"Sign for the Jet"...that's two strikes right there. A third strike because the J is capitalized.

It’s always trump’s fault. Doesn’t matter how blue the state is, trump is so powerful that even blue states followed him blindly. Doesn’t matter that those states’ leaders and every left news organization was vehemently against literally anything Trump said about COVID, the people there all followed trump.

Ain’t it funny how being THE PRESIDENT can impact an entire country.

I thought all the ills of the world during the Trump Presidency were solely Obama's fault, like all the ills of the Biden presidency will be Trump's fault?

Well when you have someone that can say Jump and 50% of the country says how high? And they say it will be over by Easter and it will be beautiful, nothing to see here. That’s kind of a problem

The biggest issue was his opposition sowing seeds of doubt about the safety of vaccine in order to discredit him and gain political clout. That's what all of this has been to the political left - since the beginning. They saw any opportunity to use a crisis to gain power, and they did exactly that. It was textbook, actually. The left is full of fantastic politicians. Awful, vile, evil people as a whole, but great politicians.

So it’s only acceptable for that to happen if the parties get switched?

So why is it that now republicans are are far less supportive of vaccines and less likely to opt to become vaccinated?

Because Democrats made it political. You saw it. Parties in power swapped, and now the opposition is coming from Republicans. If Democrats, instead of using a world crisis as a political coup, had been all-in - supporting a quick Vaccine and recovery process, there would have been a much more unified approach and solution.

Very sad, and rather pathetic, but unsurprising.

So... republicans would rather die, sicken others, and prolong all of this than use science, or their own critical thinking on vaccines because it might also be something Democrats are in support of? Got it. But wait. Didn’t trump and most GOP Lawmakers get vaccinated? And isn’t this all thanks to operation warpspeed? And still so many are opposed.
