I swear we live in different worlds
I couldn’t agree more. A lot of my family are conservative and talk politics all the time, and whenever any scandal or poor decision is brought up from Trump’s first term, they always downplay it as if it was barely an issue. According to them, just about everything was outside of Trump and the Republican party’s control, taken out of context, or just outright didn’t happen. It doesn’t matter how much evidence you provide, they refuse to accept that someone they voted for may have done something bad.

I mean, they see it as a virus’s fault, not the government’s fault.
Just like with the famine during the Great Leap Forward, not Mao’s fault, its just natural disaster.
Also, my mom suggested that the virus could’ve possibly originated from the US as an engineered bioweapon against China…
(the same virus somehow got into the US? 🤦♂️ Idk anymore, this world is so absurd with the assasination attempts, a convicted felon being elected president, and CEO getting shot, coup attempt in South Korea out of nowhere… I’m wondering if I’m in a dream/nightmare, its just bizzare…)

Which is funny since the Republican/conservative stance on the virus seemed to be “no big deal.”

Mao ordering the death of all sparrows, which then led to mass locust swarms eating all the crops, followed by mass starvation. Not his fault at all…

Um yea, tell that to my parents.
Their logic is:
Leader fuck up their leadership = Natural disaster
People with non-visible diseases (such as: Depression) not being able to fuctions properly = Laziness
