The pandemic has been raging throughout the world for about 9 months. Some countries are doing better than others like NewZealand, Finland, Iceland, Taiwan, South Korea. Then there is our neighbours to the south. The United States of America who pride themselves on being the greatest country in the world. And proceeds to tell us at every opportunity.
The pandemic has exposed the United States as nothing more than a third world at times. Racial reckoning, no middle class, people lining up for hours to vote. Having volunteers instead of paying staff to work on Election Day. I could go on, however, I think the point is made. There are rich states and poor states. Places you can go and mention the civil rights movement and people will go what civil rights movement. A country that cares more about the second amendment than ensuring that people have affordable let alone universal health care.
Politicians more concerned with ramming through an unqualified judge who will be a Republican puppet on the Supreme Court than providing a stimulus package for average Americans so they can pay rent, put food on the table and pay for medications. I am looking at you Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham and the Dumpster Fire in the Oval Office. You are all tone deaf. You have been in denial for months and the Dumpster Fire for his whole term. More concerned with lining your own pockets than the concerns of real Americans.
The Dumpster Fire is at the top of the list. He is mean spirited among other things. He doesn’t care about the American people especially his base. He only cares about people with the same last name as him. The other day he said if Iowa doesn’t vote Republican he will never come there again. You would have never gone to Iowa if you were not President. He holds massive rallies with no social distancing or mask wearing and than says I get tested every day I am fine. Well buddy. Every time he speaks he lies and he does it to rile up his base who he doesn’t care about as Joe Biden says “Come On Man”
His son in law Jared Kushner, no experience, no business training. A slum landlord who inherited from his family and married into an even more narcissistic family. Spouting off whatever comes your way because you thing everyone is beneath you and you are smarter than everyone and they will believe you blindly
Kim Kardashian West took her family and friends to a private island for her 40th birthday. Flaunting your wealth just because you can doesn’t mean you should. The whole family has made a fortune out of doing nothing. The first societal influencers. They have millions of followers trying to become influencers via social media.
Justin Turner LA Dodgers third baseman an arrogant self absorbed narcissist in every way. He tests positive for COVID during the last baseball game of the year. He is ordered out of the game and told to isolate. Instead he returns to the field wearing a mask and celebrating his team’s championship and then takes his mask off and sits front and centre for team photo. Thank you for the super spreading the virus.
Everyone I have mentioned is tone deaf, white privileged narcissists who only care about themselves. It is true during times of great strife people show their true colours. Some rise to the occasion and some sadly display no logic, conscience in their actions. I am looking at you the COVID deniers, anti maskers, anti vaccines. No one is going to tell me what I can and cannot do where I have to wear a mask,
The reality is the pandemic is with us well into next year. There is no going back to normal, there is a new normal with social distancing, mask wearing, following restrictions. Be kind to ourselves and others, respect ourselves and others. We are all in this together
