So there you are. Why did so many die in the U.S.? One factor, aside from Democrat governors sending infected people into nursing homes, is the huge number (and size) of overweight Americans.
Okay, so it's okay if fat people die.

Fat people got no reason to live. I understand.

I don't think Trump took a role in encouraging physical fitness either.

I seem to remember Michelle Obama taking quite a bit of criticism from the right when she encouraged healthier foods.

Trump tried to get people back to work, particularly manufacturing and manual labor types of jobs.

I seem to recall that Michelle Obama annoyed a lot of people with her dumb menu mandates.

There are probably more of these types of Republicans than we know.

Colin Powell has not been a Republican since GW Bush was president.

How much does Trump weigh?

Is all that stuff about his love for McDonald's just leftist tripe?

Ironically enough I'm thinking about voting in Republican primaries for anti Trumpers

Of course, Colin Powell has supported the BLM movement.

It's interesting as we can point to one maybe two examples of Republicans doing this over the years, while Democrats and leftists have done this dozens of times. While I can and do condemn what took place at the Capitol, it has been the left that has been leading the way via violence and destruction of property these as a general matter. Not the right.
Spot on!!!

Trump ain't a Republican in a fiscally conservative sense. Let's get rid of him he's done a lot more damage.

He's a big government guy.

Given Trump's continuing popularity in Texas, I wonder how popular the Bush's are these days.

Biden's border policy... or lack thereof... is already wreaking havoc in all the border states. One Texas legislator has introduced a bill to complete the Trump wall without federal assistance. And name it after Trump.

It's hard to imagine anti-Trump Republicans doing well in Texas for the foreseeable future.
