wasn't he suggesting we "ride it out" as recently as last week?
Yes.
We lit.
Well, gaslit.

Why can't people play his own quotes back to him, and then ask him to follow up?
His base is a cult. You're not going to convince them. It's independents that will matter most. His base is not that big.
How hard is it to just play a video or just pull up one of his tweets from a couple weeks ago? Like, it's right there. Plain as day.
then cnn and nbc will show it while fox wont. and if fox doesnt show it it didnt happen for his base.I meant like actually play it back, like a recording. I don't think I've ever seen him listen to himself speak these lies and answer directly to them. I mean yeah, I'm sure he'd do the same bullshit but at least his own falsities in voice form would get more coverage.
I don't think his base can even process it. If you play it back for them, their brains will literally reinterpret it, and they'll laugh at you as they point out they can clearly hear him saying, "This is real, Democrats, why are you stopping me?!?"
I think they rewrite reality, in real-time, to make sure that whatever they believe is all they see and hear.
We're already seeing his base eat this up. The democrats will do a shitty job with their counter messaging.
Dems should. It's why Donald is President and not Hillary.
"People like you are still living in what we call the reality-based community. You believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality. That's not the way the world really works anymore. We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you are studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors, and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."
This... so much of this! WTF... I can't wrap my head around this...Then name the people in your administration you wanted you to do nothing and fire them.
If you, the head of your administration, is hiring and paying staff that are advising you to make decisions that result in millions dead against your own judgement, then fire them. Not firing them -- as the chief executive -- makes you complicit in their decision making.
Anecdotal but I have multiple hardcore Trump supporters at work that were talking about how he has fucked up his response today and that they originally thought it was a hoax due to him (and "the media").
Let's see how this plays out in the long run.
His rambling recalibration after he said "two million people could have died and nobody would have done anything" was surreal. I'm paraphrasing but I'm new mischaracterizing at all -- He basically on live TV, talked himself out of thinking "nobody would be doing anything about it" as he slowmo "realized" in real time that "well maybe they'd have to do something because people would be dropping dead all over the place... How many dead people have we seen [almost none] but with two million you'd see loads of them [and have to do something I suppose] "

His base didn't win him the election, a small number of independents in the right states did. You will never win any of his base, they're fanatics, and they're not enough alone to win anything.Dems should. It's why Donald is President and not Hillary.
All they have to do if focus on reaching 1% of his base. He lost Wisconsin, Michigan and PA by around 75k votes. Most of his base is going to be absolutely brain dead but if you can flip a few of them, or just make sure no one wastes their vote on COVID-19 or Tiger King, then we won't have to suffer 4 more years.
I'm impressed to hear this actually. Why are they admitting there was a discrepancy in what was being said then and now, rather than just insisting that what was said now has always been said and that print, video and other documented evidence was somehow fabricated?
Has he actually even done anything yet? I've only seen Mayors and Governors taking action.
