Wait, what? I need more context. Well, maybe not context because that’s never mattered, but what was said before and after? Did anything actually prompt it?? he was asked about the rise in cases and started riffing about how we have the most the best testing, you know obama and biden stopped the testing right in the middle but we have the most tests and the lowest mortality rate, you know they didnt like it when I closed borders to chiiiiiiiina, but i did and then all those other countries and I saved millions of lives. butyou know we do the most tests anywhere in the world.
thats not an exact quote but he did use all those words in about that order. it was ba.na.na.s.
He is .... aware... that neither Obama or Biden is currently in a position to stop states from doing any testing, right?

it was the pivot directly to Obama/Biden that was really bizarre. Like he was blaming them for a rise in a virus that didnt exist until 10 or so months ago.

He loves the poorly educated because they believe whatever he says, even if it's so obviously, ridiculously incorrect.

I shared a clip from a comedian interviewing people at a rally, and they asked them their opinion on different topics. One of them was 9/11. At least one of them responded with them blaming Obama for somehow being involved because he should have paid more attention. This dude would hit them with facts and they’d be dumbfounded. Or not believe him. You just can’t reason with these people. They’ll believe what they want to believe, and if someone is spewing some nonsense that fits their narrative, that’s their new guy 🤷🏻♀️

This is among their dumber talking points. Yeah, we criticized him for shutting down Chinese nationals from coming here because yeah, it WAS xenophobia and not public health. As is abundantly evident by the continued use of racist names for the virus. I mean what the polka dancing hell. And when he issued travel bans they have always been done poorly and for xenophobic reasons, resulting in chaos, danger, and outright harm.

I think it that's part of it but I think it's pretty clear he isn't some mastermind wagging the dog, he's an idiot that opportunists like Bannon have used to brainwash half a country. I'm grumpy.

Oh for sure. I suspect he's also brain addled/narcissistic enough to create his own reality or easily repeat what others tell him because it fits his desired narrative. I'm also very grumpy.

Ugh I've seen the H1N1 response being brought up again and it was something about testing. He was probably thinking about that but his brain couldn't process.

Are you guys going to read this book? I am ETA the psychology of dysfunctional families is fascinating to me, so I'd probably be interested even if it weren't THIS family. I'm also interested in the gossip. I recognize that it's 100% biased and will likely confirm my own biases. 🤷♀️

I dont need backup stories holding court in my brain. I'm also not very interested in a narrative that passes blame for his behavior onto his parents. I know there's a nature/nurture argument there, but I think it's pretty clear that he is vile by nature.

Starting off the week with my aunt and uncle posting about how the dangers of covid have been exaggerated by Democrats to win the election. You know my family, huh? If we can’t beat people this stupid come November, I give up.

That is hilarious. And awful. And altogether not surprising. You'd be amazed by the number of tutorials on track changes I have to give.
