POTUS/General Election Thread 2020 + Aftermath

[ReluctantSamurai]

I mentioned it as a limiter on our sympathy for his position, but as with so many other things it's beyond Trump: it's the Republican way. Republican lawmakers in Congress and the states have on many occasions maliciously - or minimally negligently - exposed their colleagues to the virus.

I would put that the other way around---it's beyond the Republicans, it's the Trump way. If Fearless Leader had scared the Be-Jezus out of everyone back when he was interviewing with Woodward, much of this Covid Idiocy doesn't happen. The GOP has long since surrendered any semblance of being it's own conservative entity, and simply licks Trump's boot-heels for whatever he says or wants. If he had come out for wearing a mask and social distancing from the start, the GOP would've fell into line.
