Unfortunately Mike's transformation from relatably awkward comedian to your suburban white mom's favorite NPR comedian was a long time coming but is now complete

"How could a country that started off by counting black people as property let Americans die???"

Gee idk Mike that's a toughie

"You're telling me the US government is just going to sit back and watch its own people die of an incredibly virulent and deadly illness???"

Yes I have Tuskegee on the phone, something about syphilis

Or, as a bunch of people in Mike's mentions have already pointed out, HIV/AIDS

Kind of an important one if you're a fan of historical context surrounding intentional mismanagement of pandemic response by theocratic fascists

Hey if this thread blows up I do have stuff to promote in my pinned tweet but other than that I'll just say stay home, keep learning, and depose Trump
