OTHER side that bombs us. Bombing your own country isn’t likely to get many rally-round-the-flag votes, even from the MAGAts

Any lame brain thing he wants to do is met with yes, yes, yes. The potential for harm to others doesn't seem to be part of the equation.
They're all lapping up the lunacy and thinking themselves blessed to be near him or catch a view of him as he waves his little covid hand during the virus parade.
