Yep. No one wants to admit it is the McConnells of the world who caused all of this. Their job as the "opposition party" is to represent their voters and oppose the Dems. To stand with their President. They did not and do not do that. Instead, they attacked Trump for common sense things like not wearing a mask and not wanting to close things down. It's easy to forget that Trump did not want those things. But, his own party and administration sided with the Dems b/c they are indistinguishable from the Dems in every way and wanted to destroy Trump's presidency. Trump also wasn't President when the worst lockdowns and mandates were done. Despite how it played out in the end, given the messaging and knowledge at the time, it was also good sense to try to develop a treatment. How it was then deployed was insane, but Trump didn't do that.
Plus, Presidents are not omnipotent. Their powers are intentionally restricted in our system. It's not like he could just say "no masks, no lockdowns, no vaccines, stop being afraid" and that would happen. Which also points out that a lot of this tragedy falls on fearful Americans as well, always voting for and demanding "safety" over freedom and personal responsibility.
And therein lies the problem. The RINO Republican Party are fellow travelers with the Bolsheviks. Trump may be the Republican ticket but that will be only because of the American people. He is an outsider to the RINOs and they hate him.
