Choking On Hubris
Dec. 10th, 2020 09:59 pmSo the USA just recorded more than 3000 deaths from Covid19 in a day. More people than the total death toll from 9/11... which everyone was so upset about at the time & rallied together to, rightly or wrongly, declare a war on terrorism
And yet, the country can't unite to fight a war on a virus, with up to 50% of the population preferring to deny its existence, or see public health measures as an attack on their 'liberty'
How bad does it have to get before these idiots realise they're wrong... Is the USA going to be undone by a microscopic virus? We may not be looking at the end times of civilisation as a whole, but it certainly seems the USA will be playing a greatly reduced role in it, as long as the liars are not only listened to, but believed... & put in power... & allowed to stay there even after democracy demands their removal... & still nobody does anything decisive about it!?!?
I can't see how the States are going to stay united... it feels ready to break apart like the former Yugoslavia, with the various tribes ready to fight each other over petty ideologies
