EmotionallyDrained 1 point 1 hour ago +1 / -0 If your country is at war, and there is no way you can stop all suffering and death but you can save most by sacrificing a "few," would you do it? Could you make that hard choice? Pray for him and all of us.
my reply:
NewbieQbie 1 point moments ago +1 / -0 he basically said as much. He was talking about which state to allow to house the Space Force headquarters and said it was tough choosing, but it had to be done. Then told the crowd something along the lines of "Do you think you could make the decision if you had to? Do you know how tough these things are?" If choosing where to put a military headquarters is tough, IMAGINE choosing to endorse or not endorse a vaccine you needed to facilitate to prevent permanent lockdown of society???
You don't address the important issue. There is a tremendous difference between not discouraging people taking the jab, and actively ENCOURAGING people to do it.
Trump is a master of words. He could have taken the former path by cleverly choosing his statements, appeared to be endorsing it to those who chose to see his words that way, and still accomplished everything you said. He didn't. He is actively pushing people to harm themselves in no uncertain terms. He is leaving no room for doubt of what he recommends you do. Those of us who wanted to save our parents and family, all of whom are Trump supporters, didn't even have a crack in his statement to try and work with.
Nobody ever wants to address this issue, and it is the only one that matters. Just watch how he answers media questions about running in 2024 and tell me he was too ignorant to apply those same oratory skills to questions about the jab.
This is the only thing that I've still yet to figure out. All this time he has been playing with words regarding the vax, and now seems to be coming straight out and saying it. I'm not really sure why, but if I had to take a crack at it, it would be there is no right answer so he has to appear to approve of it because the alternative is worse. There's no way possible he isn't aware of the videos of people suffering from them.
He has always emphasized it is and should be your choice. How many times did he say about the wall, "I should have said don't build the wall and they'd have that succer up in weeks." His endorsement is about as enthusiastic as mine would be for a liver only restaurant.
Mirror. Think mirror AND didn't Flynn's brother fo a tweet asking him to oppose vaccine? With all that's going on right now, that seems off. And he has said don't give it to kids or young people.
I am assuredly not an autist, but I think there's a lot for the geniuses to unpack here.
One of the few restaurants that could thrive in a Vax passport world. The all soy one would do well too.
And thats exactly what he did by emphasizing freedom of choice to take it or not.
No. That is different. If you are the kind of person that follows others, telling someone it is their choice is meaningless. They will follow whatever you tell them. The problem is that many of those noncritical thinkers are actually very good people. So Trump effectively pushed a lot of good, moral people to their death simply because they were not awake. You can claim (callously in my opinion) that these people deserve to die, but you can't make the argument that Trump bears no responsibility for it when everyone under the sun, including Trump, knew that this is exactly what would happen.
