Meh, Fauci has been there forever and would have been crafting the same policy if the pandemic had happened to Clinton, Bush, Obama and now Trump.  The cheerleading would have been different, but the policy pretty much the same.  For all of Trumps blabbering, they pretty much stuck w what Fauci and Birks told them to do.  Probably as much as the other guys would have done

The reason I dont believe this is the case is that Trump was calling it a hoax and didn't take it seriously. I haven't seen anything from Fauci that seems he has never taking it seriously and never called it a hoax. Trump should have listened to his advisors. But as usual he thinks he is smarter than everyone else. It cost all of us.

Actually, Trump did not call the virus a hoax.  Late nighters and Twitter will lead you to believe that.  Washpo and others agree

Things were a bit divided before Trump.  I would say Clinton years are were it started getting past the point of civility

I never saw Clinton egging on gun toting racist storming a government building.

As I said earlier, this is probably not the place for me to debate you about gun toting racists

This is true. I can not think of one friend or family that has changed in 20+ years. They all know I avoid the topic best I can, cause its pointless if your going to defend wrong. This 19 virus is just another tool being used to further divide the two groups. I swear it feels like this.....just the whole country is 50/50 and its like worst thing happening.  Its like some group years ago wanted to destroy USA and started a plan. Its working. 

I think most are in the middle but lean one way or another.  We just aren't very vocal about politics.

It's the 80/20 thing.  80% of the country are pretty decent, middle of the road folks, no matter their political leanings.

You are using your real account and he is using a troll account.  I think that is reason enough not to debate anything with him.

Very true.  Personally I like to think when it comes to politics there is/are 20% on each side.  You have 20% left and 20% right and then 60% of people fall in various places inbetween.

Same account since I joined years and years ago.  I don't "block" people or whatever.  Just don't go to TB anymore.  They just wait on Bull to drop in and it is like a piranha attack.

They no longer exchange opinions, only insults.....and death wishes.  Anyway, back to the virus.  Here is cool mask.

This thread is very close to getting locked for good at this point. It's virtually devoid of productive conversation and has devolved into pure political sniping. Knock it the fug off.

No doubt came to read about some insight. Leaving wishing I had a gun with one bullet.
