Watching people in the USA wanting to overtly throw open the gates of damnation to glut Grandfather Nurgle is....an experience.
I'd point to the gap in Germany and South Korea as being leadership, and would make a pointed note that Bernie Sanders' idea of socialism is that his Presidency magically would disrupt the proteins that made Covid-19 exist and UHC would be an anti-viral by its mere existence. Someone might tell that to all the people in Italy dying of Covid-19, given that they've got a fairly solid UHC system.
If Sanders by some ill miracle had won four years ago the USA would be in the exact situation now that it was then, and the people saying 'kill the old folk so the POTUS gets re-elected' would be Sirota and company, not the National Review and Trumplandia.
