Step 1: Accept that your country might be trash.
Step 2: Realize you’re part of the problem.
Step 3: Stop loving America so damn much.
Now that I’ve slept on this, I have mixed feelings. Overall, I’m doing the schadenfreudiest dance I’ve ever fucking done, but I have some thoughts.
This is SUPER conveniently timed to allow him to have to call off from the next debate without having to seem like he’s backing down or refusing to participate. If he ends up getting through this with only mild symptom, I’ll have some serious suspicion that this may be fake. (Like 1% suspicion. I know other people all around him are also testing positive, so I try to keep conspiracy brain in check.)
The best case scenario for this is probably that he have a severe case that doesn’t kill him but causes lasting major health problems that force the VP and cabinet to invoke the 25th A. (Death is too likely to get sympathy for Pence and the GOP. Too many stupid people have this bullshit “don’t speak ill of the dead” idea, even when the dead did quite a lot of ill.)
Yes. I don’t believe it. The timing is far too perfect — right after a horrendous performance at the first debate, his tax corruption is finally released? Nah. His modus operandi is to deflect, and look how well it’s working. He will likely have a miraculous cure (no doubt created by a company owned by family) and save the world, win the election, and then be able to denounce COVID once and for all. He almost deserves props.
