Even though my family is somewhat conservative, being from the boonies, they aren't religious, so I would be fine with this. Honestly if this virus wipes out boomers it will solve our social security crisis, our stupid voter crisis, and free up a ton of resources and jobs they have been hoarding.

That's not cynicism, that's full-blown hatefulness.

Anyway.... too bad that in these worse-case scenarios, the virus would also wipe out a ton of resources and jobs, so that the net effect for the survivors wont be nearly as great as some are hoping for. Long-term, it would also put the financial feasability of the current social security system in question and narrow down the financial wiggle room for an expansion of social security entitlements. So at the end of the day, what it would boil down to is "the virus would decimate a GOP-leaning constituency and help empower Democrats".

And the next day, your "side" continues to complain about Trump's lack of 'decency'. :lol:

Heavens forbid we hold an authoritarian government responsible with a record of humans right violations for basically starting a global health pandemic

Of course we will keep complaining about Trump's lack of decency, he's the president, I'm a random poster on an internet forum. There are different standards.

that's not the argument though. the naming doesn't do ANY good, quite the opposite: it creates and amplifies negative sentiments against asian citizens, that reportedly already face increased violence and rejection due to corona hysteria. it also does nothing to convince the chinese government to start a dialogue on how to prevent that kind of pandemic in the future.

i have said multiple times that the CCP deserves ALL the criticism it could possibly get for how it handled the outbreak and its response, but childish namecalling, that just endangers your own citizens, is not productive. can't say i'm surprised that people like you would think it is though.
