Hahaha, I love it….
Did you notice that the Imperial College study that predicted up to 2 million American deaths, in its worse case models, was the study that Trump and his team decided they would use as their guideline on how to respond to the virus? And that they announced they would use its findings as their guide. When they made that announcement, were they fear mongering? By your interpretation, yes, Trump and company were fear mongering. Just a wild guess, but I’ll bet the White House adopting the Imperial College study, its dire warnings, and announcing they took the findings seriously, would have a greater impact on the American public than Red posting to a sports forum.
In hindsight, it’s all on the record. On this forum, only one person expressed being frightened by the Imperial College report. Only one person kept calling the posting of that report a form of fear mongering, even though the Trump team embraced that very report, and told the public. You were that person who kept expressing how frightened he was. If only you had someone, anyone, in your life, who could have held your hand and eased your fear when you most needed to be comforted.
We’re you that terrified of dying? Are you the cowardly lion? Do you not know that no man knows the time and place, and that nobody escapes alive?
Why were you even scared at all? If 2 million Americans had died, what were the odds that you would die from Covid? At any rate, don’t you know the only thing you have to fear is fear itself? The choice to be afraid is your’s alone, and you chose to be afraid, very afraid. And yet, here you are, alive and well.
So, Trump was fear mongering is the conclusion born of your logic. Well yes, actually, that is exactly what he is. From the day he descended the escalator in Trump Tower and told us all to be very afraid of Mexicans. That’s what demagogues do. Find what scares people, create scapegoats, and use that fear to best advantage. Again and again and again Trump has appealed to the fear in the hearts of his followers.
And you did the same on this forum. Reminded us again and again that the study would scare people. And by stating as much over and over and over, you were in fact scare mongering. All I did was publish a scientific study used by the White House. On the other hand, there you were, actively working to scare forum members, actively telling them over and over that the report was scary, lol. ! Isn’t it funny how that works? The people who complain the loudest about the behavior of others are the very people most likely to commit that very behavior. And so you did, and continue to do.
