[Not all of us] have lost our sense of proportion

It seems I spoke a day too late. From HuffPost:

Activists laid body bags outside the White House Wednesday evening to protest … Trump and Republican officials' catastrophic response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The demonstration started with a mock 200-car funeral procession beginning at the residence of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, passing by the Capitol building, and ending at the White House, where demonstrators dumped body bags onto the sidewalk…. Religious leaders delivered eulogies, while other demonstrators gave speeches about loved ones they’ve lost to the virus.

The protest was part of a nationwide “Day of Mourning” … [and] similar demonstrations took place in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Texas and other states. More demonstrations will take place throughout the week and will include mock funeral motorcades outside the office of Sen. Lindsey Graham in Columbia, South Carolina, and outside a property owned by White House senior adviser Jared Kushner in Bedminster, New Jersey.

Powerful. And they protested at the right people, the ones who bear the most responsibility for how things spiraled out of control.

I say this because I remember when the Sunshine Movement decided to stage a protest in late 2018-early 2019 at the person they held most responsible for not doing anything about climate change. Was that Trump? McConnell? Kushner? Paul Ryan?

Nope--it was Nancy Pelosi.

They should stock up on more bags for future days of mourning. It seems Trump is withdrawing the US from the World Health Organization.

Make America Great Again was it?

It was "Make America Great Again--for White People"...but of course, Trump always does the reverse--so he made things worse.

And to think that people still claim that Hillary would have been just as bad...
