This is a really good way of thinking of it. Diseases that haven't been cured YET! One of the crushing things that all of us Caitlyn readers have to deal with is that the window of time to turn things around is incredibly small because of the mentality of most of the people in the world. In the United States, 80% of all adults supported dropping bombs on Iraq in 2003 for absolutely no reason. 55% of white women voters chose Trump in the 2020 election!

But the way you think of it makes room for a huge amount of hope! Why? Because ALL of our problems are absolutely the result of meat-computer viruses. And computer viruses are very similar to REAL biological viruses. And polio was cured practically overnight!

As a matter of fact, because I was bo born in 1954, there were never ANY kids in my classes who had had polio. But there were MANY kids one class above me who wore leg braces for polio, had limps because of polio, and even my dear Joni Mitchell had polio.

But then it was over! Worldwide! OMG, I love your analogy!

"55% of white women voters chose Trump in the 2020 election!" - if only they chose Hillary. They'd be the healthy ones then.

Hillary wasn't even running. Are you really a bot? Hillary ran in 2016. Biden was the only choice because mathematically it was the only way to stop Trump. It would be morally reprehensible to allow Trump to hold nuclear weapons over all the children in the world, especially considering that their parents had no say in the USA election.

Oh, was it Biden? Then it's a world of difference indeed.

The troll even believes Biden is safer with the (edit: nuclear) football. Only true if we believe he'll trip and die fumbling for it. (edit) The sex offender/mass murderer of brown children (only in America would they go in that order) believes he just has to burn a candle, confess, and a few Hail Mary, and he's good to go toast us all. Trump doesn't believe in God, or rather Trump's god is Trump.
