Still can’t believe the official Chinese Covid fatalatity statistics of just over 4634. Even if it’s “only” an order of magnitude off and the real number is 46k it’s still unbelievably good. Hard to believe authoritarian control works that perfectly. Anyone have alt estimates?

True for certain topics but "paranoid about the virus" could have fit both Trump and his base with "Do you trust China on this virus?" as a rallying cry (which he later used). I don't think his base equated masks with a lack of freedom before politicization (i.e. think preppers).

If he had started with MAGA masks ("Someone came to me and said 'Sir, why don't you sell masks?'") and "Do you trust China?"/"Obama left us nothing" he'd win if the US did well (i.e. "We didn't shut down like Wuhan") and else double down on Obama ("Where were the masks?!?")
