Frame Lab on Criminal Trump

1 Share

Criminal Trump is clearly unfit for office

If the entire press establishment sees fit to call on Biden to drop out of the race because of a bad debate, why haven't they applied this same logic to the convicted criminal who promises to destroy American democracy and rule as an authoritarian dictator?

My hunch is media owners think a Trump dictatorship would be better for their bottom line. Or maybe they’re true believers? The results are the same.

What to Do

FYI: The 'drop, cover, and hold on' advice only applies to earthquakes. If you encounter a mountain lion, you should absolutely not drop to the ground, crawl under it, and hold on to one of its legs.

The vaccine stuff seems pretty simple. But if you take a closer look at the data, it's still simple, but bigger. And slightly blurry. Might need reading glasses.

My partner isn't an anti-vaxxer, but she's still afraid of the covid vaccines :(

The key concept is understanding how antibodies are generated. That requires a familiarity with science relative to the immune system.

My experience so far is more that the key concept is which source of claimed truth one trusts and why, because at the end of the day we delegate most of that to other humans.
