    Yeah, any rational person in charge of public policy post-CoViD would say, “Oh wow, we could’ve done that much better; let’s shift how we’re doing things.”

    But as usual, MAGA doubled down for propaganda purposes.

      WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN MAGA DOUBLED DOWN

      BIDEN WAS THE FUCKING PRESIDENT FOR ALMOST THE ENTIRE PANDEMIC

      SPECIFICALLY THE PART YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT

        I know you mean this as sarcasm, but not only was Biden the president for the majority of the pandemic, there was a democratic supermajority.

        It wasn’t just MAGA doubling down. It’s a concerted doubling down from nearly every major institution and demographic. It’s easy to blame MAGA, but it’s plainly obvious that the problem lies much deeper.

          MAGA is leading the charge I mentioned. You can try to blame the apathetic and confused all you want, but they’re not the ring leaders.

            “Make America Great Again” was a line that Bill Clinton loved to use as well.

            If by “MAGA” you mean socioeconomic elites with strong ties to projects like the heritage foundation and frequent fliers at destinations like Epstein’s island then I’m 100% in agreement!

            Obamacare was architechted by the heritage foundation.

            Jim Crow Joe had a supermajority during the pandemic, did nothing and declared the pandemic “over” right before the deadliest wave. Voiced his true feelings when he said “you aint black!” If you don’t support him. Achieved his careerlong ambition of overturning Roe V Wade but didn’t quite manage to kill Medicare/Medicaid which was his real personal pet project.

            I don’t blame you for being confused and you clearly aren’t apathetic, but you need to get informed otherwise you will continue to focus on the “scary” monster while the real enemy continues to flank.

              In other words, “both sides?”

              One party is demonstrably worse. The other is failing to oppose them sufficiently.

              Their sins are far from equal as you anecdotally suggest.

                The “good cop” is trying to fuck you over just as much as the “bad cop”.

                So yes, bOTh SidES are allied with eachother against you and I. The sins cannot be compared against eachother because they are shared.

                  Nah, eating poop is way worse than smelling it.

                  You’re vastly oversimplifying to fit whatever your hidden agenda is and I don’t care to dig through your profile to find out what that might be.

          Exactly.

          I don’t know why SinAdjetivos felt the need to Whataboutism/“both sides” this issue; it’s clearly a concerted effort from MAGA to undermine science literacy for various reasons.

          You can tell they’re not arguing in good faith because they equivocated MAGA to anyone (including Bill Clinton) saying they want to make America great again, which is obviously not the same thing.

          If someone says they want to make America great again by instituting economic reforms like FDR, they are very obviously not MAGA.
