At this point, it's probably a defense mechanism. Can you imagine the kind of soul crushing realization it would be to accept that you're responsible for your spouse's death because you got way too deep into shit posting on Facebook? It's way, way more comfortable to displace that blame and rationalize it away.
I sort of feel like the exceedingly casual posting on Facebook about this very world-wrenching moment in his life is proof enough for me that he's made a few horcruxes in his time and has a maimed soul.
If I was in his shoes, those 3 words would be on loop in my head, and I'd be curled up in a foetal position bawling, insensate, forever. Like the end of a particularly disturbing Black Mirror ep.
Deserved too. I blame the dipshit that was president for it though. All he had to do was say to wear a mask and get vaccinated and so many lives would have been saved. The whole fighting over it would never have happened. It's really pathetic, and these mouthbreathers are trying to vote his dumbass back in.
I miss the old /r/hermancainaward before they started blocking out people's faces. They all pretty much looked just like this dude, but it made all the posts much more real seeing the people that posted them.
