Found out today you can't talk to Trumpers about anything ever.

I was really happy that NY had gotten through Sundays with zero deaths from COVID-19. I was naive enough to think that everyone, regardless of their political outlook, would see that as good news.

Stupid me.

That just gave one Trumphole the opportunity to spout off and say that NY's policies had been useless, the pandemic had just run its course, and that's what would happen in all the states experiencing spikes, even without masks and isolation and shutdowns. I get it. Cuomo is the liberal enemy and the liberal enemy can't possibly have done something good. Trump is God and he couldn't have possibly done anything less than perfectly.

Of course, when the deaths go over a million, Hannity and Limbaugh will give them new canned lines to regurgitate. I really can't grasp the mentality of people who'd rather be smug now than be actually alive later.

Yep, she was actually trying to give credit to trump for declining numbers in NY.

Go figure.

How could he have done well if he claims "I take no responsibility for it".

As the saying goes, they drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

If you could reason with tRumpers, they wouldn't be tRumpers.
