Why do you think that is? fionwe1987 Send a noteboard - 07/10/2020 06:28:54 PM

Why do you think people are paranoid? Would they be if they could trust that their fellow citizens were doing their part to mitigate transmission? Would they feel more like a group of people working together to contain a natural disaster, perhaps, if their President and his party didn't subscribe to unscientific blather and insist there was nothing wrong going on at all?

There is a cost to being gaslit like that by people in power. Maybe you don't see it because those people have political positions you agree with.

Even Ginsburg was no fan of how Roe v Wade was decided. The Shrike - 05/10/2020 08:44:56 PM 255 Views
I wasn't necessarily a fan... Jeordam - 05/10/2020 09:49:53 PM 287 Views
Now do Chevron Roland00 - 05/10/2020 10:54:28 PM 203 Views
No. Outside of the scope of Jeordam's example. Do what you want elsewhere. The Shrike - 06/10/2020 12:03:39 AM 257 Views
Why would the GOP... fionwe1987 - 06/10/2020 12:58:08 PM 272 Views
Are we going to start going back further? Then lets talk about the Dems starting all this with Bork. The Shrike - 06/10/2020 04:19:32 PM 246 Views
And? You think Bork deserved confirmation after what he did? fionwe1987 - 07/10/2020 12:55:52 PM 259 Views
I think you're still part of a problem rather than working to be a part of the solution. The Shrike - 07/10/2020 05:05:27 PM 237 Views
This would have more force if you actually had a solution in mind... fionwe1987 - 07/10/2020 06:25:39 PM 265 Views
I'll jump in Jeordam - 07/10/2020 07:39:02 PM 248 Views

No advice needed.... Jeordam - 07/10/2020 11:27:16 PM 230 Views
Amusing. You claim to believe in an Originalist/textualist reading of the Constitution, right ? fionwe1987 - 08/10/2020 12:53:16 PM 254 Views
Honestly? Hilarious. Especially after the whole "big giant mask!" thing at the debate. *NM* TyrReborn - 04/10/2020 10:18:06 PM 120 Views
They still haven't given up on that insane line of attack... fionwe1987 - 05/10/2020 01:29:20 AM 248 Views
Well they were still saying Biden was senile after that debate, so what can we expect? *NM* TyrReborn - 05/10/2020 07:37:35 PM 112 Views

Because he was discharged to a place that has better medical equipment than the average hospital... fionwe1987 - 07/10/2020 12:44:44 PM 272 Views
He wasn't even able to put his ego aside to use his getting sick to gain political points. The Shrike - 07/10/2020 12:45:02 PM 268 Views
But I don't think that people are in the healthy fear range... Jeordam - 07/10/2020 04:22:22 PM 255 Views
Why do you think that is? fionwe1987 - 07/10/2020 06:28:54 PM 261 Views
Fear is by its very definition, not logical Jeordam - 07/10/2020 07:37:54 PM 254 Views
Do you remember the infamous 'death panels' of the Obamacare debates? Legolas - 07/10/2020 08:15:03 PM 245 Views
I disagree Jeordam - 07/10/2020 09:52:05 PM 260 Views
That's in spite of all the attempts to contain it. You're talking about not trying that anymore. Legolas - 07/10/2020 10:15:12 PM 280 Views
If you want to bring New York into the discussion. damookster - 07/10/2020 10:27:32 PM 265 Views
It doesn't require any particularly stupid moves like that to get a bloodbath in nursing homes. Legolas - 07/10/2020 11:24:48 PM 265 Views
No, it is not by definition not logical. What definition of fear are you using? fionwe1987 - 08/10/2020 01:00:23 PM 248 Views
