COVID, Politics and Me

Unlike Donald Trump, I'm not the smartest person ever.

Myers Briggs says I'm intuitive. It says I'm the most intuitive ever.

Our two party system is broken. Dangerously broken. Too many people are voting for X because they hate Y and vice versa.

It causes great amounts of dangerous conflict. People who grudgingly vote for X to defeat Y are doubly upset that X doesn't win. Instead of having someone in office they can tolerate they are stuck with someone that they hate. Then there are the people who actually love Y and are completely not empathetic (or intelligent) in their defense of Y because they love him like they do God and he's beyond reproach. He's perfect.

COVID has brought this to light in pandemic proportions. Y has completely mishandled the pandemic. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together can see that. Unfortunately, you still have the people who blindly love Y are staunch in their defense of Y. They love Y so much they blame the previous X for today's problems (which makes no sense).

Okay, I'm going to quit using X and Y. It has run its course.

The President should be able to control the media. Sometimes with diplomacy. Sometimes with manipulations made behind closed doors. Sometimes by being a respectable human being. I firmly believe that. If you allow the media/press to get under your skin, you should not be the President.

I believe America overreacted to this pandemic. I believe we could have handled it with some guidelines and safety measures, but without the shutting down. The fact the local governments shutdown businesses over a virus is a huge overreaction. This is America. You educate, you calm, you encourage, but you don't dictate.

The leadership of our country, the President of the USA, should have seen to this. He should have put guidelines in place before it was too late. He could have calmed the masses. He should have lead by example. He should not have bickered with the press. He should have put his pride aside and focused on the bigger picture.

No one is to blame except him.

And, before the lovers get upset, Trump agrees with me. Image may contain: 1 person, text
