We got a sliver of that already. When DeSantis announced his bid for the ticket, there was worse-than-Trump hand-wringing. If Trump does get another term, It’ll be 15-20 years before Democrats pine for the Trump years as they’re doing now re: Bush. If Trump croaks in office from a coronary, it’ll be less than 15 years for Trump nostalgia. 

Yeah, it could definitely swing both ways. Most of the Trumpers in my life were also enamored by Bush’s shoot from the hip style and the way he just told it like it was while we were all drunk on post 9/11 booze. Now they despise him as it’s all “YAY NATIONALISM!”

Then the lefties wanted him brought up on charges for war crimes yet now he’s viewed as a centrist folk hero.

Interesting times!!!

My preferences can beat up your preferences’ dad.

Biden handled the Afghanistan withdrawal poorly.

In terms of amount of people who died, Trump’s disastrous Covid response is much worse. 
I’m sure you disagree, though. 

Everyone had a botched response to the Coronavirus tbf, but the worse one was China, who did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to contain the virus when it started to spread, then becoming absolutely draconian when they realized the "rumor" wasn't a rumor but a real pathogen!

Also, more people died to the coronavirus under Biden than Trump!

IIRC they even welded apartment doors shut to prevent people from getting out. And they heavily doctored fatality statistics to hide the true numbers.

Seems like the countries that did the best were Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand.

What about one in Europe that didn't do lockdowns? Did they do poor?

Sweden did worse than other Scandinavian countries that had lockdowns. But had a lower fatality rate than here.

A lot of African countries did fairly well too. Probably because of a younger population, plus people take public health seriously because of the impact of HIV.

It was really bad in India. That’s another country that didn’t accurately report their statistics. But excess death estimates were in the millions :(

Might be in 2021, but remember that Harris wants to build THOUSANDS of homes.

Opinion | Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Knows How to Fix Housing - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

Plus, it's ILLEGAL to build public housing. And it's not cost effective even if it wasn't illegal Four reasons why more public housing isn’t the solution to affordability concerns (brookings.edu)

Note that this 2nd article was just before Biden was sworn into office in 2021

The state with the best COVID response was South Dakota. I went there in the summer of 2020 and it was a breath of fresh air. Also there were people wearing masks, and the hotel I stayed at in Sioux Falls required masks in the lobby. 

Florida did very well too. Though I believe SD was the only state that never implemented restrictions. 

Oregon wasn't quite as restrictive as WA or CA, but were a little more hesitant to reduce their restrictions. I've personally come a long way on COVID, I was pretty much a double masker back in 2020, it's why I AGONIZED over Trump or Biden. I did eventually vote for Trump, after running my mouth for weeks that I was going to pull the lever (Figuratively we are all vote by mail here.) for Biden.

China handled it very poorly in multiple ways.  As you said, they put some extreme measures in place and then when those were eventually lifted, they had a massive, massive covid wave in which their death toll was likely extremely underreported.  

It's true that more people died under Biden, but that's partly a time issue.  Trump was in office for about a year while covid was going on (or even a little less).  We had huge winter waves of covid with a lot of deaths in 20-21 and 21-22, while things have been better in the last couple winters.

Florida did well with covid?  Not based on the stats I remember.  But I suppose one could argue that it could've been worse there given their population is so skewed toward seniors.

Yeah, they have more seniors so they will have a higher death count. I think our definition of doing well with COVID is different.

I mean they did relatively well not taking away people's freedom.

Ok, gotcha.  

South Dakota was pretty much middle of the pack in terms of covid stats adjusted for population, despite never really having restrictions.  I think their low population density definitely helped them, and their citizens seem healthier and more likely to live longer based on that map that was recently posted in this thread.

Either ragebait or another thing they are trying to tie to racism. They tried that on roads, birds, and other forms of nonsense

Let's see if @iFred censors this or bans me for it.

First, make sure you read the full meme, especially these words:

“Now a pillar of white supremacist capitalism.”

When the left is talking about racism, they’re not talking about skin color and they’re not talking about individuals.

They’re talking about the system, and that system is capitalism.

They are calling it “white supremacy capitalism” not because of skin colors, but because they believe that capitalism created slavery in America back in 1619, and thus created systemic racism as a result of slavery.

Notice from Wikipedia how the woke left defines white supremacy

In academic usage, particularly in critical race theory or intersectionality, "white supremacy" can also refer to a social system in which white people enjoy structural advantages (privilege) over other ethnic groups, on both a collective and individual level, despite formal legal equality.

Here's how they define racism (dictionary.com)

A policy, system of government, etc., that is associated with or originated in such a doctrine, and that favors members of the dominant racial or ethnic group, or has a neutral effect on their life experiences, while discriminating against or harming members of other groups, ultimately serving to preserve the social status, economic advantage, or political power of the dominant group.

That's why they want to abolish the nuclear family 
1. Some families are more successful than other ones, which results in inequality. In general families that are white are more successful than those who are black
2. People put the good of their family first instead of the good of the collective
3. They also believe the children are private property of their parents

It's also why they consider hard work to be an undesirable value of white culture
1. Our Constitution promotes the values of individual responsibility and meritocracy (e.g. he who does not work should not eat)
2. The radical left believes meritocracy is a myth and every single disparity that exists between white people and people of color is solely due to white privilege and systemic racism
3. The also believe hard work is rooted in individualism, which promotes selfishness and greed. Instead people must work for the good of the collective (from each according to his ability, to each according to his need)

I'm not talking about all leftists, just the insane ones like Angela Davis and Ibram X Kendi and  some others who explicitly say capitalism is inherently and fundamentally racist, and we cannot be free until we abolish capitalism 

Remember the CHAZ/CHOP people wanted to create a new country and they had hammer and sickle flags. Who do you think their hero was?

