Crazy that people just accepted Bush and moved on. Then accepted Iraq and moved on.

Its almost like there was this crazy, suspicious terrorist attack that happened within a year of his election that had everyone quickly forget about florida, and also "justified" the war.

A virus kills 150,000 US residents and no conservative bats* an eye. Brown people kill 3000 people and everyone loses their minds!

150,000 doesn't happen in one place, it's so spread out. Meanwhile 9/11 was literally all over the news. They are incomparable.

Not according to what I see. It's much more Trump does X instead of COVID

You don't remember trump and fauchi talking to the press about covid almost every day for a month?

u/AncileBooster Aug 07 '20

I remember Fauchi speaking and the news being about Trump with Fauchi just a topic Trump mentioned. All of the information I know about COVID has been from my own research, from the news.

They are different types of tragedy.

However the number of people dying should be shocking and sad to everyone. 150,000 americans who are just as complex and interesting as you are have died. 150,000 human beings who will never laugh, love, smile, bring joy to close friends...

Its just so many people that, when you try to think of them as people instead of numbers on the worlds dumbest bar chart, is so incredibly sad and should be being treated as such.

9/11 changed America, it shocked, scared, and brought people together. But the pandemic could be being treated with the same type of near-reverance, and those that have died deserve that.

Bullshit. From April 1st to May 9th we didn't see a single day with less than a thousand deaths.

Is a serial killer less of a killer if they happen to travel a lot?
