I wonder how many people there are like me who considered themselves lifelong left-leaning Democrats and then were horrified by the left wing's reaction to COVID and now consider themselves to be centrists.

I wonder how many people there are like me who considered themselves lifelong left-leaning Democrats and then were horrified by the left wing's reaction to COVID and now consider themselves to be centrists. Sure Trump was still an idiot about the whole thing, but the hypocrisy, ludicrous grandstanding and outright panic from politicians and the media on the left was arguably worse. I'll never forget the NYT publishing articles basically cheering on the spread of COVID in the southern states because we weren't adequately panicking for their standards. In the meantime, my kids in South Carolina have been in school all year, there haven't been any serious consequences of keeping the schools open, unemployment is low and in general COVID has been no worse down here then in other places that banned people from going out in boats and commissioned posters of their self-aggrandizing governors. I miss level-headed people on both the left and right, but based on the reaction to COVID, the closest thing I saw was certain Republican governors in the South.
Trump is just a lame excuse offered by those who called him all the same things they called every Republican President or candidate since Nixon. Trumps only difference was a willingness to engage his critics instead of wishing they would go away. This just made them crazy. Which is what underlies many of the critics of Republicans.
Trump caused them to out themselves as what they always were.
I have been a registered democrat for over four decades but used to vote independent. Moscowdonnie was , in no way ,a typical repug , and helping russia to meddle in an American election cant be excused by any means.
I voted for Reagan but will Never vote for another republikkkan again in my life. Courtesy of drumf for bringing to my attention the fact that the repugs have sold US out completely.
And the quality about tRump that made 99.9% of the world despise him was that he ignored the constitution on a daily basis and had no ethics, morals or sense of reality at all. And didnt try to hide it at all.
You absorbed and assimilated your media indoctrination well, right down to repeating verbatim their focus group-tested talking points and even their hilarious late night talk show "comedians'" juvenile pet names and sophomoric puns.
You are the archetypal embodiment of why the democRat (!!!) party continues to exist despite half a century of nothing but policy failure at virtually every level of government, and no salient arguments to offer other than "the other side is [insert your -ism of choice here]."
Also, no one believes that you "voted independent" and yet can't resist the urge to refer to the hated opposition as "repugs" and "republikkkans." Why the fake post? You left-wing cultists can't even lie very well.
Cry all you want , I really dont care. I really would be concerned if you DID believe me , since you represent a group that refutes Truth and pushes Lies.
And your comment that the Party of Patriots ( Democrats ) has had " half a century of policy failure " is not based in reality , or Facts.
A Prime example of this being 19 out of 20 of the poorest states are Republikkkan led.
Showing without a doubt that the repug way doesn't t work. Plenty more examples as well but let's see how you spin this into
I think there are LOTS of us. I am utterly horrified at the collapse in media standards and ethics. I feel that the takeover of NYT et al by leftists children amounts to a full blown constitutional crisis. When the founders stressed the importance of a free press I imagine they were assuming that it would also be functional as such.
If you considered the " left leaning pols and media " worse than Moscowdonnie, you Never were a Democrat at all. That is a manufactured comment to try to convert Real Democrats. And all that praise of ignoring a pandemic that killed over 700,000 Americans is lower than pathetic.
I said Trump was an idiot about the whole thing. I'm not sure Cuomo, Newsome and Whitmer were any better, and especially the first two. I live in South Carolina and saw the local and state reaction down here and it was a lot better than what I saw from larger states on the national media. Your whole "left vs. right" mindset is exactly the problem. We should have higher standards than "better than Trump."
We , the Party of Patriots ( Democrats ) do. If you're unaware of this then you re enforce my suspicion that you were Never a democrat at all. A Democrat doesnt excuse Anti American behavior and claim that someone pointing it out is wrong.

This USfirst persons comments are basically solid proof that you, SilentCenter, are correct and the so called Left have mostly gone bat-shit crazy.
