March 16, 2020 was one of the darkest days in American history. It changed everything permanently for the worse.
It was ironically also the day that Trump ensured his own defeat in the 2020 election that year.
Without open federal support for these COVID lockdowns, there would have been no room for any swing states to change the mail in ballot laws.
States run their own elections entirely. They wanted mail-in, they got it.
Even if there weren't federal programs to pay for rent and support lockdowns, even if the democrat controlled states didn't lock down, they still would have done mail-in "because covid" when their real motive was "anything to stop Trump".
Many swing states like AZ and GA had GOP governors and also GOP state legislatures and states like WI and PA had GOP majority in the state legislatures.
No fucking way they could push mail in ballot changes if they didn't have the federal COVID guidelines as cover to do so.
Trump could have prevented most of these mail in ballot changes if he just resisted the urge to listen to Fauci and Birx.
He was afraid of the media roasting him.
This poor decision cost him and the country dearly.
They were never-Trumpers though, they wanted Trump gone.
What specifically could the Federal government have done to prevent those states from doing mail-in elections?
You will call anyone a never Trumper to absolve Trump of any responsibility.
The AZ, GA, WI, PA legislatures are not fully comprised of never-Trumpers.
This is the biggest copout I have seen in a while.
Trump could have fired Fauci and Birx and got a competent public health scientist like Jay Bhattacharya instead to issue alternate guidance.
GOP states only locked down because the GOP President recommended it.
It stings your dick to accept reality that Trump is responsible for screwing himself and the country over.
You should cool your TDS, its really not helping. Right wing Obama also locked down Florida.
I am so sick of Trump cultists like you calling any criticism of their hero as TDS.
Learn to accept reality.
Learn to accept the reality of a hypothetical? Federal did support lockdowns, and you're reality is based on "what if they didn't". You've got a theory, not a reality.
You are denying the reality that allowing federal guidelines calling for lockdowns sealed Trump's fate.
It is not a theory. They would never be able to implement mass mail in ballot changes without the federal guidelines as cover.
You refuse to accept that Trump made a dire mistake and he and the country paid a heavy price for it.
There is no theorizing here. It is clear what actually happened and it is clear what could have changed things.
Yet you react the same way they do about DeSantis
You have zeal much closer approaching a cultist than any pro Trump poster on this board. I agree with many of your points, but when I see yet another raving anti Trump or pro DeSantis post or comment, I give the same eye roll when I notice the username is yours as I do when I see a post ranting about women and see that it's Imp. And you have the nerve to flip shit calling anyone who offers even slight pushback an orange man cultist.
