So I guess many people were better off – their friends weren’t dead from a preventable health crisis quite yet.

Trump and Stefanik are ghouls.
Those members of the GOP who support “the cruelty is the point” policies are just the same, IMO.

All this gaslighting about the so-called glory days of the previous administration reminds me of how people like Giuliani and Bush press secretary Dana Perino claimed in 2010 that—unlike Obama—there had been no terrorist attacks against the United States during the George W. Bush administration.

She might want to look at the numbers of “hard-working Americans” compared to 2020.

In MAGA-world the economy was horrible for all 8 years of Obama, then turned around immediately when Trump took over, and sank again as soon as Biden took the oath.

There is ONE word to describe Trump’s handling of the Covid Pandemic, and that word is BUNGLED.

Yeah, and Trump claimed that under Obama, the “real” unemployment rate was “maybe 40%”, and then it went down to nearly zero under his reign, and then back up to “maybe 40%” under Biden. Where does he get his insane number? If you count babies, schoolchilren, and the retired as being “unemployed”. How any adult falls for his lines of bullshit is beyond logical comprehension.
The same place he gets all his ‘facts’: they are pulled from a warm, dark, smelly place.

Bungled implies incompetence. But Trump deliberately did nothing to stop the pandemic when he thought it would hurt Democratic states most, and then he took the opportunity to deliberately sell quack cures and suppress information to try to promote himself instead. So there are a few much harsher words that belong there too.

Malicious and cruel, more like. They knew what they were doing, because they wanted to kill people they believed wouldn’t vote for them.
