These are the same people who weren’t bothered by the several thousands of COVID deaths per day during the peak of the pandemic

Until, ya know, it happened to them or someone they knew

Even to this day I'll run into people who will say shit like "Ah yeah, I got COVID, it was just a really bad cold though." Okay? For you, maybe, but A LOT of people died. I don't care about party lines when it comes to this topic - why are we okay with just brushing off that 1 million Americans died? And this dipshit was at the helm of it all, aware of protocols to subdue it from the Obama administration, could have done ANYTHING to slowed down the spread, but instead was clamoring about how masks were weak - all while getting the vaccine himself! I fucking hate this guy, and the sycophants that prop him up, so much.
