"Donald Trump said so."

This stuff doesnt happen overnight.  I doubt the long-term goal was to make people ignore medical advice during an unprecedented pandemic, but I think years of telling people that scientists were liars in order to fight environmental regulations opened Pandora's box.  

In order to build support for neo conservative politics there was a long-term effort to convince people everyone but neo con politicians were liars who turned this country into an absolute shithole. 

I almost want to to back to the early 2000s and tell his current day supporters that in 2020 the only person you're going to trust is going to be Donald Trump. They'd have me committed. Ok so that sounds like a lousy idea.
