The funny thing is when you talk about politicizing a crisis, everyone
thinks you're talking about someone else but not them. It's everyone and
it always will be.
Every elected person has to address every situation with the mentality
of "what will voters want me to do?". Or perhaps, "what do I want
voters to think I'm doing?" If they didn't do that they wouldn't be
re-elected. We all, in theory, want our politicians to do the right
thing and tell the truth about it, but in reality they're going to do
what they think their voters want, or if they can't then they'll try to
tell them what they want to hear. We can't expect anything other than
politics from politicians. When someone gets a job by winning a
popularity contest they're going to be somewhat narcissistic to begin
with. The ones who keep the job the longest are the ones with the most
narcissistic tendencies because they'll have the greatest skill at
deflecting, equivocating, and outright BS'ing.
I hope this doesn't count as a lent issue. I'm not naming any persons
or parties and it's more of an indictment of electoral processes in
general. The problem of course is that every other method is worse.

If aliens landed in a mars attacks style, if would become partisan

If Jesus appeared walking across the sea, helping fishermen gather a
catch, PETA and Greenpeace would be filing injections.

Didn't your governor procure PPE stuff in stealth mode to keep FEMAs
hands from stealing these supplies? That doesn't inept to me, Steve.

I’ll be interested to see the overall death rates for the US
during this time. I suspect that they will be down from their
usual levels, overall, even with the virus.

Sobering to see that we have passed the number of the US
servicemen deaths in the Korean war and will probably pass
Vietnam before we are done. All in a few short months.
