...they deserve better from their government.

I think we're in the post-Labor Day period where facts and reports become confirmation of existing impressions and reputations of these candidates. Trump's recorded words, in this case, confirm for most voters what they likely suspected, that their president was lying to them about the virus that's sickened and killed their family members, put their jobs and livelihoods in needless jeopardy, and allowed the calamity to perpetuate into an indefinite future.

For the ones who shift belief like it was a choice off an Arby's menu in support of Trump, this revelation might be something that sobers, but you just gotta know they'll choose the murky, sloppy gyro over the savory brisket every time.
