    #1 is a half-truth; it means both to different people, in some cases both to the same people. #2 is, statistically speaking, accurate. #3 is wrong. #4 is something we've had to do repeatedly throughout American history.https://twitter.com/JohnJHarwood/status/1366042905568288771 …

        #3 is partially true (e.g., some states counting accident victims who’d previously tested positive as COVID deaths), but undoubtedly not all respondents who said “yes” had such a nuanced view.

        No it isn't; the number of people who've actually died is almost surely higher than official numbers

        “Polling” treated as a vague authority isn’t something I trust. Who gave the poll? What were the other questions in the poll? What other context is present?

        Covid deaths aren't exaggerated, but the media and politicians have intentionally been vague about how much of a mortal threat Covid is to the typical American.

        The Confederate flag is a symbol *largely about defending slavery. I think a lot of evangelicals need to acknowledge this truth. They have a hard time with it. It’s past time.

        Certainly how I view it. But not necessarily what motivates everybody who flies it.

        Depends what you mean by #3. COVID is a massive public health disaster with substantial excess mortality. There are still some people behaving as though it were Captain Trips or the Black Plague.

        I think 4 depends on whether your use of “force” is against fellow Americans. The problem with the GOP right now is there is a minority who believe that is a legit option.
