Why do Republicans think this stupid argument absolves Trump of anything?
Republicans are still trying to excuse Donald Trumps deadly mismanagement of the coronavirus pandemic. As such, theyve fixated on the lab leak theory of the virusthat the Chinese either deliberately or accidentally released the virus from a lab in Wuhan.

Remember, nothing is ever Trumps fault. It was the medias fault. It was the Democrats fault. And now, its Chinas fault. If only China hadnt leaked that virus, people wouldnt have turned against Trump. Or, so Lindsey Graham and MAGA nation believes.
Except, distressingly enough, the pandemic didnt much change any minds about Trump, and, even if the lab leak (conspiracy?) theory is true, it would paint Trump in even a worse light:
Its one thing to be unprepared for an unforeseen natural disaster. Its another to be attacked by a foreign adversary and fail to protect our nation. In other words, if Graham and Trump are right, then Trump didnt keep us safe.

(6,558 posts)Yes, and it is happening in current time. I watched my sister and middle brother go from sane, calm, rational people to insane spittal producing tRump zealots in 5+ years. I don't fully understand it, and to be honest, I hope never do!

It's been an uphill battle, but a growing majority of the electorate is coming to the point where the GOP, if it can't shake Trump, loses its position as the "other" major party.
