The US has officially surpassed 200,000 deaths attributed to Coronavirus which now breaks the worst-case scenario of the middle of the road predictions by the White House experts. Although the excess death rate for 2020 is significantly higher than 200K; the blame for this can go to right-wing governments suppressing numbers who encourage careless behaviour and now need to prove it didn't create mass deaths across the US. Can the US still be considered a western country with such a decline of common sense running the country? Europe has its problematic idiots who are preventing us from eliminating the virus, but they haven't been allowed to dominate the culture and rules as Americans have allowed them to do so in the US.

I hope Americans finally learn their lesson with this one and stop acting like "We're gonna fix all your problems! Only we can fix the world!" "But... you guys are doing worse than all of us... significantly so." "Nah! We just need to elect people with no experience in government to save you!"
I really hope this American mentality stops, and that they start trying to work with the rest of the world on global issues, not be the stupid kid in the class trying to lead the class project.

This about sums it up. America needs to realize that electing the dumbass reality TV star wasn't good for them. The only way it's 'good' is if you're super racist and hate poor people/women/non-whites/foreigners/non-christians....

but that's a rant for a different thread. 

They're also stupid when it comes to science. Did you hear they actually elected a climate-change denier to the highest office in the field of ecology or something? yeah. dumbasses.
