I think I'm the most upset with the COVID virus.

We could have been rid of Trump in October 2020. Biden's election would have been even more resounding. No election denial. No January 6. No one for the most toxic elements and people in Republican land to coalesce around. No one to energize R's from 2020-2024. No one to enable Musk and the techbros to this extent. A likely Democratic presidency in 2024.

Dammit, COVID, you had one job.

It would have saved countless lives that were lost due to COVID denial.

I was happy and felt it would be poetic justice. Maybe karma is getting me now. Yet he lived and thrived with medical care we pay for

He would have been easily re-elected if not for COVID. He was riding the wave of Obama’s economic recovery. In fact, if had a shred of competence, he would have been re-elected after the pandemic (a real politician would have used it to their advantage - “We’re at war with this virus.”)

I'm mad at COVID for not finishing the job on him specifically.

Reports have surfaced that his case was really severe, and his weight and age put him in the most vulnerable category. If he didn't have access to the best healthcare in the world, he probably doesn't make it.

I had hoped so much that Covid would take out the trash.
