Ah typical love it or leave it nationalist bullshit from the right. Call out our failed nation and the response is leave like we're just going to be granted citizenship in nations run by responsible adults like Canada, Denmark, Germany, or New Zealand.
It's not nationalist, it's reasonable. You expect the nation to change into what you want, then get angry when it won't.

Oh yeah it's reasonable to say get out of the country if you don't like Trump dicking around for two months and constantly lying about how everything was under control and would go away soon instead of actually preparing for a pandemic. And now our Dear Leader has gotten 66,000 people killed. Of course I'm fucking angry, the fact that you're not is sickening. I expect the richest nation on Earth to have competent leadership when good peoples' lifes are on the line and instead we have a 73 year old child who just throws tantrums to the press and then McConnell is almost as bad. The fact that he's holding up any more SARSCov2 aid packages until he can get blanket immunity for large companies forcing their wage slaves to work in these conditions without the ability for them to sue their owners who are hunkered down at home away from the line of death marching across this country gives new significance to his nickname The Grim Reaper.

Is there some reason you are talking to me about Trump, Right-wing defenders, and the GOP? I made ONE post here and none of that relates to what I said or what I was responding to.

What does that have to do with my comment about people here sharing Chinese propaganda without shame? CNN and the CBC got pilloried for doing exactly that. Anyone doing this deserves ridicule/shame for being so easily manipulated.

When hal2kilo cluelessly challenged others to point out the falsehoods he accidentally revealed just how easily manipulated some here are by self-serving propaganda from Communist Chinese state media. Don't be a stooge.

Everything they said about the US is true though, so I think the video has some comedic value. Yeah China created this and then has been telling nothing but lies since, but I'm so sick of the 30% blaming every one of Trump's long list of failures protecting us in the pandemic on China like we didn't all know how shitty of a nation China is and has been for 71 years now.

It's funny because Trump kept pretending it wasn't shit. The GOP early response to the pandemic:

1. Cut off some air travel from China
2. Dump stock before the Dow crashed
3. <crickets>
Where's the part where they profit off states bidding up PPE?

LOL. Fuck China.

I hope the world is smart enough to stop allowing China to own all the drugs, chemicals, PPE Markets.

It was indeed eye opening that they have that much under their control. We need to stop that crap now. It is much better to pay more and not be at the mercy of another country that obviously don't give a shit about you.
They dont own that stuff or control it. It's just that we can't be arsed to make it for ourselves!
That is totally our fault not theirs!

A lot of the criticisms I see of the way China handled this just seems to be ways to distract from the appalling ways we've dealt with it.

No anger from Trumpists? Those guys with AR15s in Michigan look kind-of angry to me. The Tea Party seemed to be all about anger. Maybe it's the Republicans who need to leave, instead of trying to change the country into what they want?
Maybe they should all have moved to Russia instead of electing Trump?

I could be wrong, but I don't think any of those groups want to fundamentally change the country. Most of them seem to point at the constitution and say "we want this". That's a valid position. It may or may not be a good position, but it's valid. Pointing at another nation and saying "I want the US to be that" isn't valid. That's not what the US is, though it's what it might evolve into. The fundamental flaw seems to stem from ignoring that the US is a constitutional republic. Any state could enact most of the changes you want, and some are moving in that direction, that gives you the choices you want. But the idea that every state has to conform to your ideas is ludicrous.

Which explains how we had 100 years of Jim Crow. I heard he's been on a comeback tour.

The Republicans' corporate overlords will NEVER allow that to happen.

Only a fool trusts the CCP...even when they're right...as they more or less are in this video. (although much of their malfeasance is covered up in the telling of the tale)

The only thing China got us good with was covid19. They got the rest of the world as well. Now you applaud their laughing at all the people they killed.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
What the fuck is wrong with you? OP accurately points out, how muck of a joke this country has become under this President. It's sad but true yet people are still in denial. We let this happen to ourselves. We deserve to be mocked.

Yeah, because nobody in US history has ever wanted to fundamentally change the country!

(And that George Washington guy should have just moved to France. )

Your country only exists at all because somebody wanted to fundamentally change the country they were in!

Wanting the nation to give a fuck enough about its people to not lie to them about and ignore a pandemic is apparently incompatible with the constitution according to Greenman and his extra chromosome. And we don't deserve to be mocked, as Americans we voted against Trump by 3 million votes. We didn't elect Trump, the electoral college built to protect the power of slave states elected that piece of shit.

Why don't you just leave if you don't like our economy being beholden to China?


Because we are going to fix that shit. I really don't think things are going to resume back to the way it was with China before this.

I'm not going to sit around with my thumb up my ass and cry about it.

Trump didn't kill them. The virus did. It would have done the same regardless of who was in office.

Bullshit. South Korea only has 250 dead because they took it seriously from the beginning while your boy called it a Democratic hoax and lied to the people about how it would soon go to zero. Give me a reason why it was good for Trump to lie about a pandemic.
