We knew this. We knew this in February. We knew this in March. In April. In May. In June. In July. In August. You knew this. This isn't anything new. It was evident from day 1 and we didn't need Bob Woodward to confirm it to us. If this came out even in March...we would have said 'Duh'. If this came out in April, May, June, J…
We knew this. We knew this in February. We knew this in March. In April. In May. In June. In July. In August. You knew this. This isn't anything new. It was evident from day 1 and we didn't need Bob Woodward to confirm it to us. If this came out even in March...we would have said 'Duh'. If this came out in April, May, June, July, August...we would have said 'Duh'. Its something we all knew. No one paying any sort of attention doubted this.
If he came out with it at any point in time the reaction from anyone intelligent would have been, 'Yes and?'. Because we all fucking knew this at the same level we know water is fucking wet. Its not the revelation you think it is to people with functioning brains.
If it came out immediately, or shortly there after, Trump would have fucking spun it. And you god damn know thats true. It would have been buried. And the people that need to hear it now would have already dismissed it. The democrats in office wouldn't have done shit and we all know it. It took years to get Pelosi to even consider impeachment despite the mountains of evidence. Even then they failed. What do you honestly expect would have happened?
But its all coming out now, just before the election. After months of Trump bullshiting and saying the exact opposite of what Woodward is reporting on tape. Its all there. In March spin could have been done and no one would remember it. These are things those of us against trump have known from day 1. By now no one would remember that shit.
But again...its coming out now. With months of Trumps statements in the rear view. Everyone has history to look at, the numbers to look at. Only the absolute diehards that would never ever change their stance can deny what happened regardless of whatever spin is put on. And it comes right before the election.
Bob Woodward handed us a win, right before the election and you're telling him to fuck off and thats fucking stupid.
"We knew" what, exactly? In January, February, March, I actually didn't know whether COVID would end up being worse than the seasonal flu. I didn't know how big a danger aerosol transmission was. And even as answers to both of those questions became clear, I didn't know that Trump's public statements to the contrary were contemporaneously contradicting the information he was receiving publicly.
It is a little weird to portray this is as information that ALWAYS would have been greeted with a shrug because it would only have been confirming something we always already knew, but at the same time a bombshell piece of news that needed to be saved until just before the election to have maximum impact (as to that point, this revelation is coming out earlier than the Access Hollywood tape in 2016, so not sure it will be the game changer you seem to think it will be). Also, even if you assume that the timing of the revelation represents a "win" for people who want Joe Biden to be elected, I'm not sure handing Democrats a win is, or should be, Bob Woodward's goal. Probably if the president is saying things publicly that are different than what he is saying privately, and that contradiction is costing people lives, it is probably incumbent on people who have information about that contradiction to reveal it publicly. Put another way, the people who are upset with Woodward might be doing a thing where they prioritize "informing the public and possibly saving lives" over "marginally improving Biden's chances at winning the election."
