Trump Enslavement Syndrome - Orange man good. /r/The_Donald and any public demonstration of rabid pro-Trump enthusiasm in spite of all reason.

Voting is free.... getting an ID or Birth Certificate should not be free.

Why.

Like literally why

You do know that Covid is not all that lethal.

It‘s not about lethality, bro. It’s about the pressure on the healthcare system. That’s why there are lockdowns.

Ours were completely full for several months. I've said before that measures could probably have been less strict in many rural areas due to population density, and obviously in general the seriousness varied from location to location, but to be like "lol it was no big deal" is totally wrong. Yeah, the deaths-to-cases ratio was fairly low, but there were so fucking many cases it became a serious problem in much of the country. Like something with a 10% lethality rate that only affects 10 people vs somethin with a .1% lethality rate that affects 10,000,000 people (numbers pulled out of my ass) means the second is going to be a bigger problem.

Yeah, exactly. That’s why Ebola was a no big deal, while COVID fucked up the entire world.

Why.

Like literally why

It costs money to make IDs?

It costs money to make IDs?

It also costs money to make public schools and pay teachers but you don't pay $1000/year directly out of pocket at the principals office to send your kid there.

Did Trump bungle the Coronavirus response because his fanbase was saturated with anti-vaxx, 5G irradiates viruses, denialism lunacy and didn't want to lose their support? It's hard to rule in the 21st Century when your simps live in the Ante-Bellum era.

 

[GentlemanFaggot]

Yeah, exactly. That’s why Ebola was a no big deal, while COVID fucked up the entire world.

The one mercy of Ebola is that it kills people so damn quick that it burns itself out during an outbreak when the hosts drop like flies and can't spread.

The moment I realized COVID was gonna fuck shit up was when they discovered it had a 2 week asymptomatic contagious period back in Feb 2020 (Not sure if the timeline has changed since then, but that was the first "Oh shit," moment for me so it sticks with me).

That's part of it. Trump catered to the conspiracy right-wing nutjobs, and also wanted to look "tough", so he downplayed it as much as he could.

All he needed to do to cater to them was encourage survivalist and prepping shit. Those nuts were already hoarding masks when shit first got real.

A&N's progress was a real trip during this. They started out so serious about masks and encouraging people to buy proper N95 masks, and then the moment Trump started downplaying it they pivoted for the God Emperor.

Imagine being such a fucking cuck you believe everything a literal conman reality TV star blowhard says is the gospel truth

 

[Kornula]

Pffft, who would you believe about a virus, doctors and scientists or a career conman?

I look forward to reading about you being shot up at the next mass shooting event.

that was a joke.. just like the joke you made about CRT

His response to COVID is exactly why he lost the white vote to Biden. Middle class white boomers/gen-x types from the suburbs wanted a grandfatherly figure who’d comfort them. Biden filled that role perfectly, while Trump just played the blame game. Now Biden will forever be credited with “ending” the pandemic, while Trump will remain a one term president who hasn’t achieved shit.

But Trump did comfort them. He repeatedly asserted that the virus wasn't a big deal and that you had no reason to worry about it unless you were 90 years old with terminal cancer. Boomers liked that because it played to their deep-seated unwillingness to handle any sort of adversity or inconvenience.

 

[JaneThough]

I'll lay it out in a way they tend to teach elementary school students.

I have to pay for an ID. I have to present this ID to vote. Therefore, I have to pay to vote.

If you don't get it after this, you're probably functionally retarded.

He voted for Trump, do you really need to wonder?

 

[George Floyd Sneed]

Covid was handed to Trump on a plate. A pathogen from China is an authoritarian's wet dream. His followers are already terrified of foreigners and conservatives tend to be more susceptible to fear of sickness and contamination. He could have used the virus as an excuse to crack down on immigration and fuck up his enemies using emergency powers. He could have sold MAGA branded masks. He didn't even have to handle it well, he just had to appear to be handling it well by pumping out consistent messages about fighting the Chinese menace, and Democrats and Antifa secretly spreading covid, and so forth.

Instead he dithered and played golf and changed his mind every 2 hours and whined on Twitter. His enemies are lucky he's a lazy retard.

The pandemic was Trump’s first true test of leadership…and he completely flunked it. I agree, there were actually numerous opportunities to come out ahead and he went with the opposite approach. Of course, by that time, there were only two people he listened to: Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. Two muddled brain retarded children of privilege who only cared about what Netanyahu wants (for Jared) and their ditzy socialite friends (for Ivanka) wanted. These three dumbasses had no real leadership qualities to survive a pandemic so they floundered.

Jared and Ivanka were the worst political advisors since Rasputin. Their incompetence is truly impressive…and those two were considered by Donald to be his successors. Truly hopeless.

 

[Coily]

That shocked me really bad, there is a sizable amount of people unwilling to make the tiniest effort or experience some mild discomfort in order to help others. I guess that's also Communism.

 

[Doctor of Autism]

It saddens and angers me that you Trump hating libtards have zero clue on how badly you're ruining America the world and yourselves.

Yes because Trump somehow was saving America by shitting his pants and doing nothing. I'm pretty sure monitoring the situation has stopped Antifa or BLM from destroying places or making autonomous zones, that downplaying COVID with the exception of making a vaccine would fix things by the end of the year, or that being surprised that people would act violent after months of believing how there are parties out to rig elections surely helped stopped fraud

It's funny how people like you hate politicians or focus on bigger issues yet willingly make themselves into simps for retarded people in power who could give less of a shit about them and only themselves, and even label themselves or others into the two parties that have been ruining America for the past few decades.

Then again you Trumpcucks are no different from the Sanders/Biden cucks thinking that your old man is better than the other old man who will help you yet threw you fags under the bus when convenient.

Yeah Biden was the one that was both realistic and brutally honest about Covid.

The corporate establishment of which both democrats and republicans have been part of for generations have spent every waking moment since their inception pushing this idea that America is a competition and every single person besides yourself is a rival. The intention behind this was mostly just Union busting but also it was meant to keep the working class on a much larger scale from being willing to interact in any meaningful way with itself, making it much, much harder to challenge the control of the ruling class, no matter how bad things got. This then bled over in to social scenarios in general, and was capitalized on during the Cold War where the US government at the behest of corporate elites began using fear of communism in propaganda as a vehicle for getting people to be opposed to pretty much anything that involved the many working together to benefit the whole. It also helped create a nationalistic identity where one could look at all the deaths caused by communism and go “it was because of communism!” but then look at all the deaths caused by capitalism and be able to ignore them going “clearly they just didn’t work as hard as me!” or be able to see declassified operations in which the US stages coups and assassinations to destabilize successful socialist nations and still go “no that’s communism and that’s why they failed!”. The name of the game is to keep the working class convinced that this is the only way to do things and it is the best way to do things and that change will result in mass death and the destruction of western society, even if that just means everybody gets healthcare like they do in the rest of the developed world with no issues.

You're probably going to be downvoted but you've hit on why society these days is so fucked up. No wonder socialism is making a comeback.
