As dumb as it is, it’s all about Trump’s makeup
The entire right-wing response to covid, up to and including that Florida judge, has been a defensive reaction to Trump’s initial mishandling of the pandemic
A corollary to this: the entire ideological debate over masking has its origins in Trump not wanting to wear them because they’d smear his orange makeup.
I am not being hyperbolic, our world is really this stupid.
Yes, yes it is.
