Collateral damage from REPUBLICANS Covid policies

14.8% unemployment peak     worst in over 75 yrs by wide margin

rise in unemployment from 4.7% in 2017 to 6.3% finish in late january 2021  -- unprecedented failure in modern US history

convinced half the population to resist vaccination and masking leading to a downward spiral for 790,000 deaths and counting to this very day  which they r  responsible for

And that was despite all the responsible nations who handled covid very well only suffering a minimal impact to unemployment compared to USA

States with the highest unemployment rate in the US in 2020 — did the state vote Republican or Democrat in presidential election  

Nevada — Democrat

Hawaii — Democrat 

California — Democrat 

New York — Democrat 

Michigan — Democrat 

New Jersey — Democrat 

Illinois — Democrat 

Rhode Island — Democrat 

Pennsylvania — Democrat 

Massachusetts — Democrat 

New Mexico — Democrat 

Washington — Democrat 

Any questions? 

You beat me to it.  I was just going to same virtually the same thing.

trump was gifted a humming economy and only 4.7% unemployment (down from 10%) and he managed to phuck-it-all-up and leave the economy in shreds and a disaster of 6.3% unemployment officially -- which is actually MUCH HIGHER when we include all those forced to drop out of the work force from collapsed business due to the covid which republicans allowed to spread freely, or to stay home with children

convinced half the nation to give utter disregard for health science and our world-renowned scientists  simply becauz they didnt like the inconvenience of covid and tried to wish it away

exactly !       the bulk of our unemployment numbers is due to the coronavirus which the republicans did almost nothing to stop or control , so much that business failed and massive layoffs -- all pointing back to policies from 2020 under the failed chump regime

States with the lowest unemployment rate in the US in 2020 — did the state vote Republican or Democrat in the presidential election 

Nebraska — Republican 

South Dakota — Republican 

Utah — Republican 

North Dakota — Republican 

Iowa — Republican 

Idaho — Republican 

Maine — Democrat 

Vermont — Democrat 

Wyoming — Republican 

Alabama — Republican 

Montana — Republican 

Kansas — Republican 

Missouri — Republican 

Arkansas — Republican 

Oklahoma — Republican 

Of course,  any rational person can see that fact.

Of course,  any rational person can see that fact.

Highest amount of Covid deaths by state — did the state vote Republican or Democrat in 2020 presidential election 

California — 75,211 — Democrat 

Texas — 74,682 — Republican 

Florida — 61,789 — Republican 

New York — 58,467 — Democrat 

Illinois — 29,710 — Democrat 

Pennsylvania — 34,107 — Democrat 

It is clear that Democrat policies destroyed the economy and lead to massive increases in homelessness, mental health problems, overdoses, unemployment, crime, massive government spending and a healthcare worker shortage. 

People like Trump and DeSantis could see the downside of the Democrats policies from the very beginning and tried to fight them. 

This is an indisputable fact.

62B. Favorability of Political Parties — Trump-Republicans
MODERATES said:

yep      this is an indisputable fact 

yep      this is an indisputable fact 

790,000 Americans have SUFFERED horribly, then DIED

from the viral contagion that trump and his accomplices downplayed
then allowed to proliferate throughout the nation, while openly
scoffing at health professionals trying to save lives.

*Millions more SUFFERED severe illness/hospitalization, but survived

trump's incompetence and criminal negligence has not only directly
led to the deaths of the majority of those 790,000 - but even worse
- his ongoing support of anti-science rhetoric and encouragement
for disdain of health professionals, their health guidelines and Democrat
Governors trying to save their citizens from the harm trump set in motion,
which in turn has created massive resistance to any mitigation measures,
and aversion to the very vaccines he DEMANDS credit for.

“Anyone who is responsible for 220,000 deaths should not remain the President of the United States of America.” — Joe Biden 

Joe Biden is now responsible for 380,000 deaths as President of the United States of America even though 198,000,000 Americans are vaccinated. 

unprecedented failure by the trump republicans

PRECISELY!   Rational/intelligent people don't "blame the firefighters" for the deaths *CAUSED* by the arsonists,  which is why the total current covid death count is all on the trump-republican (arsonists)

Mind you, that said, there might be members of the flat earth society and other tinfoil-hat-wearing lunatics who believe the firefighters must be blamed for the deaths caused by the arsonists, but I really don't believe there is anyone on this forum that stupid.  Other forums perhaps but not here.

Imagine how good Trump’s numbers would be if he had the benefit of 198,000,000 people being vaccinated. 

It would be incredible. 

We need to bring back President Trump. I’m curious to see who his next Vice President will be! 

agree with your last point as well     ive seen such stupidity on another forum too yeah  but surely nobody here

hey fubah , anymore to add to this list of collateral damage caused by republicans ??

Well, for one that comes to mind, I suppose it depends on whether or not you believe in fairness of representation for the American people, since Democrats/Liberals do slightly outnumber republicans/conservatives -- but one could make a strong case that the imbalance on the Supreme Court is collateral damage caused by the republicans.

from FOX NEWS:

GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw derides the republican House Freedom Caucus as 'Grifters' and 'performance artists'

Crenshaw accused the group of not being authentic conservatives, arguing instead that they succeed in grabbing attention just by repeating slogans.

of course    6-3 republicans majority is nowhere near representative of the makeup of America

so that qualifies as collateral damage caused by repos
