Current Events > so the GOP bungling the pandemic might end up leading them roaring back to power

(+) Yeah! (+)

if I didn't live in America our politics would be comical to be frank, they really get to blame the Dems because the state governments that they dominate basically flunked on every part of the pandemic response and thus have led us to an anemic recovery that they can pin on Biden (special shout to our "moderate" friends in Manchin and Sinema of course lol)

The pandemic easily secured the election for dems. Due to republican and trump refusal to do wellanything

but now, weve said fuck it, its been long enough. The general public is really sick of masks, etc..

idk. Its all cyclical

Why are Americans such babies about masks? In Asia, people wear masks when they have colds. They have done this for decades. Nobody whines

I'd love to see literally any evidence that "being sick of masks" led to VA or any other results tonight.

South korea has about 1/7 of us population.

Only 2000 deaths from corona despite living on same landmass as China

this is how the left should be thinking, honestly. can't fuck it up come election time.

don't wanna wear masks, didn't try to social distance, many still refuse to be vaccinated and than they are mad about the pandemic dragging on, meanwhile people in many poorer societies have done a much better job than people in the largest economy on the planet, how embarrassing.

pretty sure people in asia aren't taught from a young age that the universe revolves around them.

that sort of hive mentality tends to leave its mark.

It's honestly the collectivist vs. individualist way of thinking. Both have their pros and cons but individualistic type of thinking always tends to be much more selfish.

Americans don't like being told what to do, what a shocker.

Could you imagine if Trump won re-election and then enforced mandates? Antifa would've burned down half the country by now

Can't discount the CRT propaganda

It's been the GQP playbook for decades. Run on the idea that government doesn't work, purposely fuck things up when they are in power, then blame democrats when they have to make the unpopular decisions to try and fix things.

It is so obvious to anybody with a brain. Like the tax cuts they pushed through early in trumps term. Permanent for the rich, but only effective for a few years on the middle class. Which would expire in the next presidential term, meaning they could blame the democrats (if trump lost) for raising taxes on them.

It works and it fucking sucks.

The CRT propaganda is basically the entire reason that Youngkin won. It was the crux of his campaign and a key issue for many, many unintelligent voters.

But with the way the GOP has been handling COVID, it's only a matter of time before more of their voters start dying out to it.

mix of scientific illiteracy, faux individualism, lazy politicians who didn't want to govern so falling back on the aforementioned factor, and a populace that tries to live their lives not ever being inconvenienced at much of anything.
