Kid says we need to consider what would have happened if we'd done things differently to evaluate what happened more effectively.

The death total would have been halved had we acted 4 days earlier says this study.

We also need to consider who our enemies are.

Yes, enemies. Not opposition. Not concerned citizens. Enemies - people who are threatening us, both indirectly and, at times, directly.

People who are threatening me.

Former President Barack Obama on Friday said that the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus pandemic has been an “absolute chaotic disaster” and blamed it on a “selfish” and “tribal” mindset that has become operationalized in government.

“This election that’s coming up on every level is so important because what we’re going to be battling is not just a particular individual or a political party. What we’re fighting against is these long-term trends in which being selfish, being tribal, being divided, and seeing others as an enemy — that has become a stronger impulse in American life"

Why?

America should have paid attention when he was president.

Interesting that current President Thinskin feels compelled to always discuss "yesterday's news."

I think it would be illuminating to determine the percentage of Red's  total posts that obsess over 2016.and early 2017. 
And why you do not.
To understand the pure evil of the Russian hoax you need to study how it began. Hence 2016-17.

Trump became a hoax billionaire and businessman under Russian control way earlier than that. You have to go back to the eighties to see the Russian hand start working it’s way up trump’s nether orifice and start to take control of his lips. You are right that the Russian hoax that republicans (and only republicans) believe about trump and his independence is pure evil.

I see how it lines up well with your evil in buying and selling the same exposed hoax today.

Anyone who cares about our country should speak out honestly about the inept and corrupt moron who currently occupies the Oval Office.

Only a moron thinks Trumps handling of the Covid crisis is anything other than disasterous.

His bumbling ostrich style head-in-the-sand, anti-science, gut feeling approach to the crisis lead to needless death and suffering and the greatest economic disaster in our history,

He is a proven failure as a leader or a uniter. 

why anyone with a functioning brain would want him to handle any large-scale national times of crisis that called for planning and intelligent leadership is a fucking fool. 

He is a disaster and a danger to all of us.

If trump hadn’t told his first official lie by taking the oath of office, it’s possible Obama wouldn’t still be leading the large majority of this nation. It would be unlikely but still possible.

Speaking of the chaotic and selfish,
