He's a successful African-American
It's because of the recent SCOTUS ruling.
He had to publicly appear to be on the "pro-vax" side to give political cover for his 3 SCOTUS appointments to rule against the government in the OSHA case. Now that they've ruled, he can pivot away from "pro-vax."
Imagine the ammo this would have given to the leftists if he had come out as "antivax" at any point prior to the ruling. There would have been 2 equally bad outcomes: 1) his 3 SCOTUS appointments would have had to rule in favor of the government to not appear as puppets of Trump, or 2) they would have ruled against the government anyway, and the leftists would then declare them puppets of Trump and either impeach them or pack the court with additional justices.
By appearing "pro-vax" before the ruling, all the leftists can do is Reeee about the ruling.
I'd also note that Trump hasn't gone full "antivax" here. He's only challenging the vax for kids and the mandates, and he's promoting therapeutics. These are the least controversial aspects of the COVID situation across the political spectrum. In other words, he's building a big tent.
I feel like I want to deck someone every time I go to Walmart.
Don't do it, fren. The leftists want to paint the unmasked and unvaxxed as dangerous, and decking one of them would feed right into that narrative. It'd likely spread through the media too.
Well, both can't be true:
- The Bible is the infallible word of God
- People with Down syndrome are without sin
The only sinless man to ever exist is Jesus Christ.
You may want people with Down syndrome to be completely innocent, but what you want doesn't determine reality.

You're right, that is an offensive statement toward people with Down syndrome.
But having Down syndrome does not make one incapable of evil thoughts:
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 3:23 ESV
The Bible is clear that all men, including those with Down syndrome, are guilty of sin. Sin is evil. And sinful actions begin with sinful thoughts.
The only hope is in Jesus Christ.
It's so much deeper
We need to turn back to God on everything. Abortion is largely just a consequence of fornication (which is sex before marriage). Fornication is a consequence of loose morals, such as living with your unmarried significant other and allowing horny teenagers and young adults to have alone time. And that's a consequence of the the entertainment industry pushing sex everywhere. And that's a consequence of adults paying for that entertainment.
That's just abortion, you can do the same thing for just about every one of society's problems.
The solution is always the same:
Jesus
How improved would our society be if people didn't engage in sex outside of marriage? And if no one paid for the smut coming out of Hollywood?
You can't get there without Jesus.
how should patriots react?
What would Jesus do?
That is how we should react. Satan is the great deceiver, and he's deceived many into the bondage of sin. How did Jesus react to sinners? He treated them with truth, compassion, mercy, and grace. (Mercy being defined as withholding the punishment they deserved, and Grace being defined as giving unmerited favors.)
