PhilipIV Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 In a very generalized way i will say what i believe is just wrong with left wing politics: it undermines perennial wisdom. The consequence of this is nihilism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there did exist abolitionists who were overall very right wing. For example there were people (especially in the north) who felt that slavery of Africans was bad simply because it meant Africans would be around. They didn't want any Africans in the country at all. I believe Benjamin Franklin felt that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s progressive thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s progressive thinking. Slavery always seemed to exist in human history but the idea of using Africans as slaves was fairly new for europeans at that time. Africans were better adapted to the climate in the south. They didn't die from heat stroke as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benson13 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 1) In 2018 Trump fired Homeland Security Advisor Tom Bossart, whose job was to coordinate a response to global pandemics. He was not replaced.2) In 2018 Dr. Luciana Borio, the NSC director for medical and bio-defense preparedness left the job. Trump did not replace Dr. Borio.3) In 2019 the NSC’s Senior Director for Global Health Security and bio-defense, Tim Ziemer, left the position and Trump did not replace the Rear Admiral.4) Trump shut down the entire Global Health Security and Bio-defense agency. Yes, he did.5) Amid the explosive worldwide outbreak of the virus Trump proposed a 19% cut to the budget of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention plus a 10% cut to Public Health Services and a 7% cut to Global Health Services. Those happen to be the organizations that respond to public health threats.6) In 2018, at Trump’s direction, the CDC stopped funding epidemic prevention activities in 39 out of 49 countries including China.7) Trump didn’t appoint a doctor to oversee the US response to the pandemic. He appointed Mike Pence.😎 Trump has on multiple occasions sowed doubt about the severity of the virus even using the word hoax at events and rallies. He even did it at an event where the virus was being spread. Trump has put out zero useful information concerning the health risks of the virus.9) Trump pretended the virus had been contained.10) Trump left a cruise ship at sea for days, denying them proper hospital care, rather than increase his numbers in America.Repeat. We do not blame Trump for the virus. We blame him for gutting the nation’s preparations to deal with it. We blame him for bungling testing and allowing it to spread uninhibited. We blame him for wasting taxpayer money on applause lines at his rallies (like The Wall). We blame him for putting his own political life over American human life. I hope this clears things up."
