Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

He was hired to take revenge on the medical industry because Covid embarrassed Trump and probably caused him to lose the election.
I was so worried that covid would be the ultimate excuse for him to rally people over his failing policies and crashing economy (we were heading to depression / crash before covid!) Then he fucked up the easiest handout of public good and caused millions to needlessly die.
Well you see he thought people in "blue cities" would be the ones to die and was 100% ok with that.
Yup. He was hired to take orders, not do good.
Which is crazy because for any sane president, covid amounted to serving up the election on a silver platter.
"Follow the guidance of the scientists and we'll all get through this together." would have gotten him north of 65% of the total votes, and probably near the Reagan/Mondale level of electoral college victory.
