@futurebird they take as-given that capitalism is good and "their team" is honest/on their side.
Trump pulled the CDC out of Wuhan in the lead-up to covid. He refused to follow Obamas plan, & actively undermined the response with lies etc while thinking it would hurt his enemies (but also just go away?)
Capitalism is eating society, but reps can't blame it. so they see conspiracy.
Fauci lied to make sure there were enough masks for health professionals. Understandable but undermined trust
