open ASAP, despite all expert medical advice......
Naturally, Trump's base and the craven GOP Legislative cowards seemed perfectly fine with this. The Right wing media was playing their typical enabling role as well.....
Now the Red States are being scourged, particularly in the Southwest.
The Governors of a number of these States made the conscious decision, to ape Donald Trump, by suppressing information, playing dumb, and encouraging people to ignore PPE (masks) and social distancing.
For what? To make Orange Boss happy? A "States rights" thing? MAGA?
What makes it even more ridiculous is that now these same "leaders" are pleading for Federal help and direction....and are currently receiving the same thing the Blue States got - NOTHING.
Did they honestly expect something different here? As if Trump actually cared about THEM? Or his deluded base?
Or for that matter anyone?
Plenty of people on this board could see where this was going. Couple of months ago.... I stated that thousands of Americans would pay a terrible price of having Trump as President
The bill has come due....
