Newest Covid Scapegoat.......... tha chrrrRIIIIIIIIIISTIANS!!!!!!
- Thread starter launch
- Start date
"Donald Trump rose to power with the determined assistance of a movement that denies science, bashes government and prioritized loyalty over professional expertise. In the current crisis, we are all reaping what that movement has sown."
Anything specific to argue over in the lede?
Sounds like the lib playbook.
Men can have periods, Trump is a Nazi, It’s her turn.
Lol. And that has what to do with Wuhan Coronavirus?
Since you mention science denying, how many genders are we up to now?
Trump rose to power behind a movement that didn't want to see Hillary Clinton in the White House appointing more liberal judges. Anything further is simple projection.
Oh my, I'm shocked! Nothing new here...bible written a couple thousand years ago says this in general.
Serious question - does the Trump base readily accept his take on an issue over and above those who represent the science? If the answer is yes, then to some extent that contributes to the relative lack of early urgent action in responding the crisis. Seems a reasonable topic to discuss.
Now do atheist Europeans.

Maybe we could correlate atheism against infection rates - you take Spain and Italy. I'll take Denmark and Sweden. Go!
Let’s take a moment to review what all those Christians did to bring this plague down upon our heads:

Did not realize that this was a debate about Chiner.
Not sure how I made that mistake....
I see you did your research. Me too.
Where else should we compare spread and rates of religious adoption? Or are you pretty much done with that line of discussion?
To be clear, I am not blaming Christians - don't martyr yourself over that. Rather I am suggesting that Trump gets a wider berth from his base because a reasonable subset are Christians. Not sure why that is controversial.
Lololololololol
The debate is a ludicrous article published by what is supposed to be a legitimate news source claiming that evangelical Christians here in the US are to blame for this rather than the people who are actually to blame for this.
Try to keep up.
No, no. Apparently there is a huge evangelical population in China we didn’t know about.
Not if you enjoy comfortable lies targeted at the stupid.
Bahahahahaha haha. Why are we comparing anything? It’s a ridiculous argument and that’s the whole point.
You’re not blaming Christians but yore dying on this hill over an article blaming Christians?
OK
"Dying on this hill" - dramatic aren't we.
I think it is interesting to compare how different cultures, different governing structures, etc will have responded. Not everyone wants to go meta I suppose.
The Bible speaks clearly about plagues and pestilences. Christians knew this would happen. It's the leftist dark side dwellers who were in the dark.
I am sorry, did someone assert the ONLY reason the virus spread was because of Christians? I missed that one. Huh, that seems stupid. Nuanced discussions not your forte, noted.
I don't get the science denier piece. I understand that the Global warming alarmists have labeled anyone who questions global warming with that moniker, but its just proof of that the opinion piece is a talking point and nothing more. The left denies science as much as the right does, just in regards to alternative topics (aka biological gender). I won't argue the bashes government piece. I'm not sorry that all middle America was tired of being lectured to by coastal elitests who think they are superior to anyone who works a blue-collar job. And loyalty over expertise? I disagree. Trump expects both, and expertise without loyalty is a recipe to get fired at any job in America, (even Google).
Can you point out some of the lies. I read it fairly quickly, must of missed them. That or I would one of the stupid ones.
And there it is. Just can’t help it.
I personally would not assert that ignorance is exclusive to one sect, one geography, or one political group over another.
My reading of the Opinion Piece wasn't that loyalty over expertise was about who worked where or for whom, but rather who one trusts for advice. As a loyal and true Oklahoma State fan, I won't be relying on HCMG or even the second coming of Mason Rudolph Spencer Sanders for advice on social distancing. Yet there is ample evidence of a certain part of the population taking advice from Tump over Fauci and another that get's their advice from Evangeline Lilly vs. stopping and thinking about the death of Wenliang. That last one was the beginning of my wake up call.
So does the Gita. Imagine that - ancient texts filled with stories of plagues and pestilences.
You are speaking to the whole article which I don't claim to have read. I was only arguing the "lede" as you had asked for.
My post simply addressed the 3 bullets from the lede: Denies science, bashes government, and loyalty over expertise.
You’ve run with every lib fairytale.
Right down to black trans murders.
Every single one.
That’s a pretty wide berth you give.
Elaborate on that one. Only been coming here since Thanksgiving.
Ah. I just remember when that was a narrative for awhile and definitely one he would jump on.
