Neither the Bush nor Trump Administrations were hotbeds of progressive piety. If they failed the basics of governance, perhaps we should look to the right-wing epistemic bubble and their willingness to elevate hucksters over competent administrators.

The Bush Administration absolutely was piously progressives. Iraq doesn't have a having a functional nuclear program? ME democracy would be a disaster? "What are you, racist?" The fuckups now have come from the permanent government - not the "administration".

Obviously the right wing has hucksters - but that's because the stakes are low and they don't govern even when (R)s get elected.

Well then keep your fucking hucksters out of our government. Some of us are capable of seeing and appreciating the difference between good governance and bad.

Covfefe Anon @CovfefeAnonSorry but quarantines are totally forbidden. There are alternate universes where people the people who caught corona didn't so the difference between infected and non-infected is accidental - not essential & you can't treat people differently based on accidental group membershipShow this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

When in reality it reflects your own complete failure to understand progressivism.

Disease is bad but quarantining people is worse because it reinforces stigma and xenophobia. This is progressivism - which is a death cult.

If that is actually progressivism and progressivism has infected our government at all levels, then how come the blue states have taken the lead in quarantining people and it was the experts in the CDC (not the Trump administration) pushing faster and harder for quarantines?

The FDA and CDC blocked testing when the disease could have been contained to a few foreign travelers (bad to notice - "disease" came from "foreign travelers") Once it's out of control it doesn't matter what CDC and FDA do - but they do still work to block unblessed treatments

And that had nothing to do with progressivism. Just like blocking quack, scam medicines isn't progressivism and also isn't a bad thing.

Of course it did - progressivism is always trust the experts and science and peer review - this holy mission has its earthy incarnation in the form of the FDA. Only horrid right wing subversives want to reduce the power of the FDA

I have doctors that I know and trust who will proscribe HCQ if I catch this disease and I'm smart enough and prepared enough to have stocked up months before you knew what was going on.
