Trump supporters might be masochists, or crazy, or too far gone in the culture war, but even with these psychological and personality weaknesses, they should understand many big time Trump supporters, and yes, even Trump, are not on your side. How do I know?
Think about what these two notes mean.
Two notes:
1.Trump support radio & TV hosts trashed Trump's vaccine, but if you believe Trump had it created and want to give him credit, you SHOULD get the shot.
2. The GOP voted against a ~$1.9T stimulus for the country simply because the Dems voted for it and Biden signed it into law.
If Trump wanted to help his followers avoid covid-19, wouldn't he DEMAND we go get the vaccine shot he developed? He got the shot, so why wouldn't Trump advise you to do so? He's has been too low key telling people about HIS vaccine.

Fauci: Trump should urge his followers to get vaccinated

Dr. Anthony Fauci said Sunday he wishes former President Donald Trump would use his popularity among Republicans to persuade more of his followers to get the COVID-19 vaccine.
In a round of interviews on the morning news shows, the government’s top infectious disease expert lamented polling showing that Trump supporters are more likely to refuse to get vaccinated, saying politics needs to be separated from “commonsense, no-brainer” public health measures.
Fauci said it would be a “game changer” for the country’s vaccine efforts if the former president used his “incredible influence” among Republicans.

“If he came out and said, ‘Go and get vaccinated. It’s really important for your health, the health of your family and the health of the country,’ it seems absolutely inevitable that the vast majority of people who are his close followers would listen to him,” Fauci told “Fox News Sunday.”
There was no immediate comment from the former president’s office Sunday.
Trump has urged people to get vaccinated, doing so again two weeks ago at a conservative political gathering in Florida"
The thing is, big name Trump supporters are confusing Trump supporters, so TRUMP NEEDS TO REPEAT HIS VACCINE SUPPORT MUCH MORE PUBLICLY AND LOUDLY AND PASSIONATELY.
I listen to what I will call "Trump Radio" and watch Fox News opinion people, Tucker, Sean, and Laura. The things these people say are humorous and outrageous at the same time.
Tucker uses pretzel logic all the time, saying the vaccine was not to be relied on, or bragging about how well Trump handled the pandemic defense, then recently saying women should not and cannot perform in the military. Tucker was talking about combat I presume, but he didn't make that his main argument. It's dumb, Google that crap for yourself, you'll see why women in the military makes sense.
Tucker used an infantile complaint to President Biden warning from scientists and doctors that a 4th of July barbeque should practice covid-19 safety, i.e., stick to visiting with close family and friends you are sure do not have covid-19, among common safety measures.
Tucker says “How dare you!?” How DUMB YOU Tucker? President Biden did not tell Tucker he could not invite everyone, and if you get covid-19, you cannot say you were not warned. OK with you Tucker?
Tucker did a bit against the Trump vaccine too! Gaslighting America has become routine for Tucker.
The one bit that stood out to me this AM, 3-12-2021 is criticism of Biden's speech on the $1.9T stimulus bill passed yesterday by Congress and signed by Biden. Biden explained why the country needs the stimulus bill, then asked people to wear masks and get the covid-19 vaccine shot ASAP.
A radio shock-jock Trumpist [Rush Limbaugh wanna be] on Boston's WRKO, at 10AM, 12 March 2021, gave listeners two choices on President Biden's speech to the nation the evening before,
#1 he was "spot on," or
#2, Biden was threatening us.
OMG! Just these two choices? How dumb and tone deaf can you be? He's being intentionally stupid, and provocative, of course, to help his ratings [willit?].
The shock-jock said Biden threatened Americans, and will force all of us, including children! (oh no, not my kids!) to get the vaccine. The shock-jock said no one can do that; you can't force Americans to get vaccinated. The shock jock asked what happened to "it's my body, my choice" the liberal rant, meaning this was hypocritical to demand people to get protected by a vaccine? The shock-jock is confused, as no one is talking about an abortion decision.
