So now I'm a socialist?

lol . . . Not gonna lie. I kind of enjoyed that.

I don't think there was any way he was going to hold back the tide once the situations in Italy and Spain got ugly and the northeastern U.S. started rolling downhill.

But the memes tell me he's a fighter....

Maybe not but i would hope a potus could be the voice of common sense measures. He has access to more data and experts than anyone else and just let the scientists take over at the expense of the economy.

This. It is why even though I did not vote for Trump and he doesnt line up with me politically on many issues, I find myself pulling for "his side". Because there looks to be a deep state, whether it is formal or informal, it exists.

Can't tell you how many times I've heard people in the past couple of weeks start statements with stuff like "I'm not a conspiracy theorist . . . but what is wrong with people?"

You're backed into a corner once your experts claim 2 million deaths. As I said, dont know who would have had the balls to ignore that.

You are acting like one

You are acting like one

In what way? Provide an example of my socialist beliefs

No one. Governor Lee was very hesitant to issue safer at home order until all the Drs their pants.

You would. Jerk

I think that's exactly what happened. He realized that for all his optimism, he was about to be boxed in politically as Nero fiddling while the country burned down. I've said it over and over - there's just no blueprint for this and we've seen world leaders of every persuasion struggle to get a handle on this. It's just going to be difficult to combat a virus in an open society.

You are wasting time arguing with anyone who is on both sides of an issue. Careful you don't get yourself banned

But when you realize those models are ludicrous you push for a quick course correction. That never happened

I'd add option D - the self appointed enlightened ones who treat freedoms like currency.

It really is funny how people one here can't fathom the concept that somebody doesn't simply fit into one of two political extremes.

It happened to the extent that Trump passed the buck to the states. It was mostly self preservation and maybe even accidental, but it served to open things up in some places.

Going forward the plan has to be always have a plan that doesn't overrun the healthcare system and keep the economy open.

My stance has been very consistent throughout.

Crying about being called racist while throwing out the socialist/marxist label at anyone you think disagrees with you is the pinnacle of hypocrisy

I'd add option D - the self appointed enlightened ones who treat human rights like currency.

Option E:
Those who want their fears calmed by forcing others to comply 'wit ze orderz'.

The left is racist

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

the outrage from being right? He started out fine and then cowered when given the chance to lead. He needed to get input from more than just 2 people and then make an educated decision. Seems he wasn't really interested in doing that

Well I can't argue that. I guess he could've put a team together of 3 for closing and 3 for not and let them meet in the middle.

My assertion to the previous poster still stands

Well he only passed it when told he had to. But he could have continued to push instead of some crazy 3 step process

I dont disagree with you. But he has stressed opening the economy and is ridiculed when he has done so. He isnt responsible for individual states. What actual moves do you wish he had made?

We literally still have governors that arent discussing opening still.

And it's dumber than calling me a socialist or marxist
