Ya a Republican will be blamed for AIDS and not doing enough to fight AIDS.
I still bitterly remember how Reagan was blamed for AIDS. He was blamed for not having compassion for AIDS victims. He was savaged by liberals for not doing enough R & D work with pharmaceuticals to come up with AIDS drugs.
Reagan was blamed for not making AIDS a higher priority among diseases being researched by NIH and other government agencies.
Yet Reagan did NOT once compel anyone to perform the risky activities which spread HIV and AIDS. Yet he got the blame for the spread of the disease. This logic only makes sense to liberals.
Of course there was no blame for the bath house owner who could have closed down the bathhouses and somewhat halted the spread.
