Now that Trump has declared war on us, it's time for the gloves to come off
We've been holding back while this crisis developed, giving him room to do the right thing, with only very mild criticism, compared to what he deserved.
But now? It's time to pull out all the stops, to ramp up the Bloomberg money machine and anti-Trump ads, and just plaster this country with the raw, unvarnished truth about this monster.
This isn't just politics, its life and death.
To start, a truth campaign needs to blast out the message that HE ALONE OWNS THIS DISASTER.
He had time. He could have mobilized all of the machinery at his disposal to create as much PPE as we needed. Testing could have been running at full capacity. Contact tracings would have minimized the need to shut the whole economy down. We could have been prepared! WE COULD HAVE BEEN PREPARED!! We all knew for 3 months now what was happening. WE KNEW! He chose to not do anything. That is now on him!
Why did we have to resort to these measures? Because when it was still just one guy in Washington state who had returned from China, before Trump allowed the cruise passengers to return here, before the HHS people without PPE interacted with them at Travis AFB, before this thing got out of control here -- WE KNEW. We were watching China intently, we knew.
But at every possible point where he could have taken consequencial action, he declined. Yes, he stopped flights from China, that was good, but then he welcomed the virus in the backdoor and then neglected to contain it.
THIS IS ALL ON HIM!
Everyone has been cutting him slack on this, hoping that he'd take strong measures now, so criticism of him has been very light, compared to what he deserved. And during severe crises like this, people generally hold back out of a sense of unity in calamity.
But after today, I hope the gloves come off, and the facts are laid bare for all to see over and over and over, until it's clear to EVERYONE: that this is ALL on him! The economic and human tragedy, all his.
Shove it in his face and make him OWN it!!
It didn't have to go this way.
