I think we're on our way to actually hit the predicted mitigated death numbers of 100k-250k. Already at 86,580. I think he's the only 21st century president to have this many deaths on his count.

Speaking of deaths, the right are using that as an excuse for not having mail-in voting. Something about that dead people can vote now. Funny huh?

Trump voted by mail.

The sane people need to vote Trump and the Republicans out before they completely destroy this country. 100k-250k dead isn't acceptable.

80,000 is where you draw the line. Isn't it.

No, there are almost 3 millions deaths per year in the US. I'd bet Obama has the most, given the slightly larger population than Bush had and the fact that life expectancy actually started declining during Obama's presidency. Trump will need a second term to preside over as many deaths, and there's a chance that he still wouldn't have as many deaths after 8 years as Obama did if much needed immigration reforms are passed and life expectancy continues to increase as it started doing again under Trump.

I wouldn't be worried about the liberals as much as the centrist dems and repubs. The liberals who dislike Trump are outnumbered by the centrists who hate him even more.

I guess the problem is that anyone who dislikes Trump is labeled as a liberal by a Trump supporter. This is problematic for the right as it forces any repub who dislikes Trump to align with liberalism. As much as the NeverTrumpers hate liberalism, liberalism doesn't harm the GOP as much as Trump does. Trump poisons it from the inside and causes the whole thing to rot.

Even if Trump wins re-election, he will be out in four years. When he's finally out, every Trump supporting politician will have to admit they fucked up by joining the cult. That's a pretty large chunk of the GOP that's going to be held accountable. Right now it doesn't matter because that chunk is too busy grifting to see the forest for the trees. But after the grift-ride is over, there will be hell to pay.

why do libertarians think they know it all?

[–] ultravioletx (10216) 4 years ago

Do they think they know it all, or is it just lazy politics? Letting the free market decide everything seems like the lazy way to cope with problems.

not sure but they sure do seem to have all the right answers to everything. have it all figured out. whats wrong with not knowing? i'm talking everyday people, not politicians

There's a huge difference between knowing and thinking you know. Libertarians have no idea how to solve the problem of having more people than jobs. Jobs are moving over to machines and AI. Any answer to that problem goes against libertarianism.
