Two nights ago, @TuckerCarlson acknowledged the severity of the coronavirus....even stating "some people you voted for have lied" about the severity (he& #39;s too much of a coward to actually name Trump)...but the noticeable strategy was to brand the virus as the "China virus".....1/ https://twitter.com/LeftyMob/status/1238055917775618048">https://twitter.com/LeftyMob/...
This exposes the Right& #39;s strategy to excuse/cover up Trump& #39;s incompetence:
Step 1.Trump and the Right wing echo chamber politicize a scientific/medical issue in order to martyrize Trump and demonize his political opponents……..2/ https://twitter.com/Nick_Carmody/status/1233769152625573888">https://twitter.com/Nick_Carm...

Step 3.When the facts on the ground become so incompatible that the alternate reality is pierced, the Right goes in deny, deflect, and redirect mode:….4/
Step 4.Trump and the Right Wing echo chamber deny (gaslight) any previous existence of Trump’s/their lies and mockery (Gaetz’s gasmask) of the virus when the possibility of containment existed….5/ https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/04/politics/gaetz-coronavirus-gas-mask/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/0...
Step 5.Trump and the Right Wing echo chamber deflect all accountability (Trump’s or theirs) for the petulant, self-serving incompetence that contributed to the severity of the outbreak…....6/
Step 6.And then Trump and the Right Wing echo chamber redirect the focus of the virus by branding it the “China Virus”, which, by scapegoating “others”/foreigners, not only absolves them of any responsibility for their incompetence in allowing the virus to spread, but….7/
….by branding it the “China Virus”, there’s actually a benefit of, if not an incentive structure for, the virus decimating the U.S…b/c the worse the country is hit, the more a demagoguing sociopathic narcissist can stoke racist/isolationist fears against “others”/foreigners…8/
…..which will make the election not about Trump’s incompetence and dangerousness,....and the Republican Party’s sycophantic/cowardly impotence in containing him……but about needing to double down on Trump’s authoritarian “protection” of the country….9/ https://twitter.com/Nick_Carmody/status/1109033602740682753">https://twitter.com/Nick_Carm...
