Trump’s disinfectant moment damaged him so greatly because it was such an easy to understand, indefensible act of foolery.
It wasn’t an “erosion of norms” or some nuanced act Fox News could spin.
This was something that everyone at any level of knowledge could see was dumb af.

I think a lot of pundits often wonder how Trump has been able to maintain support after one derpaved act after another, but it’s pretty simple.
The economy was doing well and A LOT of people were largely tuned out - more than many journalists realize.
They’re not anymore.

When COVID-19 hit, folks craved accurate information. When they all finally tuned in, they saw a madman masquerading as POTUS.
The years of media critiques against Trump that once seemed esoteric were suddenly real as they saw him mishandle something that could get them killed.

Before COVID-19, it was easy for a lot of people unaffected by Trump’s incompetence to laugh off his idiocy.
When a global pandemic hit that was so clearly mishandled by him, it was no longer funny.

Bottom line: anyone who has been sleepwalking through this presidency while the media and tuned in Americans yelled about Trump’s hallowing out of government, eroding norms, and discrediting institutions suddenly realize it’s all true and it’s the reason we’re in this situation.
It wasn’t a fuzzy moral issue which the right doesn’t care about because depravity runs rampant there.
It wasn’t a lie or policy issue, which the right is programmed to spin.
It was literally advocating something that you tell you kids not to do when they’re a baby.

That is why you’re seeing this disinfectant moment not just on news but on tik toks and meme pages.
This hit all ages groups and demographics.
That’s why it was the straw that broke the propaganda briefings’ back.
The president is a moron, and everyone knows it.
End rant.
