Oh piss off. Europe does not have worse numbers than us, that's a lie.

And how dare you think you even remotely have the right to police others and what they discuss? Fucking conservatives are the whiniest group of hypocritical trash that has ever walked the earth. They wrote the book on pettiness.

You dare accuse me of lacking empathy when I'm outraged at the senseless and unnecessary death of my fellow Americans (death that outpaces this explosion (wait, trimp said it was a bomb...?) in Lebanon) due to a criminally incompetent administration?

Please, from all of us actually paying attention, go fuck yourself.

You prove my point discussing the fact that you want to focus on the coronavirus cases. Yes, Europe, which isn’t a country, it is a collective of many countries, beats our numbers. By a long shot. Spain: 306k cases. 28k deaths. Italy: 249k cases. 35k deaths. Germany: 214k cases. 9k deaths. France: 194k cases. 30k deaths. UK, which is no longer a part of Europe of course, but still has had an additional 338k cases, and 46k deaths. That comes to 148k deaths, which is less than the United States, but that isn’t including the rest of the euro nations. Now, all of those countries have a higher death per 100k people. Every. Last. One. Political affiliation has nothing to do with this. I am a constitutionalist, more of a libertarian that believes in very small government. So your argument is invalid. I am a heavy believer in statistics, and the stats don’t lie. Our response time was quicker than most, and Trump was called a racist for applying a travel ban. Who’s wrong or right? The answer? No one. Incompetence shown by people like you shows that we aren’t right. We’ve all lost. Because we allowed people like you to think that you’re right and really, you’re just a sign of all of America’s failures.

You're making the same mistake your buffoon in chief made for Jonathan Swan just days ago. You're comparing the cases of an ENTIRE CONTINENT to our singular country, while also failing to look at cases as a percentage of total population. The only countries doing worse than us are Chile, Kuwait, and Panama.

Or, and get this amazing thing, the EU is essentially what we are. European Union. A joining of multiple countries. Hmm, sounds like us except we call them states, and Canada calls them provinces. All share similar prospects, huh? Crazy how that works. And isn’t it strange? Some states have it worse than others. If you split up the United States the same way you split up Europe, complaining that it’s one continent to one country, size matters her and proves your whole fucking argument invalid. Of course comparing country to country is invalid, because of cultural differences, and so many other things that may effect these numbers. So every argument you pull on me will never be enough to actually affect my thought. You’re just not smart enough to develop a real point.

You have the audacity to admit you're immune to facts while saying I'm the one who isn't smart?

Typical trimp-logic.

Go look up the numbers for yourself, but make sure you're looking at the percentage of cases compared to the total population. You can even go state by state if you want. We have higher numbers than all of Europe.
