Trump Is Now One With Countless Essential Workers
American Greatness ^ | October 8, 2020 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 10/10/2020 6:19:41 PM PDT by CheshireTheCat

Joe Biden has redefined mask wearing. It is now the thinking man’s patriotism, what every “scientific” and “refined” mind naturally does.

Biden, the media, and the progressive party all blame the now ill Trump for becoming infected. They accuse the president of becoming sick because he was selfish. You see, he was not always wearing a mask, or not always isolating in social-distancing fashion, or not always staying inside except for essential expeditionary trips.

Upon reading these condemnations, one could be forgiven for thinking Trump was the mayor of Fresno, not the president of the most powerful and necessary nation in history.

The subtext is that Trump is no Biden. Joe follows “science.” He “gets it.” He “listens” to “experts.” Like Trump his rival septuagenarian has health issues, but very much unlike Trump, Biden, until lately, seldom was seen or heard. For Biden, the way to run a presidency is the way he wishes to conduct the second debate—by Zoom.

Who Is the Real “Patriot”? This Trump/Biden good-bad dichotomy is crazy. It reveals that Biden has no real idea of who is keeping this country in general, and his own household in particular, alive—much less how hard that task is at a time of plague and quarantine.

Class differences, considerations, and interests are the real themes of this election. They are on the side of the president who took the same calculated risks that millions do to meet the requirements of their jobs that simply cannot be done from basements and safe zones or over computers and smartphones.

Recently, Joe Biden, in his usual clumsy racialist fashion, at last confessed that his own half-year sequestration kept him safe only because, “some black woman was able to stack the grocery shelf.”

FTA

“In our true sickness, we have come to equate COVID-19 infection with some sort of moral or patriotic failing, as though it is due to lack of prior exercise or weight control, or whatever writ is used to fault the infected.”

The subtitle is excellent!

President Trump has no reason to apologize for getting sick. He took risks to meet the obligations of his office and is now one with the millions who do the same thing, every day.

When VDH is on his game, he is without peer.

He was on his game with this one.

Meanwhile, the non-essential Biden sits in his basement along with the other odds and ends of junk that accumulates in basements across the country. He’s hoping that someone will say, “I think I have a Biden in the basement, maybe we finally have some use for it”

Are the Dems suggesting that the 200,000 COVID fatalities were selfish and unpatriotic for having contracted the disease?

These self-righteous buttwipes can KMA. I am an essential worker and was hospitalized twice because of COVID. My lungs are now FUBAR and just this week I tendered my resignation from a job I love (and was damn good at) because I have to take 2 meds and 2 inhalers just to get through the day.

I’m 54 years old. I will not make it to 60. I have 3 kids and a husband who need me; my baby is a freshman in high school.

I wore my mask EVERY DAMN DAY. Still got it.

If the shooting starts, I call dibs on Olbermann. I lost years of my life for that right.

And just an FYI, that last person I blame for this is Trump! I will crawl over broken glass, if need be, to vote for him.

That would astonish me if that were true. I can safely say I have never voted for a Democrat except ONCE...perhaps Mr. Hansen did back in “the day”.

I voted for Joe Liebermann as Senator when I lived in Ct., mainly because he was a lot more conservative than Lowell Weiker, the "Republican".

It is true he was (is?) a Democrat. He himself said so 10 or 15 years ago. I was astonished at the time. He hasn’t mentioned his personal politics in ages. I hope they evolved.

Will Biden believe the ‘experts’ when a group of them tell him he has dementia??
