TRUMP’S GENOCIDE
Fauci continues to believe he can still have some kind of impact. An outreach that is not real. Not while he’s being benched. He was Trump’s biggest enabler. Trump would fire him if he could get away with it in the media. A pandemic is not about what you can get away with. Trump is killing us.
Minorities are at the most risk. It’s called genocide. Yet Fauci remains sidelined and denounced. He would have a more relevant voice if he resigned from a government that is a moral nightmare. Science is science. But morality is a cultural attribute. Fauci clings to the science. Understandable. But the politics is what drives the Great Machine. Fauci has to go before Trump declares he was fired. Whether he was or not. His credibility has never been for sale.
But because he has been a voice for what is actually real, and what we actually face, his presence in the shadow of the monster will facilitate that monster to become more and more indifferent.
We cannot afford indifference. We cannot afford to allow indifference to define us as a species. Because doing so puts the most at risk among us who are at risk anyway, even more at risk of being targeted for death, not by a virus which does not have a mind, or values, but by one individual who can and does focus on ridding the culture of human beings he hates and hates and hates. Compassion is not in his crazy vocabulary unless it means him and all his imaginary grievances. We need Fauci’s voice to have a solid, informed impact.