There's also insane professors whose websites talk about communism and six steps to abolish the nuclear family. 

When Kamala Harris says everyone must end up in the same place, she wants a society where there are no rich and no poor and no disparities between white and black, majority and minority - "from each according to his ability to each according to his need". It sounds really compassionate, doesn't it. Imagine there's no religion to fuel culture wars, no need for greed and hunger, no possessions too.

In her dream world, everyone is mediocre at best because no one is allowed to get ahead or be exceptional. You cannot create equal outcomes without an authoritarian force, unless you know of another way to do it, which I'd be interested to hear about. 

Kamala's not necessarily a Marxist herself, she's more likely a useful idiot who thinks a society with no disparities and no poverty and no greed or hunger is possible to accomplish

My ideal is well-regulated capitalism. Unregulated capitalism is a disaster, as is communism. 

Also some of my personal heroes were on the far left. I find that people on that spectrum are best suited to critique and change society, but not to wield political power.

Like the unionists and labor activists in the early 20th-century who won us victories like the 40-hour workweek. Without those people we would have much worse working conditions.

Some of those people also had nutty ideas like anarcho-syndicalism (nice idea but no way it could ever work!). Yet they helped make some big wins. To me those people help capitalism from speeding toward inhumanity.

Apparently Harris responded to a question by Dana Bash about her shifting policy positions by saying while her policies might have changed, "my values have not changed".

So she's effectively saying that she is promoting policy positions that don't agree with her values, which in regular speak means her advisors are telling her it's best to say one thing even if she believes another. And yet we are supposed to trust that she will stick with her policies instead of going with her values when she gets elected president? Uh huh, sure, whatever you say lady.

Nobody should trust a thing this woman says. She is as phony as a politician could possibly be, and that's saying something.

Not only that, but the Dem line has been trying to separate the IRA from the Green New Deal and she botched that. 

And the best line of the interview so far, "we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time."

Apparently Harris responded to a question by Dana Bash about her shifting policy positions by saying while her policies might have changed, "my values have not changed".

So she's effectively saying that she is promoting policy positions that don't agree with her values, which in regular speak means her advisors are telling her it's best to say one thing even if she believes another. And yet we are supposed to trust that she will stick with her policies instead of going with her values when she gets elected president? Uh huh, sure, whatever you say lady.

Nobody should trust a thing this woman says. She is as phony as a politician could possibly be, and that's saying something.

That will get edited out by the time the "full" interview airs.

imo, wouldn't make sense for CNN to release that clip in advance if they're going to edit it out later.  The toothpaste is out of the tube.

It would be hilarious if you held Donnie Boy to the same standards... he says batshit crazy stuff every time he talks and you just ignore it.  🤣

Yeah... they aren't editing anything out.   She should just be doing more interviews.  She should go on Fox for that matter.    I have seen Hannity get schooled by the likes of Carville and Newsom because their extreme cartoonish caricature they paint doesn't hold up in a normal conversation with the other side.    On the other hand... Trump never fails to disappoint in that regard.    The more interviews the better from both sides.   Kamala will appeal to independents because she is respectful and can speak like a sane person.   Really low bar I know... but Trump can't clear that hurdle.

Tim, you know sometimes I just think about what's significant about the passage of time. And the significance about the passage of time, is that it's significant.

I think if you were honest you would be mocking Trump every day for nonsensical statements he makes even if you are still voting for him.   But we live in a world where complete craziness is ignored while every word from other side is scrutinized to death.  It's so intellectually dishonest and politically motivated.

That’s unremarkable compared to the standard Trumpian word salad.

Remove the political motivation and all the same people on here would be ripping Trump all the time for his nonsense.    Of course they would because all of them can speak more coherently than Trump.   Almost all people can.   But they are tied to him so they have to pretend it's normal.   Which is fine... but the irony with them picking apart words from other side is beyond rich.  They must be so happy and excited that someone else made a tiny mistake in phrasing.  😀

Man, I guess some people really have forgotten the past five years of Kamala Harris interviews and off the cuff press statements where she repeatedly said incoherent babble. I guess her recent extremely controlled, teleprompter speeches have really worked a number over people. No wonder she doesn't want to do interviews and remind everyone of how she really sounds.

Who.   Cares.  

Doesn't seem to impact the opponent.   Gibberish nonsense is apparently the way to go but no one will ever come close to Trump. 

And yes... Kamala should go on Fox.   She would get some respect and would be able to hold her own.

Personally don't care if Kamala is a one term president.   If she wins then Trump was also a one-term president.    And its best for the country that Trump disappear from the political scene above all else.   A Republican Senate would keep Kamala in check.  

Hopefully the Senate will be able to block some of the radical cabinet picks she has in mind.  Maybe people will have to get a whiff of socialism to know they don't want any part of it.

I agree, if Trump loses he needs to disappear.  I think if DeSantis, or a number of other solid Republicans, was the nominee right now they would be solidly ahead.

You have to wonder if the illusion can last long enough.  Eventually people are going to want to know what she wants to do.

I respect that, but I think we need somebody more hard core right now.  We have allowed the Democrats to walk all over us for too long.

At any rate.  I'm surprised PA isn't being talked about more.  Trump is polling solidly in that state and if he wins that it will be very difficult for Harris to win.  That's a huge wild card in this race.
