Ok, so last night I made a thread of using ableism as a strategy for talking about #TrumpHasCovid that will inevitably backfire on liberals, leftists and democrats.

Since then I have been saving GOOD EXAMPLES of communication around it threaded here:

THREAD:
The framing of Trump’s diagnosis as a result of his consistent recklessness even endangering the lives of those trying to protect him: https://twitter.com/travisakers/status/1312190500904951808">https://twitter.com/travisake...
Framing his access to healthcare around the fact that all citizens should have that level of care regardless of income: https://twitter.com/coribush/status/1312113790196965376">https://twitter.com/coribush/...
Keeping accurate track of the diagnosis of others in the Trump circle that have denied the severity of the virus, contributed to its spread to keep in line with Trump propaganda: https://twitter.com/ap/status/1312197275989360640">https://twitter.com/ap/status...
Keeping track of the families in Trumps orbit, many with children that have been subjected to this harmful and deadly virus to keep in line with Trump and his desire to politicize the virus: https://twitter.com/leahmcelrath/status/1312207785145233409">https://twitter.com/leahmcelr...
Keeping track of how republicans have also individually endangered the public and violated policies potentially harming hundreds of citizens: https://twitter.com/startribune/status/1312203213374803969">https://twitter.com/startribu...
Complete incompetence matched only by craven secrecy leading to the super spreader event. https://twitter.com/shaneharris/status/1312219578634772481">https://twitter.com/shaneharr...
Keeping the diagnosis of Hicks (and Trump) secret endangering another presidential candidate and throwing the government and constitution into turmoil just a month before an election: https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1312226880557375489">https://twitter.com/thehill/s...
Noting just general hypocrisy and mistrust of science: https://twitter.com/yamiche/status/1312248972904484864">https://twitter.com/yamiche/s...
Oh also, conservative cultists still criticizing masks despite trumps diagnosis. https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/1312223469199740929">https://twitter.com/Acyn/stat...
And trump exposed medically vulnerable people: https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/1312419958878502912">https://twitter.com/chrislhay...
