We have some of the worst Covid outcomes in the world, let alone the developed world. You seriously don't think the prior administration could have done more to preserve life?
I don't think someone with responsibility to solve the issue should be lobbing grenades to save their own ass. I also don't think there was much difference between how Trump handled it and how the democrats would have
Really? I'm pretty sure a hypothetical Democratic administration (or literally any other Republican presidential candidate for that matter) wouldn't have flaunted gathering, masking, and distancing recommendations multiple, multiple times during the height of the pandemic (remember when Trump was bad enough he had to go get experimented on at Walter Reed because of that?). I'm also pretty sure they wouldn't have deliberately downplayed the virus, questioned the necessity of testing, or jumped on every quack "cure" that popped up.
Would they have made mistakes? Absolutely. Would they have resulted in such a massive mess and failure? Extremely doubtful.
