Trump - when will the obsession stop?

The fascist one, where he dictated what the state governors should do? Or, perhaps you’re talking about his indecision based on faulty information? The leader you want is the one who would do what you would in a like situation. Taking into account everything that was happening in January of this year, what would you have done? U.S. state leaders sat back and waited for Trump to make the wrong decision it’s sad that you don’t see it for what it is.

There are standard practices for responding to a pandemic. I’ve already answered this in another thread. You’ve been lead to believe nothing can be done and it’s all the states’ fault. Nobody sat back, people thought the federal government was doing its job as it has in response to every other infectious disease. Little did they realize how far the brain drain went with Trump purging the “deep state”. You will not be rewarded for your steadfast loyalty to incompetence.

There are many things we can do:

1. Widespread testing - nationwide within twenty four hours. Companies and businesses that want to open up must require employees to have a negative test before coming to the office, place of business. Otherwise they can work from home. Require monthly re-tests.
2. Nationwide contact tracing - there are apps that use anonymous bluetooth data to alert everyone who is near an individual that is infected. Sign up can be voluntary, but I’d make it a requirement for getting insurance on the exchange or something like that to drive the incentive.
3. Localized lockdowns where positivity rate is above 3%. We have now reverted to this measure (positivity rate) because the virus is so widespread. However, if the more we follow the first two points the more limited lockdowns would be.
4. International and interstate travel - Require a negative covid test for plane travel nationwide and internationally.

Fascist? Responding to a national crisis with a national plan is fascist now? Lol I’ll bet you’ll change your tune with the first crisis Biden faces. Listening to the hypocrisy and constant apologizing for incompetence is exhausting. As I said, there is no way history will look kindly on this. People said the same thing about Bush and by in large Iraq is still seen as a huge mistake. His image has improved only in contrast to Trump! So Trump’s best bet is someone worse and more incompetent comes along…god help us. MAGA!
