Almost as many would have died under another president.

incorrect. Trump dismissed parts of a worldwide research network that monitored infectious diseases. the team in China was dismissed months before covid began to spread in China in 2019.

Trump was notified of the situation happening in China weeks before the first cases hit the US.

so let’s just cover what he did.

1. stripped all protection against early warning systems
2. ignored intel about a spreading infection in China
3. refused to close the borders before it was too late

his further actions only worsened the situation.

1. advocated for masklessness
2. denied vaccine support
3. actively sabotaged vaccine access for citizens
4. denied vaccine access from other countries
5. advocated for injecting bleach
6. advocated for ivermectin
7. denied the economic impact of covid
8. denied the population loss of covid
9. denied the efficacy of testing for covid
10. actively sabotaged covid testing resources

so, anyone with brain damage can see that he actively made it worse.

covid killed 1.3 million Americans.

defunding US aid has effectively killed billions.

If Bush was the devil, Trump is evil incarnate.

currently Trump sits next to historical world leaders like Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, and Joseph Stalin.

no. schools are an extension of the state and should not be relied upon to teach anything other than factually based information that supports building a stronger society.

anything pertaining to moralistic integrity or personal responsibility should be the family’s responsibility.

the real problem here is that our society is collapsing due to the greed of capitalism. a greed that requires parents to work double shifts, or multiple jobs. this leaves parents either completely unavailable or exhausted to the point of apathy.

UBI would go a long way in resolving the conflict of state vs parental responsibility.

school doesn’t teach discipline, parents do.

that’s somehow worse.

in the hall of the mountain king would be a great addition to this list.

my wife is pissed! we’re spending $200 on cookies each month.

why would you feel unsafe?

are you doing something that might cause you to get your head stuck in a guillotine? because, if you are, you might just deserve to feel unsafe…
