Again, those are words I have not used a single time in this thread, nor any thread concerning this viral outbreak. You can criticize my posts all you want, but there's no need to fabricate things I've said.

Its people like you and Alfonso as to why the media is politicizing this so much. Because people like you and him crave it.

You responded exactly how I thought you would "It's not me! It's the progressives!"

WRONG. What I crave is an end to media pollicization of this current potential health care crisis. And I also crave an end to the inane musings of people like you who blindly attempt to draw moral equivalencies where they do not exist. You are the guy who sees the wave in the kiddy pool and the deadly tsunami and calls them both " equally dangerous perturbances of water" . They are not the same. Telling the Screamy Orange Man Bad Guy to simmer the frick down is not the same thing as being the Screamy Orange Man Bad Guy. No matter how desperately you want to spread the blame equally to everyone EXCEPT FOR YOURSELF, calling for unity and cooperation across the aisle is most assuredly NOT the same thing as screaming about The Orange Man.
Now say something glib (your unconscious admission of defeat) and move on.

The political reaction isn't left v right, it's just CYA bullshite. One leader sees extreme measures taken and believes they must do the same.

"calling for unity"

The Cultural Left believes everything is political. Every aspect of life must face Marxist Deconstruction. Thus we have our first racistsexisthomophobic -US -President -caused - virus. That’s right, we live in an era wher you turn on your tv and instead of seeing the Fonz or Norm or Costanza, you see an angry panel of correct- thinking men women and other screaming about the racist xenophobia Of a pandemic because Orange Man Bad. We have reached Peak Progressive.

I'll leave my personal opinion on the matter out. Just curious as to why or better yet how does something like a virus become left vs. right. And for the record I'm a registered independent, just funny how everything has to always be politicized.
In politics, I guess everything is game... always trying to smear.
It's sad and media driven.

Why is this virus being politicized?

The administration banned travel to infected areas of China in January and was called racist for it. They were acting while people thought it was a joke and making fun of it.

they also ignored the CDC's moronic testing parameters that assumed there was no community spread

Since the point is thousands of feet above your head, I'll say it SLOWLY:
The President made a constructive speech. It was immediately met with the Marxist Deconstruction of our Leftist Democratic Party (The Orange man is racist and xenophobic). CNN and MSNBC immediately deconstructed it using the mind-numbingly sophomoric and idiotic terms that are currently en vogue with out Progressive Chattering Class.
I correctly diagnosed what they were doing and suggested they stop for the common good. I mocked the constant Progressive refrain that a virus could be racist in any sense. I pondered how our culture could be so stupid. And then, as if commanded by Mirthful Gods, you stumbled and bumbled your way into this conversation by personally demonstrating how stupid the culture has become.
You think that me using a political science term CORRECTLY and explaining why THEIR language is flawed and destructive, is somehow morally and intellectually equivalent to actually engaging in said activity on tv 24/7/365. By your logic, if I point at the monkey, I am the monkey.
This just makes you SLOW. Stop making me dumb things down for you. I'm glad we've reached this understanding.

The Democrats opposed the initial measures this administration attempted to make.

Not inherently, but when you do so based on information given to you by groups set out to destroy the administration at all costs, it certainly turns into it.
Trump has been working on this since it was just a China problem, while also publicly displaying calm and asking for the same. Meanwhile, the media that composes the majority of Americans' information diet has been calling him racist and incompetent the whole way.
It's the same reason people have been calling for him to be impeached since election day. It's not because they are informed, it's because they have been told to want it.

He doesn't care. Orange Man Bad. It's in the DNA at this point.
