  • I’ve heard that people think he tried a variety of quack treatments alongside doctor prescribed treatments. Basically generally desperate and ready to try everything all at once. Which is a common theme among terminal patients.

    But he did say antivax stuff, after having been vaccinated. So at least when his own personal stakes are low, he was willing to roll with the MAGA rhetoric, but he wasn’t about to let his own life be at additional risk for it.

    Because he and Biden had the same cancer. He actually explicitly said Trump was wrong for being mean to Biden over it. If Adams didn’t have the same disease, he probably would have piled on.




  • This is a perspective that the leadership in general should keep in mind.

    They are relishing in ignoring laws and treaties and just opting out of consequences. Generally people understand that honoring laws and elections leaves the populace broadly with a sense of justice even with misdeeds and the punishments are, generally, pretty light. Even the light punishments satisfy people.

    Continually flaunting these mechanisms and denying people a civilized path to feelings of justice and being heard is a dangerous thing.

    It’s why the control bounces back and forth between two sinilar political parties, most people get a sense of “my team won” or “my team will probably win next time” and this placates people. To decide to nope out of these conventions is to invite great risk.
