I’m not so sure about this. In the early stages, it was a problem for foreigners and city libtards, and now you want us God-fearing Real Americans to inconvenience ourselves and question our natural strength and purity? Really? And put VACCINES in our sacred bodies?

Trump got booed when he told the rabble a few days ago to get vaccinated. Now the obvious rejoinder is that the inmates are now running the asylum and don’t listen to anyone anymore, but I don’t think you can assume that wasn’t true a year and a half ago. Trump is a skilled conman (his only skill), but he was always taking the MAGAts where they wanted to go because he is one of them, only rich and famous. He understands them and can talk to them because he’s a bitter old white racist who watches FOX News, just like them.

So if he had somehow gone against his programming and tried this, I think he would have been booed down then too and quickly shifted gears to the shitshow we ended up with.

The insanity he coddled is dynamic. The RW nutcases could have been led to the correct attitude early-on. (Most of them sent their kids to schools that required an array of pediatric vaxxes, and those who were ex-military got shot up against everything they might encounter.) Once he chose dipshittery, they elaborated it and sanctified it.
