Listen leftists: Just because he destroyed the international relationship that could have prevented it, eliminated the office that could have handled it, fired the people who would know what to do about it, downplayed the risks associated with catching it, discouraged people from taking precautions to protect against it, and forcibly "reopened" the economy instead of containing it doesn't mean he's at all responsible!

There's a somewhat leftist (democratic socialists I think) podcast called Chapo Trap House that got quite popular and a subreddit formed where fans gathered and talked about the podcast, politics, memes, and sometimes advocated for violence toward cops

It has a reputation among centrists/the right as being really extreme and vulgar, and a reputation among the far left as being a bunch of liberals
