China Travel Ban, instituted by the president, decried by anyone drinking the "That's Racist" Elixir of moral superiority, and then they proceeded to drink "What a Tragedy" Tonic to lament no action being taken to prevent such a thing from happening now that the death toll mounts, I can only conclude that people want bad things to happen so they can complain about supposedly unrelated bad things happening. Misery doesn't just love company, it actively seeks it out nowadays.
tbh I think nowadays people are just itching to declare others wrong, perhaps to make themselves feel better
or maybe humans have always been that way and we're only getting good record of it now
My best judgment says not to touch this. But I’m going to say this: it’s all bull. Blah blah blah. He’s a saint, he’s the devil. The democrats messed this up! The republicans messed this up. No. They didn’t. And yes. They did. Everyone is an idiot. You don’t get into politics because you have the cure for cancer hiding in your brain. The travel “ban” to China wasn’t a “ban.” US citizens were free to fly to and from. And did. Chinese territory citizens like Hong Kong weren’t banned. In the months after the ban 10,000+ Chinese citizens flew in and out of the US. Citizens from banned countries working transportation and freight were allowed in without precautions or measures. It’s a shit show from start to finish.
And anyone who wants to sum it up by blaming one group or another- you know what side their bread is buttered on. Because it wasn’t Trumps fault entirely. The democrats called tantrum hearings and had their doctors urge that travel restrictions weren’t effective, that they were too severe a response at that stage (sound familiar to the anti maskers- if you’re anti mask and bitching about this- look in a mirror.) But Trump spread inaccurate information. Him and his administration lost track of thousands of people their program was supposed to flag for quarantine and tracking. Blah blah blah.
They’re all fuxking idiots regardless of which parties knob they shine and anyone who thinks they can or should pin all this on one person or group has just said to your face that they either don’t know what they are talking about, or they don’t care about facts they just want to spin the situation to their agenda.
Oh. Final thought- US citizens weren’t banned, but we WERE strongly urged to avoid traveling to or from these areas. We still did. Before orders went in place we were advised to self isolate and to wear masks. Many didn’t. As states started lifting restrictions- we were urged to still avoid groups, maintain social distance, avoid unnecessary contact or outings and so forth. So everyone went to the fuxking beach and had parties. So we are all idiots too. Be the change you want in the world. Take my pledge- if even half of Americans can take and keep the “guest_ pledge to stop being fuxking idiots,” we can make then world a better place and stop having these problems. Join me friends.
