How is it Fauci's fault that the Clown-world News Network asked him a gotcha hypothetical and he answered it honestly? Fauci didn't say Trump did anything wrong; CNN and the rest of the fake news said that's what he said. Why are we letting fake news tell us what we think about Fauci?
What actually happened is that when Fauci was asked those early questions, he gave what was then the best response given the available information. When new information arrived he changed his opinion. Trump changed his opinion as new information arrived as well. As does any other rational thinker.
What was the new information? That even with most people (attempting to) follow slow-the-spread guidelines the virus was still spreading.
Allowing new verified information to sway your opinion is a core tenet of being MAGA, for me anyway. Admitting that if you had that information earlier you would have shut things down earlier and that hypothetical action would have saved lives is just being honest. Honest people have no trouble admitting that their previous decisions could have been better if they had better information. Honest people have no trouble admitting that the outcome would have been better had they made that choice.
Honest people also understand that hindsight is indeed 20/20. The better outcome was never an option in the real world. That's how the world works. You make the best decision you can and you take responsibility for the consequences of your actions. Conversely, you don't become a martyr for failing to choose an option that no rational person would have chosen at the time.
Making America Great Again means being honest about what is real and what is fake. It is fake news to think that Fauci, Trump, or anyone else on the planet had enough information to rationally recommend a shutdown prior to the time that they did actually recommend it.
