Trump started all the divide because they were trying their best to keep the economy going at least until the election. They knew lockdowns would destroy the economy. He tried avoiding it as much as he could up until the point where they realized not doing anything would rapidly make things worse before the election and thats when he finally changed his mind. His rhetoric this whole time was to project optimism so the markets and outlook wouldn't crash. Which I don't blame him for but he didn't do it the right way. He did it in a way that minimized how dangerous the virus and for the most part didn't take things seriously. His followers always had that skepticism in their minds from the beginning because of him, and the root cause was to protect his own job (presidency). Thats why despite peak covid numbers ravaging this country, and again covid filling up hospitals and ICU beds, killing off 670k people already, people are still skeptical. I mean these are ordinary people - my neighbors who are firefighters, cops, engineers, teachers - these guys all jump on the slightest conspiracy theory that downplays the situation. They will never change. Their family members could die of covid and they will never change.
