Well its like Nima and Adam said on Citations Needed, due to how they're responding to the virus and climate change they either don't believe in the science but just claim to, or they don't give a flying fuck about anyone.
Either option is not great
Trump's clownery isn't the main reason covid has been such a disaster in the US. He didn't help but the reasons are largely structural.
In a country that fails to guarantee the human right to healthcare, people are going to keep from seeking testing and treatment due to the severe economic penalties of doing so.
A country with weak labour power and insufficient workers' rights that doesn't guarantee sick pay will see people forced to go to work with symptoms and infect others.
In a country where denying science has become socially acceptable because politicians could gain from feeding religious fanaticism people are going to disregard the advice of medical experts and rely on conspiracy theories instead.
In a country built on rugged individualism and childish consumerism people are not going to accept being inconvenienced even the slightest in the cause of the common good.
US state ideology kills :amerikkka:
Actually it's -$400. Trump gave us $1800 total, Biden is only offering $1400.
The difference between Biden and Trump? People are getting a smaller check from Biden.
Hillary would have “held China accountable” by sending like 2 aircraft carriers to the Taiwan strait already, like her husband in 1996.
Hillary probably would have been better. She’s a neoliberal psychopath, but would be more like Trudeau or Johnson (direct monthly payments, government subsidizes wages, etc.
Edit: she also would have started a war in order to change the narrative away from Covid, so not saying she’s better all around lol
If President Biden and a Democrat-controlled legislature gives you the results we're seeing now, I have no reason to believe President Hillary would have been any different. Democrats could have come out swinging in January with a relief package like that. Going from Trump straight into full-on income support would have secured Democratic support for a generation. Instead, they're arguing over how much they should shrink the pool of people eligible to receive a one time payment that's less than they promised before the election. Hillary would have left us all to die just like Trump did.
Trudeau would probably have done far less if the Libs had a majority and weren't depending on the NDP to stay in power.

If this were a film subplot, people would have claimed it was too ludicrously stupid.
He's going to fucking kill my Mom and Brother. If my brother has to go to school, he should just get a GED.
