Choosing Senility Over Substance
American Thinker.com ^ | September 30, 2021 | Edward R. Zuckerbrod

At the height of the COVID-19 scare --- say, around March and April 2020 --- when the virus and its accompanying hysteria were at their apex, Democrats scored their most effective and damaging hits upon public confidence in President Trump’s pandemic leadership, the effects of which persisted clear through to the November election.

Their cynical, hurtful strategy was simple enough: Heap as much ridicule as necessary upon his determined efforts to produce safe and effective vaccines, while reserving special scorn for his attempts to identify as many viable therapeutic treatments as possible to serve as stopgaps until the vaccines were ready and beyond.

Admittedly, Mr. Trump sometimes aided those ignoble efforts at political derision by his undisciplined, stream-of-consciousness ruminations over how certain substances might work in the human body, or his inexplicable willingness to be sucked into pointless rows with the biased, partisan press corps. Also clearly counterproductive was his undisguised disdain for mask wearing, despite the legitimate, if overblown fears of ordinary people.

But Trump is Trump and he’ll always do it his way --- come what may. And those instances where Trump stepped on his own message or created a verbal shroud over his considerable managerial skill nevertheless can’t erase how much better off we all were with #45 calling the signals in comparison to today’s sclerotic leadership.

And lo and behold, despite the predictable Dem misdirection, the vaccines arrived just as Trump predicted, and the wisdom of concurrently pursuing effective treatments became crystal clear to anyone, subsequently vaccinated or not, who later contracted COVID.

As far as I’m concerned, a “red wave” or whatever they want to call it won’t be enough. Elections (even the non-fradulent ones) can no longer fix the fundamental problems. It looks increasingly like guns, tribunals and prisons will be needed.

I tend to agree as we move forward we have less options. They are not hearing us, they do not want to hear us they want us gone, hence why I believe they want everyone vaccinated, antibody or not, prophylactics banned, hospital ventilator, body bag is your only option, killing healthcare by firing employees who will not vax leaving hospitals unmanned. The next wave unleashed will set the stage for mass (genocide)depopulation because of it. call me crazy but the insanity that’s out there makes my crazy seem sane. My view

Almost reads as though a Never Trumper finally figured out that Trump was pretty damn good. Not sure if the author is a Never Trumper, but it seems written from that point of view.

And look how they ridiculed President Trump regarding the early treatment HCQ + azithromax + zinc.

And continue to ridicule (and try to ban) Ivermectin, in spite of it’s track record in India’s New Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Mexico City, South America, and Africa.
