Strongmen are the Weakmen of the world when shit gets real


Graphic mine

You can’t gaslight a pandemic, but you can gaslight the fucking idiots who still think your shit doesn’t stink. You can wind them up so much that they will literally cough in the face of someone because they are wearing a face mask, that they will protest health care workers, cause, why not? They will stand in defiance of the facts and blame it all on the ‘enemy’, risking their health and life to own the libs. And the saddest part of it all is that the strongmen during this crisis have demonstrated that while they are happy to use their sycophants for their own purposes, they also expect them to be willing to die to meet their needs.

Congressman Ami Bera said last week ‘’You can’t control a virus. You can only control how you respond to it.” And good grief, across the world strongmen have proven that when the shit hits the fan they are utterly incompetent in managing a crisis. All of them. Every single one has failed in their duties to their citizens.

Weakmen indeed.
