Its not as clear cut as these two parties like to make it. Trump was terrible on Covid. During his term most Republicans were bad as well. However, they were not the same as the Democrats. An issue that should not have been political became political became political. Who knows what Trump would have done if he had remained in office. Its hard for me to believe he would have been as insane as Biden though.

The thing is, this is all a trap. Get people arguing about which team did better or worse instead of understanding the policies and logical flaws in both. Both desire to increase their power and their perceived need. Its really a  dumpster fire.

Trump was lucky that he was replaced by Biden. Otherwise you would have written it differently.

I think the author of this piece is pretty disingenuous when he accuses Trump's administration of being the perpetrator of "COVID Tyranny."

The record is very clear that Democrats were the extreme COVID tyrants, willing to embrace all manner of extreme violations of liberty, and willing to distort the scientific evidence and censor debate in order to do so.  It was 

 the Republicans who were speaking out against this.  Moreover, Trump had very little to do with any of it because most COVID policies were at the state and local levels.

The record is very clear that Democrats were the extreme COVID tyrants, willing to embrace all manner of extreme violations of liberty, and willing to distort the scientific evidence and censor debate in order to do so.  It was *always* the Republicans who were speaking out against this.  Moreover, Trump had very little to do with any of it because most COVID policies were at the state and local levels.
