    This country is so screwed if this guy gets into office. He’s just vice-signaling to all the very worst elements in society.

    He… Literally helped expedite the research and roll out. Even if you like those words coming from his mouth you have to accept he’s actively just saying words to lie to you…

        Oh, you mean Operation Warp Speed, which Trump announced on May 15, 2020 after 100k deaths in the US?

        Did you know it was funded by the CARES act, which was introduced into the House by Democrat Joe Courtney on January 24, 2019? Yup, Democrats were introducing Coronavirus legislation over a year before Trump “Warp Speeded”.

        But Trump completely bungle testing, couldnt make sure medical personnel had access to protective gear, he continually lied about how serious the pandemic was and spewed misinformation about quack cures like hydroxychloroquine. At a time when America needed unity, Republicans divided it with anti-mask rhetoric, which they continue even today.

        But yes, at least Trump signed the CARES Act bill. “Ta da”

      This is where I divide Republicans into two groups:

      • Evil people who believe that Republican lies will serve them in some way.
      • Stupid people who will believe the most outrageous lies.

    He’ll find any way to defund education. Why? Because a dictator always “loves the poorly educated.” Why? Because they’re easier to control.

    Get with the program, folks. Everything is about control.

        They already have the power. Control/subjugation is harder. It takes manipulation and requires subjects to comply and not rise up.

        The conservatives have already acquiesced to their “dear leader.” It’s the pesky liberals and progressives who have enough intelligence to know that what is happening is wrong. Get rid of that element and you have ultimate control.
