2016 was worse for America than 9/11.

Yes. Trump's failure during Covid was killing a 9/11's worth of Americans weekly.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 year ago

Republicans preventing the US from joining the first world probably kills more than that every week.

First, second, and third world country idealogy is outdated.

Well, the US has joined the second world now, but not in the way that the parent commenter means it.

[-] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Yep, we're now aligned with Russia.

Trump was already responsible for one 9/11's worth of American deaths when he refused to send aid after Hurricane Maria. Then COVID happened.

Edit. Added a link: You forgot Roy Cohn, the master snake.

The Heritage Foundation, Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan

As did Reagan and Bush I. And for that matter, a lot of their people cut their teeth under Nixon. Some cancers take a long time to grow.

Retrospectively? Would give someone’s left nut for 2016 murca and not fucking bullshit 2025 fucking Russia (the one between Maine/Alaska/Hawaii/Florida under the orange thumb)

Hope your kids never wanted to ski outdoors Heritage Foundation!

2000 was worse for America than 9/11.
