The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.

As unpopular as the Iran war is, the coverage still doesn't do justice to the fact that they just could have not done any of this. There was literally no reason beyond general bloodthirstiness and incompetence.
Thirty percent of Americans now say it was "inappropriate" to cast Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy. That opinion didn't exist a year ago. Somebody built it. New piece on the campaign against The Odyssey: what it failed to do, and what it actually accomplished. www.readtpa.com/p/where-did-...
