If Dotard had said everyone must wear a mask...

[The Genealogist]

these people we know as maskholes/COVIDiots would be armed to the teeth right now, patrolling every neighborhood for anyone so much as poking their noses out the door without a mask. They don't care about freedom. That much is clear in their zeal to rob women of their personal bodily autonomy alone. It is all about what their precious says.

2. Cult 45 does it everytime.

3. I don't think so. It would be the opposite.

If Trump told them they had to wear a mask they'd throw him under the bus immediately. That's why Trump will never tell them to wear a mask.

5. Not so sure.

WIth him saying it, and no doubt the RW propaganda machine in full tilt mode supporting him, they'd be all over it. I'm surprised he didn't get $30-a-pop MAGA masks made to sell to his adoring throngs.

8. I agree with you. Plus, he would have won the election if he had just worn a mask.

10. A lot of lives lost to save our democracy, at least

for now.

If I had lost a loved one to covid before the election, I would have told myself that over and over as I wrestled with the senselessness of all those deaths.

4. One of the things which makes me so furious about covidiots is that at the root of their movement

is fealty to the shittiest person alive. He's not even charismatic or smooth talking or physically enthralling or intellectually overwhelming. He's just shitty. Shitty in every way one can attempt to analyze.

You know how the time around the Civil War was called the "Age of Shoddy" because of war profiteers and their lousy goods? We're living in the Age of Shitty. And these fuckwits' worship of their wannabe god-king is killing more than just themselves. We're all fucking hostages to these dedicated disease-mongers.

6. Well said, RockRaven.

7. His drooling followers would have donned masks happily...

...and paid to purchase Trump-emblazoned masks had he not chosen to be such an anti-science jerk.

What a difference that could have made.

9. And we'd have beat back the virus months ago like the other nations...

like New Zealand and Thailand, Vietnam and South Korea who are just about free of it now.

But we have a moron for a president.
