(13,180 posts)It's like I said from the beginning. Trump failed to lead America in getting average covid results. He lead us into trailing the pack, letting people die, keeping the economy stalled. But because he's Trump, he simply redefined his failure as success. Then he doubled down on his "successful" practices, his very doubling down giving an err of confidence and winning, even as he stood in a pile of bodies.
There's nothing the true Trumpian Republican can do that will result in them questioning their own approach. Their success is unfalsifiable in their own minds, not because it's incapable of rational disproof, but because they admit no mechanism of accepting rational disproof. Not questioning their own approach is rule one of their approach.
The best that can be done is to deprogram some Trumpians and to defeat the rest soundly at the ballot box while we still can.
