I tend to agree with you.

Someone I am very close to, is so anti-Trump, she has stopped saying she loves me.

My sister, was a rabid anti-Trumper, but she went to Mass every day, worked {for free} in a prison, and she always said she loved me, even though we had extreme divergent views on politics.

When she died and had the final Mass, the warden allowed over 100 prisoners to attend her Funeral Mass.

I never saw any thing like it.

She was a good woman, but she was irrational when it came to Trump, and nothing logical would change her view.

I'd like to know her opinion today {if souls in Heaven know or care what is happening on earth}.

I busted my ass to get two whiny snowflakes through debt free to a degree- Yes they were forced to work and save, apply for aid but I did the heavy lifting. I even spent an all expense paid trip to SA for 5 months in 1990-91 when snowflake 2 was still in utero. I am convinced current situation is so far gone snowflake 2 would rat me out to send me to a re education camp in order to improve social credit score. Big friction source with my wife is I have cut them out of my financial planning. BTW son is doing well definitely not whiny snowflake-

Covid19 is no different than the WOT. It is a example of government overreach and reactionary behavior. We must give up our freedoms and that there is a terrorist under every bed scenario. That is covid. It is evident that politicians will simply spend money to fix the problems at hand. They fail to use plans and come up with ideas that create less problems for our actual citizens than what they offer.

“Why Are Republicans and Democrats So Divided Over the Coronavirus?”

Simple the RATS hate Trump and whatever he or his administration does, you can bet the RATS are on the other side.

A Republican could make a fool of himself on the issue and Republicans would not only defend him but subscribe to that folly.

I believe the AGW crap belied that opinion. Some Republicans believed it and stated so; they were soundly castigated by fellow Republicans.

I have to disagree with you, spetznaz.

There is no moral equivalency in this legislation, nor in what has been going on in this country since 1/20/2017...never mind since around 1990.

For the last two or three decades I have paid particular attention to what Leftists (committed Democrat voters and politicians) have wreaked on this country, and there is no moral equivalence between the two.

Surely, those on the right have proposed and passed things that have been bad for this country, done things that we disagree with or may even be openly stupid, but theirs amounts to a mole hill while the Left amounts to a mountain. The most evil things the Republican politicians have done is to go along and vote with Leftists instead of fighting when they should have done so.

Look at what was done with the Mueller Probe and impeachment, and now this relief bill. The biggest thing I saw from Democrats when they were threatening to block the bill was that they were angry that all kinds of Leftist crap they thought should be in there were not.

When they had their chance to add, they put in things like $25 million for the Kennedy Center, money to be used “assist migrants and refugees” ($350 million), unprecedented collective bargaining powers for unions, increased fuel emissions standards for airlines, and Expansion of wind and solar tax credits.

None of that has anything to do with the Coronavirus. But they shoved those things in, and forced a fight to get a whole ‘‘American Coronavirus/COVID–19 Election Safety and Security” or ‘‘ACCESS” Act that she proposed removed.

This section would impose requirements on states for early voting, voting by mail, required mailing of absentee ballots to everyone, ballot harvesting (i.e., having third parties deliver absentee ballots), online voter registration, same-day registration and other practices which undermine confidence in the integrity of the ballot. In these days of increasing threats to election security we should be moving rapidly back to in-person paper ballots, but this bill would be a radical step in the wrong direction.

And then Pelosi lied about it. Just lied. Openly lied. They had her on video maintaining “There is nothing in this bill that does not have to do with Coronavirus. Nothing.” And she said it repeatedly.

These Democrats are not people who want to fix a crisis, these are people who are desperately grasping for power and political advantage in a time of national crisis.

I think it has more to do with unfamiliarity with mathematics.

Because leftists are saboteurs during wartime and should be treated as traitors were in WWII.

“Desperate people do desperate things”!!! The Democrat Party is dying, their Media is dying,.....Joe Biden is finished, he belongs in an old age home with his wife, Jill serving him chicken soup!!! New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo is a nothing but a “BS” Bitcher, who did absolutely nothing but piss NY State money away on illegal immigrants, rather then to use Taxpayer, funds to prepare for a rainy day.

Trump will make mince meat out all of these Democrat low life, traitors and turncoats. And, if not...I can assure you America the nation republic, will die rather quickly, I hate to say this...but, I am glad that my wife and are “over-the-hill” and that we won’t be witness to the destruction of the greatest country in the world!!! American voters...it is simply your choice and your future!!!
