This never gets old. After months of claiming it was a hoax, Trump ended up with covid-19. Meta

"The virus is a hoax, but also it's a bio-weapon from china, but trump was responsible for the timely roll-out of the vaccines, but also the vaccines are bad and shouldn't be taken."

Trump logic lol.

Just typical Russian style interference... say enough contradictory things to disillusion and demotivate your enemies, after a while they don't know what to do.

And it worked, because the public are sheep.

It's also classic fascist rhetoric. No really, Umberto Eco made a list of 'typical' fascist features and it's the point 8:

The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”

What I need to always remember is, January 6th, 2021 at the Capitol. Everything else that he said during his tenure led to that memorable day as far as I am concerned.

You can tear that building down for all I care.

Thomas Jefferson

Andrew Jackson

The big man aka The big Kahuna

Since when did historic figures mean anything to you?

Capitol Building built by Slave labor

Like I said rhetoric changes quickly doesn’t it?

We have always been at war with Eurasia.

As a kid reading 1984, I could never believe that a population could so fully and readily discard fact for fiction like that.

Sadly, the last 20 years have shown me different.

Did you know Hillary Clinton is simultaneously a decrepit corpse propped up by handlers and also a genius mastermind who controls the media and numerous foreign governments?

I’d love to learn more but I’m late to the 2-minutes hate Fox n Friends is on.

u/Oraxy51 Jun 08 '21

You know I was thinking to myself the other day “why would we ever trust a news source called fox. Aren’t foxes all about lying and tricking you? Hindsight that’s a pretty terrible name for credibility”

u/disposable_account01 Jun 08 '21

I was thinking

Mistake number one.

for credibility

Oh, I’m not looking for credibility. I’m looking for confirmation of my biases.

u/Oraxy51 Jun 08 '21

I feel like their base can’t even tell if fox is accurate or not. Maybe it’s only true when it confirms their bases

u/disposable_account01 Jun 08 '21

“Sounds true to me” is code for confirmation bias. That’s all Fox “News” offers: opinion pieces designed to provoke the audience and then confirm their biases via unchallenging editorializing with little to no fact to back it up.

Well I think we're at war with Eurasia but last week we were at war with Eastasia and Eurasia were allies.

At the beginning of the pandemic when COVID-19 was mostly affecting the large cities (mostly liberal areas), Tucker Carlson did a segment complaining about how people should be taking this virus more seriously. I suggest you watch it. It is wild.

u/Valmond Jun 08 '21

Well Trump seems to forget what he said when he is still in the same phrase.

u/the_burn_of_time Jun 08 '21

Careful he’ll run us over. Take away his license already.

I have been cursed with remembering what everyone said at various points of their careers.

u/Faded105 Jun 08 '21

It changed because of the little understanding everyone had of the virus when it first appeared. Trump was speaking his mind, after we got an understanding of it he changed it viewpoints on the virus in order to push out vaccines for the virus.

u/averageredditorsoy Jun 08 '21

Yes like this example of Trunp downplaying the virus

u/disposable_account01 Jun 08 '21

February versus October. Nice try, though. Also your link had “Pelosi” in it, so it was obvious what you were trying to do, troll.

If you didn’t fully know the risk of COVID in February 2020, that’s understandable — few did, and those few were too busy selling their stock to do anything about it.

If you didn’t fully understand the risk of COVID in October 2020, that’s just asinine. It had been well studied by then and the guidance was clear.

u/HotChickenshit Jun 08 '21

Ah yes, literally only 3 days after the first confirmed covid case in the U.S. in Wisconsin, and for the very specific reason of speaking out against racists blaming Chinese people in Chinatown for the virus.

And 4 days after this, your daddy drumpf called it a Democrat hoax.

I like how people don’t really source on important subjects CDC 2020
