"People aren't so easy to fool"

Yes they are lol.

"I wonder if the resistance to trying hydroxychloroquine is at least in part because some people secretly wish for the virus to continue killing people so they can blame Trump for it"

Case in point right here. What a ridiculous claim. Your mind is already made up so you'll believe what you want. That's just the reality of post-truth. Not what is being said but who is saying it and in what narrative of power dynamics are they saying it.

These "I'm independent but..." comments are absurd. I'm not sure what apologizing for one of the worst presidents of all time gets you, and he certainly doesn't need your sympathy and defense. He's the most powerful person in the world, so just remember the power dynamics at play here.
