How much of the pandemic is worth getting rid of Trump? Sounds hyperbolic, but it's not.
Nothing to do with policy (although there will be changes to that even now, as long as the changes can help with polling). If Woodward's tapes convince 1% of Trump's base that he's taking it seriously in his own life (which appears to be true) and half of those people rethink their own personal practices that reduces infections. And deaths. And long-COVIDs. With almost 200k dead the speculation is only how many. Rounding 0.1% down to zero ignores a couple hundred dead. And probably a $5B cost. So what's the right number?

That's one way to deal with cognitive dissonance, I guess. Today might be peak dissonance nationwide, so cope as you must. Curious to hear how the ditto-heads are going to approach it.

“It might have”
So some of you are seriously stooping to low as to blame the journalist for not getting the story out quick enough.
If only Woodward have run straight to the presses screaming this in April, what do you think would have happened?
Trump supporters would have suddenly demanded his impeachment? No-mask-holes would have suddenly realized the seriousness and donned masks? The GOo would have seen how craven And incompetent DJT is and impeached/removed him?
I’ll tell you: exactly nothing would have been different.

What did this word mean to you?
The world is not limited to false dichotomies. Even the most ardent Trumpet has to accept that Trump was in the wrong in order to "blame" Woodward for anything. Besides which, if Woodward doesn't get these recordings the whole thing only comes out even later, if at all. Woodward is a hero here. That doesn't make him perfect.
But like I said: we won't be able to discuss this honestly for at least a year. Maybe that's for the best, it's not like it changes anything now.

I hope this is true for the ones I know. If they'll admit they blame Woodward then I want to know what his information changes for them. That would be hopeful. I think they'll retreat to "lying was the right thing to do" pretty quick, though. I might need to brush up on the book of Revelations.

Agreed. The Trump supporters in my orbit are now saying that what "they've heard" is that this isn't a respiratory illness and that it's spread predominantly by touching surfaces. I asked where they're getting that from and there was no source that could be provided, but they said they heard it on "the news". Maybe FN or OAN.
Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that