Of course, Biden is NOT forcing anyone to get the vaccine shot. No one word about forcing anyone to get the vaccine other than if the covid-19 gets worse we might have to shut down. THAT was Biden's threat?
If Trump supporters pull up from history (Google their comments), and REFLECT ON TRUMP & HANNITY said about COVID-19 IGNORANCE A YEAR AGO 10 MARCH 2020 they might open their eyes to the lies and idiotic things these two said. Trump took no responsibility at all because his hands were tid? I thought Trump was all powerful when he became President!
The way the shock-jock rn his question on Biden's speech with two choices is like when Trumpsters say the >500,000 death count is likely high. Many scientists say it might actually be MUCH higher, but that is another detail the Trumpsters do not want to talk about.
So, here's one of those zero sum questions. Trump supporters give us TWO (always zero sum, black and white, my way of the highway) choices for the overcounted death count:
#1 people died of a health issue they already had; or
#2 liberals lied about the covid-19 deaths, after all the original estimate in March 2020 was just 240K
There is are two more alternatives. People died of covid-19, plain and simple, and those who were already sick with a pre-existing condition got covid-19, and died faster and sooner because they got covid-19!
There are so many testimonials of the covid-19 death can they all be faked?
That is incredibly cynical and stupid since more people die as the shock-jock Rush Limbaugh wanna bes, and Fox "New"'s Tucker and Sean and Laura peddle their pretzel logic.
Then there is OANN! Insanity in print on-line!
Biden’s Lies About Vaccines Spark Criticism, Rebuttal By AP Fact-Check
https://www.oann.com/bidens-lies-about-vaccines-spark-rebuttal-by-ap-fact-check/
OAN Newsroom UPDATED 7:35 AM PT – Friday, March 12, 2021
While the Biden administration has touted itself for maintaining the truth, it seems Democrats were caught up in their own lie. Joe Biden’s false statements about coronavirus vaccines are now sparking criticism even amongst mainstream media outlets.
According to an AP Fact-Check Thursday, [AP reported the ~3M was over several days, and "only" 1.56M were vaccinated in 1 day. Note AP also recalled that on Feb 26 2.8M doses were administered. What is being accomplished by calling any of these numbers lies?] Biden falsely claimed the U.S. vaccinated almost 3 million people in one day last week. Biden aide Andy Slavitt echoed the false claims that same day.
“On Saturday, we set an all-time, single-day record: nearly 3 million Americans vaccinated,” he claimed. “A pace seen nowhere else in the world.” However, the CDC reported the actual number is closer to 1.5 million [Oops, is OANN lying since the number is 1.56M? Is rounding down a lie?.]
Biden officials were also caught lying about vaccinating the elderly. They claimed 60 percent of the demographic had received the vaccine.
“In terms of protecting the most vulnerable, our core duty as a nation, when we came into office 8 percent of people over 65 were vaccinated,” Slavitt stated. “Today, 60 percent are vaccinated and, according to the CDC’s new guidance, vaccinated parents can now visit and hug their grandchildren.”
In reality, only 31 percent of Americans aged 64 and older are fully-vaccinated. This comes as Biden tried to take the credit for developing vaccines away from President Trump who has already slammed Biden for refusing to acknowledge those efforts.
Now, March 2021 >500,000 Americans are DEAD FROM A FLU HANNITY SAID WAS MUCH OVERBLOWN. RADIO / TV OPINION LEADS FOR TRUMP SAY BIDEN IS TAKING CREDIT FOR TRUMP'S WARP SPEED COVID-19 VACCINE, SAYING TRUMP IS A HERO FOR THIS, MIRACLE. THEN THE SAME PEOPLE SAY BIDEN IS GOING TO FORCE AMERICANS TO TAKE THE VACCINE, IMPLYING IT MAY NOT BE SAFE TO DO SO! THESE RADIO / TV PEOPLE SAY THE SHUT DOWN AND MASKS DON'T WORK, BUT TRUMP SUPPORTED BOTH! WAS TRUMP FORCED TO SUPPORT BOTH? I THOUGHT TRUMP WAS ALL POWERFUL! THINK WHAT YOU ARE ARGUING FOLKS! YOU ARE CONTRADICTING YOURELVES IN ALMOST THE SAME BREATH AS YOUR CRITICISM OF BIDEN. ADD CPAC'S GOLDEN IDOL, THE NAZI RUNE ON CPAC'S STAGE, AND ASK YOURSELF WHAT IS THE MESSAGE. TRUMPISM IS AUTHORITARIAN, FASCIST, & IMMORAL AND DEFINITELY NOT INTERESTE DIN WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY BEFORE WHAT IS GOOD FOR HIS BANK ACCOUNT. ALL WE NEED TO KNOW IS WHAT IS OBVIOUS.
