> Trump's policies as well as America's general inability to follow rules imposed on them by government (many Americans ignored all covid rules), as well as the inability of American government to actually enforce many COVID rules, is the NUMBER ONE reason why the United States is currently dominating the world economy compared to countries that took stricter approaches to COVID.

You keep telling yourself that but those disastrous Covid policies did nothing to stop Covid. Instead it fucked kids, old people, businesses and communities all around the country. It was a massive abuse of government power.

A large part of this election is a result of those idiotic mitigations.

I completely agree with you. Not sure which part of my post made you think I support lockdowns. I don't. And that's my point. GOP governors did not lock down, and even in blue states where they did, many Americans ignored them.
