@Arotrios I think that is an ivory tower view. I love America as much as anyone, and I watched 1.1 million largely preventable deaths from Covid. The reason all those citizens died is rank partisanship. Remember when Jared steered all the PPE away from Democratic states and for that matter when the governor of MD deployed the National Guard to keep Jared’s police force from confiscating the PPE. How about the confiscation of ventilators and deployment away from Democratic states? Dan Patrick saying that the old and vulnerable should gladly die to
allow the economy to open from the lockdown. “Dr.” Scott Atlas making administration policy to let hundreds of thousands of people die off for the quack idea of “herd immunity?” How about the aggressive anti maskers disrupting school board meetings and forcing their unmasked snotty faces into others? My family members treated these selfish purposefully ignorant fucks notwithstanding the danger to themselves. And by the way, if you’re someone who is immunocompromised, this not an academic discussion of partisanship. The awards to Grammy are made because of the active dissemination of deadly misinformation. As far as I’m concerned, Grammy should get her award. Grammy didn’t give a shit about other people dying
