Way to gain followers during the pandemic: bash the US. Promote fear. Consider every #COVID19 case as a stab in the heart. Be certain.
Way to lose followers: accept that this is a dastardly difficult pathogen, consider it as just another disease, be uncertain, ask questions

That’s a subtle (actually not-so-subtle) ad hominem. He’s basically implying that those “bashing” the US over its pandemic response on Twitter are doing it for the followers. Basically, he’s impugning their motives.

DG — you give me way too much credit; I am not that subtle. I call out those who bash the US mostly for their hubris. I am no fan of DT, but we don’t know the counterfactual. Countries held up early on for their wisdom are struggling now.

You’re right. Your ad hominem was not subtle at all. I was being nice and giving you the benefit of the doubt.

You might as well have just said, “They’re doing it for the clicks.”
