Packerrats and COVID-19

[bobblehead]

Much of that is due to the msg's coming out of the white house....fed. gov't actions at least starting mid march say one thing, but the words and tweets coming from the president say something different.

You are mistaken. It was the message coming from the WHO, the CDC and the entire fucking world. Its tools like you that want to pretend...muh orange man bad!!

It's amazing how you can tell with near certainty someone's political views based in their views of this crisis. Sad. The two should only have loose correlation.

Many people enjoy watching the same movie over and over again, but it’s interesting that some people are still surprised when the ending is the same.

Yea. I agree. It seems like the ones screaming "You need to be on lockdown" but then going about their own business are almost always.....well, I don't want to get political here.

Impressive how you were able to underscore the point of a thread so completely by using yourself as an example.

You identified part of the picture, but you're underscoring my point with what you chose to focus on.

And who do you see as to blame for that? The people just trying to help and mitigate this situation? Or the desperate assholes trying to overrule the electoral process and harm America and Americans in their efforts? You're probably correct that there should not be much correlation with political views, but the losers in the political process have made that impossible. Believe me, most Americans are acutely aware of what each side is doing.

oldbutnotdeadyet, if somebody says they are whatever in terms of ethnicity, I ain't gonna argue with them. I will say, though, I find what you say a bit hard to believe. Maybe you've been taking sarcasm lessons from Rand hahahahaha.

I don’t come in here and post but just one question. How did All of these Democratic Governors become governor except through the electoral process?

How did the Senate and Congress and the President all get elected if not by the electoral process?

How do Democrats, Republicans, Tea Party, Libertians, Independents some how get elected to run our government if not through the electoral process?

Just because your party doesn’t win every election doesn’t mean it’s “desperate assholes trying to overrule the electoral process and harm America".

Human nature, motivated reasoning. You present the exact same facts and propose two different solutions, if you also indicate (random) party affiliations with these solutions the party is more important than facts to which is preferred.

Second part is people confronted with this freely see the bias in others, but are blind to their own.

I think they behave much better in Canada.

The people get the government they deserve. Sometimes they get it real hard.

Which sentiment was echoed by the other side of the debate with equal conviction. Each having built up their house of cards from selective logical underpinnings and carefully honed arguments and justifications.

Your full of shit....I was referring to his statements throughout....even up to yesterday.....look at the phases of reopening, then look at his statements and tweets...they don't jive with each other. You want to lay it all on China, fine. Doesn't really matter to me, If you ask me they both have plenty of blame. I know Trump did everything right....lol....most of the country doesn't see it that way.

No quarrel with any of that. I suppose even the desperate leftist assholes of the media are merely acting within the electoral process, albeit trying to subvert things with their fake news and distortions. Of course, you didn't say anything about the inane and insane efforts at impeachment. Arguably, though, the electoral losers failed at that just before this overblown corona mess came up - no coincidence there, I'm sure hahahaha.

People in general, and I would assume even you know the score here - which side is doing their best to help America and improve the situation, and which side is doing their damnedest to desperately scramble to mess with Us the American People and harm the country in general.

Your post is a little bit hard to comprehend, but it seems like you're pushing the idea of moral equivalence here. Hell no! There is no moral equivalence here. One side is slogging along doing what it takes to fix the mess; The other side is dragging its feet, obstructing, whining, and yes, trying to harm America. The electoral population of America knows this, and if you aren't convinced, maybe the November election will make it clearer.
