    In medicine it doesn’t help the patient if the cure is worse than the disease. The question should be, would people be willing to take the cure if the chance for survival were fifty fifty. I’m neither a rightest or leftist, but you are correct Trump is a symptom of society in the same way a covid vaccine can protect ninety nine percent, sure that’s speaking bad news for the one percent but as far as numbers to lives go three hundred thousand deaths could have been prevented. If it takes ninety nine percent survival statistics to save lives, imagine applying the model to politics in general. So what if the one percent dies out, good riddance to social moralism.

    The difference between Trump and Biden?

    – Trump sells snake oil as a business.
    – Biden promotes the truth backed by facts.

    It’s your coin heads or tails, choice to vote or not to vote.

    To go to the moon or not to go to the moon.
