    Trump sure thought it did.

    Don't you find it odd that the 2 worst Nations in the World dealing with Covid have extreme far right wing, anti-science leaders running them?

    not really, no. Our ability to overcome Covid depends entirely on the people. We know what we should or shouldn’t do. Beyond that is individual choice. It is better Americans die being idiots than live being forced to act a certain way. That some die because of the stupidity of others is the price we pay as a nation for freedom. Who is president has nothing to do with it, unless that president is forcing society to act a certain way, which I think is worse than having increased death from Covid.

    A party which consistently looks down on its own voters and cheats them so openly as the Democrat Party has PROVABLY done does not deserve to exist. The communists took control and it's like watching snakes on LSD to try and make sense of that party's policies.

    Why the violence? It's all they have. Otherwise the Dems would rein them in.

    The party's desperation this cycle is exacerbated by the weakness of the Biden candidacy even WITHOUT the virus alibi to excuse his infrequent public contacts. They know they are going to lose because people don't have to see the rioting to know it took place. Just because it may have toned down or even stopped altogether does not mean the damage and public inconvenience did not happen.

    Intelligent voters do not forget. These were the people who burned Seattle, Minneapolis and other places having nothing to do with four cops and a drugged-up counterfeiter.

    You are correct. Also notice that the poster didn't deny anything, but instead focused on the shallow nature of people to the extent that they won't CARE that once again the Dem Party's leadership and their media outlets encouraged the eruption of violent events throughout this nation. It's the certainty that people will never catch on, and nor care if they ever do catch on, that is stunning and indicative of the root core contempt that vast numbers of Dem Party radical types have for citizens in general.

    I doubt the Democrat party has a clue how many of the old guard mainstream Democrats are repulsively turning their backs on Democrat party leaders. The party firmly but wrongly believes that Twitter is representative.

    I've been asking these questions on-line for 20 years now and I can truthfully say a LOT of leftists don't deny, they just evade. The theories vary on why.

    Some say it's like when those ships with soldiers first came to a tribal land, the natives simply could not see them, could not comprehend anything so alien to their own experience. In short, liberals blindly reject what they are incapable of thinking through.

    Others say liberals can not comprehend the truth, also alien to their experience. Thinking plays no role in the process: it's muscle-memory rejection followed by convulsive vomiting of prefabricated doctrine.

    (O/T: can't get that 1940s expression "Greetings, Gate" outta my mind. Showin' my age...)

    Yep, every time they promote and essentially sponsor violent rioting they lose old guard members, who've finally gotten tired of perpetually turning a blind eye to the increasing radicalization of their Party.

    I would say something about the pervasive nature of intense political indoctrination starting in grade school and constantly reinforced by leftist generated television, movies, and media outlets; but the last time that I even suggested that the average Dem Party member was indoctrinated I received a warning; and so I shan't do that. I might THINK it, but I won't state it as an actual fact. That's still legal, right?

    I was a senior in high school when they first allowed the use of calculators in classrooms. Not computers, just plain calculators. Since then cursive handwriting went the way of rote-memory multiplication tables and so did phys-ed or recess-activities to tame the little savage beasts. (I was one. I know these things.)

    When History and Geography gave way to Social Studies, the homogenization and dumbing-down began. It has not ceased. Political correctness has killed critical thought and the ability to reason even simple issues. Academia has produced an entire new generation of teachers who never left academia at all, immune to real world circumstances. They are the supporters of campus clamp-downs on free speech. They do not want opposing views to conflict with their own pronouncements from on high.

    I was impressed with C-SPAN's coverage of the Cavanaugh hearings when a pile of people calling in on the Democrat line said how they had voted solid Democrat for decades but now will never vote for another Democrat.

    Hillary had victory in the bag Nov. 2016. Verifiable fact.

    I think that their optimism is philosophically related to Socialism and Marxism. It's always this time it will work! Then after it inevitably fails they bellow as a group, it wasn't REAL Socialism/Marxism! Same thing with the cooked leftist polling showing Biden so far ahead that Trump supports shouldn't even bother voting. They tried that same political propaganda route with Hillary and it failed and so now they are ressurecting it to try it with Biden . . . but this time, the blatantly obvious political propaganda tactic will work! Just ask 'em.
