Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@silbasa  
Given that the EU is a third more populous and its population density almost three times higher than the US, I think you’re still less likely to get it if you don’t have Trump (or Bolsonaro) as your president.

@Ereiam  
EU leaders have done everything people in this thread lament Trump for not doing and its still spreading like wildfire over here. Look up and see the world for what it is.

@silbasa
 
It’s like Erieam said. Europe is three times more populous and densely populated than the USA. So if you can’t deduce a statistical value from this, or if you want to recognize the fact that the European measures have essentially prevented even worse things from happening, then you really can’t be helped. Sorry. ;-)

@silbasa  
Not saying it isn’t still spreading, just that the EU still must’ve been doing a better job to contain it that the US, considering our death toll remains proportionally 20% inferior to theirs, despite the higher population density favoring the spreading.

@DarkObsidian  
If you dont see for yourself but choose to fall in line with the narrative, then… ;-)
 
@Ereiam  
Oh it spreading. Hundreds of new cases every day. Full lockdowns imminent. Hospitals filling up. There is a small hope the vaccine can help but still… Even in a country as sparsely populated as Norway, spreading. We cant stop it anymore and god knows they tried.
 
Orange man bad to blame for everything narrative dont hold up! Virus will be virus ;-)

@silbasa  

 
DarkObsidian’s right, there’s no helping you…

@Ereiam  
Nope.

@silbasa  
It’s not something to be proud of.
 
Plus, you know, there’s kind of a difference between a government doing their best and it still not working and a government talking the virus down at every oppirtunity.

Trump admin hires former Trump speechwriter fired for ties to white supremacist to oversee Holocaust memorials
 
Literally can’t make this shit up. Oh wait, surprising nobody, after his firing he became an aide for Gaetz.

@Latecomer  
279 827 - 250,000 = 29827.

@silbasa  
…yes?

The vaccinations will end this pandemic soon.

People like: “yes the vaccine will help” and do it once and fuck off and I’m just like,
 
“yo, you gonna take that again every six months?”

@Latecomer  
To be fair, I’ve seen the same people online who were trying to pin the coronavirus all on Trump shrug their shoulders and mumble “Well, it’s hard to deal with,” when the European governments they idolize start to struggle in some of the same ways America has.
 
Trump has exacerbated the situation, because he’s a bullshitter and has never had any interest in using government power for the common good. But that’s no surprise, and I imagine even some of his voters (at least those who weren’t buried in conspiracy theories) knew better than to expect more from him.

@AaronMk  
You mean like the flu? Sure. Some folks won’t be able to get it until next spring anyway, and with any luck by next fall it will be built into the seasonal flu vaccine.
 
What’s wrong with that?

@silbasa  

 
Truly you cannot be serious…
 
US Population - Population Density  
328 Million - 58/km2
 
EU Population - Population Density  
448 Million - 112/km2
 
 
Surely you understand the significance of these numbers as they relate to viral spread and your death stats…

@silbasa  
Except you neglect to mention that several European countries also had completely retarded quarantine strategies(see: Sweden)

Cope

@HeadlessHorselessHorseman  
The EU, as I understand it, has the same problem state governors have here: a limited ability to enforce travel restrictions against jurisdictions that aren’t taking this shit seriously. So no matter how strict of a lockdown you apply, as soon as it’s over, bam, in come the plague rats.

Turns out Rudy’s big plan to “fight voter fraud”, nicknamed “The Kraken” was to… blame Hugo Chavez and Cuba.

@Background Pony #CAEE  
I already told him that, brought to the same population, the death toll is 22% higher in the US, but at this point I’m convinced he’s just feigning to not understand. Wilful ignorance at its finest…

@Background Pony #CAEE  
When you think about it, isn’t democracy just a form of communism? Letting everyone have an equal voice in government?
 
This is America. We can’t allow that nonsense here.

@Background Pony #CAEE  
I thought you were lying but no that’s what he actually did

@HeadlessHorselessHorseman  
As I said - there’s a difference between trying and failing and actively anti-trying.

Trump’s latest lawsuit in Pennsylvania literally just says that the state should declare him the winner.
 
I really wish I could take this information back in time. I’d love to see the reactions of all the Trump dick-suckers here when they assured me that their orange pretty-boy would accept the results, and that he wouldn’t do anything remotely like a fascist dictator.
 
Well, who am I kidding, theyd of just flipped positions and mumbled incoherently about China.

@Background Pony #CAEE  
Rudy is new to this. And he is just a conspiracy theorist at this point.
