“Covid was overplayed”
A million dead Americans is “overplayed”?
‘The shots were ineffective”
At the peak of the omicron wave you were forty times more likely to be hospitalized if you hadn’t been vaccinated.
“Lockdowns were useless”
The lockdowns stopped the exponential growth of hospitalizations and deaths.
“The borders need to be closed”
Yeah we closed borders from Europe in 1924 and six million Jews perished as a result. Closing the borders now would destroy much of the US economy.
“The economy is going to tank”
People have been saying that since Biden took office. But unemployment is at or near record low peacetime levels, the stock market is at an all time high, oil production is higher than any country has ever had at any time in history, and inflation is lower than almost every other first world country (and is even negative for some economic sectors).
“College encourages extremism”
Disinformation like your post encourages extremism.
“Ukraine is losing the war”
Because pro Russia Republicans won’t support it, preferring that Putin take over Europe and continue to fund Iran.
“The list goes on”
Indeed there is no end to the lies that the MAGA crowd puts out.
