Because America is a leader in the world that other countries look to for guidance, we bear great responsibility in the world. Our President, through his denying of the severity of Covid-19, attempts to convince people it is just a cold, that it will go away, in his and his administrations complete lack of preparedness despite being warned in 2018 that pandemic flu was the greatest health emergency has put our country and much of the world at risk. He is therefore complicit in every Covid-19 flu death that happens in the US and in the rest of the world. This is true whether a few hundred die or millions die.
Every sitting Republican Senator (with the exception of Mitt Romney) who did not remove him from office 5 weeks ago, is also complicit and responsible. Every attorney who defended him, every house member who did not vote to impeach him are all complicit. Every Republican who has bowed down to him in the face of his gross incompetence is complicit. Every member of his administration, even those who left beforehand or who were fired, every Secretary of… who has not moved to remove him from office are all complicit. Every Fox News pundit, every conservative host who has said this was a Democratic hoax. If millions die, all those who would have been saved if we had a competent President and administration all already have blood on their hands. If millions die across the world, that genocide is on all of their hands all that blood and pain and despair, they own it. Let us not forget, they were told in 2018 this could happen. There were plans in place to deal with it. That team was fired. The CDC is woefully understaffed due to his cuts. Many 100s if not 1000s of government positions that could help deal with this are not filled. Entire scientific teams have been fired. The President’s credibility, the thing a government needs the most in a time of crisis is nonexistent (as they even now continue to clarify his statements from last night’s address). Anyone of the republican candidates for the Presidency in 2016 could have done a better job then this clown. The fact they did not drop out and have one of their members become THE candidate also means they are all complicit. Years from now, I hope to see them all tried by the world court for their roles in every death that could have been prevented.
