Trump really is the biggest piece of shit to ever be called president.

He's basically condemned any future COVID-19 victims in America with his own petty incompetence.

If America's justice system wasn't so fucked up, Trump would be in prison for being an accessory to mass murder.

yeah, I read that and...hoo boy. Talk about breaking your nose to spite your face (I think that's the phrase). 

Look, republicans and conservatives of America, I get it. I do. Fiscal responsibility and tradition are important. You like your religion and your guns way too much, and [redacted comment about how it seems an awful lot of conservatives are pretty obviously racist], but like, there comes a time when you gotta realize that, as the phrase possibly goes, he's just hurting America by completely failing at diplomacy. 

You're on a broken leg kicking the doctors trying to help you because you don't like their skin colour. 

Trump's narcissism is legendarily stupid. He cares so much about the percieved image of he and the rest of america being 'strong' that he won't even help the WORLD health organization develop a vaccine to put an end to the global pandemic because it might help Chinese people.

Seriously, how can anyone pretend this, paired with 'build that wall' and 'shithole countries' and 'they're sending rapists and thugs' and 'putting mexican kids in cages' and the muslim country ban ISN'T blatant racism and bigotry and xenophobia? I have to dance around my words to not call anyone racist for fear of being banned when the cheeto nazi LITERALLY campaigned on a platform of bigotry and exclusion? I can't say any one person is racist unless I know them, but based on the way their leaders act, the people that support them, the campaign promises that resonate, and shit like this, it's fair to say that - at the very least - a whole lot of conservatives are super duper okay with racism if they get what they want and can send a middle finger to China, the middle east, mexico, and africa.

I know it isn't nice to say and I'll get a lot of kickback, but that's where the evidence points, and this thing with the vaccine is the latest in a long line of conservative americans blatantly saying 'Fuck this country, too!'

Seriously. How is any of this conscionable? How can any of you even begin to justify any of this? How can anyone possibly be so shortsighted and stupid to NOT see this as the remarkably stupid, ignorant, selfish, dumbass, moronic decision that it is? I'm not even sure I want to hear the responses I'll get because they'll all be so, SO very bad and devoid of logic and reason and sympathy and compassion and be shortsighted and blind and tone deaf. I feel like I'm shouting in the void and the void is crying back 'hyuck, america first, motherfucker'

**Edit** IT's not even America First anymore, it's "ONLY AMERICA AND FUCK EVERYONE ELSE". I get the idea that you gotta look out for number 1 first. You can't help others before you help yourself, but that's not what this is. this is 'we help ourselves....and fuck the rest of y'all'
