Had they done little, people would be in hysterics that nothing was being done because $FOREIGN_COUNTRY had stricter rules in place.
Had they done a lot, people would be in hysterics that freedoms were being curtailed unnecessarily because $FOREGN_COUNTRY had weaker rules in place.
- jjoonathan 3y agoNo-win? People love firm leadership in a time of crisis. It was almost a no-lose, but Trump found a way. If he had reluctantly accepted basic public health measures from the start or even pivoted into them when things got serious ("Stop the China Virus! Wear a MAGA Mask!") people would have loved him for it. He would still be president. Instead, 3 years later, half the country believes that masks are tyrannical government oppression and IR thermometers are gulag training.
