This is actually so funny it’s hard to believe it’s real. He’s like a sitcom character

It was really bizarre watching this live. Those videos are all still up there on YouTube for everybody to witness again...

In one of his Covid press releases he brought in a Taiwanese reporter a couple of times just to really hit home that the virus was from China. And of course Trump made sure to ask him where he was from.

It was real bizarre. Exactly as you said like a sitcom character.

I honestly cannot believe that this wasn’t the end for him, people watched the idiot stare at this sign, attempt to will the tiny gears of his mind into action and smuggly waddle up to that podium to suggest, as if it were the most obvious and simple thing in the world, that we inject bleach and just general light into our veins and everything will be hunky dory.

Aside from the actual lunacy of this suggestion did he think that for months every medical professional on the planet had been tirelessly working and searching for an effective treatment, in that process also drafting public safety measures to buy themselves more time to find an effective treatment yet it took big brains over here to look at this 3 point general precaution sign, that they fucking made ! To realise that we could just apply the same healthcare to our bodies as we do to furniture!

Absolutely fuck me, people still went on to not only vote for him but to risk their lives storming their own government buildings for him ! Some of them are still upholding his name !

Surely your brains exist only as a fine soup if none of that sounds like actual, unfiltered insanity right !?

After all of that American voters still gave this man the second most total votes in a Presidential election in the history of the Republic.

Yeah.

I suppose this is what years of disenfranchisement and poorly maintained education systems results in !

Everyone says that, and it's part of it. But more to the point it's a cultural issue. These people loathe learning and education. You can't teach the unwilling.

We’ve got to find a way to change that because if not they’ll become the majority, they loathe education because they’re told knowledge is evil by self-serving leaders, I don’t know if there is a solution but it for sure starts with governance.

I know this already but every time I see it repeated I think, “The US is absolutely fucked. We’re never coming back from this.”

I didn’t know the sensation of dread before this really. Now we’re basically besties, always hanging out together. Good ol dread
