Honestly, I dont think that the issue was Trump's idea of American exceptionalism. It imho was textbook denial. Things were going well for him, and he just didnt want it to be true that a black swan event came around and shredded the strong economy which was supposed to be the cornerstone of his reelection campaign. And he of course knows that a pandemic would put the topic of healthcare to the forefront of the public debate, which happens to be the one topic where Democrats have an overwhelming lead over Republicans.

Trump buried his head in the sand for a couple of weeks before he finally came to terms with the fact that this virus is here to stay and that it'll really be on him to do something about it. Essentially, all the shuffling we're seeing now around the nation is just the country playing catch up to those 2-3 weeks that were lost at the most crucial time.

To be fair, the leaders of most other big countries were also in denial and hesitated too long until they initiated the shutdowns. Trump's example is particularly egregious, but he's not nearly the only world leader who dropped the ball on coronavirus.


Dudes cornerstone was running on the Obama economy lol.

At least the right got 2 judges from this guy.

India is soooooooooooo fucked...


Would wait before saying this, getting first numbers. Climatic conditions, median age, life expectancy...
The virus survival is better in humidity, cold, and less sunny conditions.
Their median age is 10 years younger than Europe or US.
Life expectancy is also 10 years less.

I was being silly. My coworkers had been teasing me for spraying everything with lysol on the unit, elevators leading to, etc. They joked and said i couldnt spray coworkers. I feel bad leaving them but i need to stay fit.

- 9/11 just happened
- gooms leftist twin: 'an american soldier slapped a kid in saudi-arabia today, that's what america is up to these days'
- me: 'you're a desperate hack for trying to misrepresent that as the whole of america, especially with so much more important shit going on right now'

- sandra and trench boy, standing over their keyboards because their butts are too sore to sit: 'ha, the irony. goom's twin is merely offering valuable perspective. opposing that is bad. i am very intelligent.'
