    I’ve waffled back and forth on it but every time Biden’s CDC says literally anything it pushes me back to this conclusion:

    Biden is objectively worse than Trump. While Trump was adversarial to the CDC, Biden has made the CDC totally capitulate despite pushing the exact same policies Trump wanted. When Trump said covid is no big deal his morons followed him but libs reflexively acted out against him by taking the pandemic somewhat seriously. When Biden does it, the complete rubes continue saying it’s not real as they always will, but now the libs go “It’s okay now daddy Biden said it’s over!”

    This is on top of the fact that under Biden we’ve lost the right to an abortion, and have arguably pushed closer to nuclear war than any time in the last 30 years

      Earlier this year Biden was involved in not just one but two superspreader events. One after the other...

      • The Gridiron dinner

      • The White House Correspondents' Dinner

      Libs nearly instantly forgot the first one. And then after the second one - they tightly memory holed both of them. For the most part - I gave up talking to them about Biden's covid response. Sometimes I just can't keep myself from writing something. But I always feel like a totally crazy person.

      On top of that everything they held at gunpoint to "Vote blue no matter who" like Roe V. Wade etc literally still got murdered even after sufficient rubes voted blue no matter. He also stopped mandatory reporting (or in Trumps words "if we test less cases will go down"), didn't continue stimulus checks (even the ones he promised in pre-election speeches), ended/severely reduced the unemployment benefit, increased military spending, increased police budgets, allowed 'leftover' pandemic stimulus to be diverted to police budgets, etc etc etc.

      I honestly didn't think I'd ever be in the "Biden was actually somehow worse than Trump" camp (not that I can vote anyway), but here the fuck I am. Don't get me wrong, I think Trump WANTED to be worse, I just don't think he was able to play the game.
