Teachers were high risk for getting Covid and spreading Covid. You are angry that thousands more teachers did not volunteer to die or kill their family members for your convenience?

Exactly. All of these enraged moms with COVID PTSD are annoying as F.

Hope you are enjoying the demise of democracy because your kids missed some school. It was a worldwide pandemic with a novel virus. Mistakes were made. You wouldn't have been any better. Now you've tanked our country because you were angry that stuff happens that no one can control.

Honestly you people still talking about the pandemic as though you learned something make me want to puke. People like you will be the reason many will die if we are unlucky enough to have another one, because you'll fight all public health initiatives because you "know better". You guys suck.

No other country closed public schools for as long as blue states in America did. It was a dumb move to do that. Kids are paying for it years later. And it's a big reason why Trump is president today. So it was very consequential, and people are right to be angry at the progressives that shut down public schools while keeping private schools, bars, restaurants etc open. It's indefensible and we have Republican rule as a consequence of progressive fanaticism from that era.

So, yes, it is worth revisiting. Progressives were the disaster that brought us the Trump disaster.

Trump lost in 2020, during the pandemic period. Trump is president today because the ere are more pedophiles and supporters of pedophiles than imaginable.

Washington, DC still has a 50 percent office vacancy rate and its workers haven’t gotten a COLA in 5 years because of the overreactions to Covid. Hundreds of people were murdered because of the uptick in crime after Covid as well.

There were people, myself included, that said that the overreaction to Covid in terms of overly long office, retail, and school closures would wreck American cities’ economies so much that a lot of them might never come back and that this would cause social ills (poverty, crime) that would eclipse the deaths caused by Covid. We were right and you can see that in DC today.

People who were demonstrably wrong think they have some sort of rationale for not profusely apologizing and never offering their opinions about anything again. They don’t. Be quiet.

Please recall that Trump was president when schools closed and remained president until January of 2021, when scholls remained close. So roughly 10 months. By the May of 2021 (merely 4 months into Biden's term), only 1% of schools remained closed.

Yes, it hindsight, Trump should have done more to reopen schools and prepared for that during the summer of 2020. Of course, he was quite busy manufacturing plans to launch the "big lie" and plotting to overthrow the government. I guess it is understandable why Trump didn't do more to help the kids.

Every single poltical debate doesn’t have to devolve into some tired defense or attack against Trump. People who resort to this have RFK Jr. level brainworms and aren’t serious people.

True. But PP did reference the fact that it was blue states. Which pretty much brings in partisan politics. Since Trump was president during the relevant period it seems to be a reasonable position to ascribe failures to the people in power, especially when those people claim to have near unlimited power.

This. Performance during Covid should be the filter for any office higher than dog catcher. So many obviously dumb things were done and there is zero contrition from the Covid zealots to this day.

Every one of those blue states were doing it to resist Trump. They literally thought if they hurt enough people it would hurt Trump somehow. Same logic behind the shutdown btw.

1.2 M Americans died of Covid during the official pandemic, and that's surely an undercount. My dad died last year - he had Alzheimers and Covid and never came out of the hospital when he went for delirium. His death was listed as "respiratory infection." What killed him?

Nobody owes you an apology.

Also, Trump has wrecked the economy more than Covid ever did, so I find this argument really disingenuous.

You voted for Trump to protest the Dem handling of Covid, nevermind plenty of GOP were around then, all for Trump to ruin the economy and dismantle the Dept of Education and stop cancer research for children and poison them with pfas. People are not only NOT getting raises, they're getting fired.

But, 100 people died of crime in DC -- which is a statistic you probably pulled out of your @ss.

yes, yes, yes

Virtual school was a complete nightmare for my then 7 yr old. But never in a million years would I vote for Trump or anyone like him.


The damage these parents have done voting the way they have is unconscionable. I am terrified about what kind of future my kids have with finding jobs and affordability with every aspect of life because of Trump and all the horrible policies.

Trump should build a memorial for those we lost to Covid instead of himself.

Not of, but with. A common deception by the lockdown zealots. Most of the people that actually died of COVID were in nursing homes. Which made shutting down schools even more insane.

And no other country had as many deaths as the US. Sorry that you survived? Or are you just sorry that more people in “essential “ jobs didn’t get sacrificed ?

Yet you’re fine with the attacks in this very thread on “progressives”?

Personally, I’m tired of politicizing tragedies— but some of you can’t manage complex discussions without politicizing and name calling.

Some of us live in multigenerational homes. My school did go in person in August 2020. I was terrified I would bring back covid to my mother who suffered from dementia. We all masked up, even at home, to protect her. I would get so angry when I heard of kids having sleepovers, and parents having parties while we were bending over backwards to keep our school community safe. Sure, maybe some protocols were pointless, but at that time, we weren’t sure, and it was better to be safe than sorry.

Some families at our school did loose family members, others got bad cases of covid. We had to re-invent our lesson plans because we often were teaching hybrid lessons. Teachers were burnt out!

Many forget about the low income service workers who kept showing up. They usually lived in cramped apartments. So many of them got sick and died. Often their customers would refuse to wear a mask, sometimes just to make a point. The lack of empathy was grotesque.

I ended up cutting ties with many people, after I realized they were unable to put up with being uncomfortable for a bit for the benefit of the community. They showed their true colors.
