@derrickwainwright3746 there is Far more nuance still in early American history, going all the way back to Columbus. For example, Columbus was actually rather friendly to Natives in the Americas and treated them well. The things he is accused of were the crimes of others, many things which happened after he died.
The US colonies were settled by a wide mix of people and ideas. Each colony had its own culture, laws, etc. Something that was preserved post-US revolution with states rights. In some colonies, women controlled the family finances by law, for example. In other colonies blacks owned slaves before and after the US Revolution.
After the US Revolution many slave owners voluntarily freed their slaves, including in the southern states. It was a very small subset of the US population that perpetuated slavery after the Revolution, and that involves Significant amounts of nuance to understand how and why that happened.
Jefferson wrote the Abolition of Slavery into the Declaration of Independence, it was about a whole paragraph that explained what he meant in no uncertain terms. But the founders rightly and brilliantly decided that whatever went into the Declaration had to be unanimously agreed upon, so that the colonies were in agreement about the grievances against England, such that the King could not use any disagreement between the colonies to drive a wedge between the colonies and destroy their unity and undermine the Revolutionary effort by convincing some to give up the cause. Only 2 out of 13 colonies disagreed that the Abolition of Slavery was a sticking point for why they desired independence. 11 colonies voted that the King not allowing them to end slavery in America was a major reason for independence. But not unanimous, so it was removed. The story after the Revolution is won is far too complex to explain here. But it is far better than people claim. America tried desperately and overwhelmingly to end slavery from well before the Revolution.
There are other regrettable events in US history as well, but People my age and older were all taught about those moments in our history specifically. Such events like segregation, the KKK, civil war, native American rights and such comprised a significant amount of our history lessons. America has never tried to hide its past. But woodrow wilson did try to erase black history in America. Did you know the first double agent spy in US military history was a free black man working for General Washington, for example? The first female millionaire in US history was a black woman.

@BeyondSideshow Trump cutoff travel from China, Democrats complained. Trump cutoff travel to Europe, Democrats complained. Democrats (and Fauci) said masks were necessary, that asymptomatic transmission has never driven a pandemic, and that we should go to parades, restaurants, protests, riots.....
CDC, State, and International data shows that herd immunity is being reach around the 500-600 deaths per million mark. That's 0.05-0.06% of the population. And that's with known cases over counting. Seasonal flu are said to be about as high as 0.1% fatal overall. The CDC said 94% of all US deaths were in nursing homes. 94% of of deaths had multiple underlying health issues issues, each of which alone could have caused their death. Italy said 99% of their deaths also had serious underlying health issues. Sweden, the Democrats favorite "socialist" country, never locked down and they are doing just fine now. People under the age of 45 have seen essentially no appreciable deaths overall. People under the age of 25 have seen an abnormally low annual death rate this year in fact. Only about 10k deaths in the US were actually from COVID itself so far. This is all from the CDC.
1mil deaths worldwide is only 0.0125% fatality rate, WELL below seasonal flu.
Medical malpractice in the US causes the preventable deaths of about 125k people each year\, no one cares. Cancer kills 600k in the US each year, no one cares. Seasonal flu alone kills 30k-60k each year in the US alone, no one cares. Then there is pneumonia, and heart disease, etc.

@BeyondSideshow Those were not feelings, those were statements of fact. I wasn't expressing opinions. I was describing your response.
You accused trump of mishandling the virus, or lying to people. And you make excuses for why any facts I share are irrelevant, such as acting like what happened 6 months ago no longer matters, when you accuse someone of doing something wrong 6 months ago.
I'm not forcing you to refute my comments, but by making accusations and assertions, and then failing to back them up when challenged on their with actual facts, means you lose the argument by default. That is how debate works. You can choose to ignore me, but you don't, so I can only assume you wish to defend your statements and accusations and try to convince me you are right.
If you understood the "Swedish thing", then why did I have to explain it to you? You described it as "Something utterly confused about Sweden...".
No, the US didn't do as well as we could have, because the Democrats in charge of major economic centers like NYC, LA, CA..... botched their Local response. NYC and New Jersey have some of the worst COVID numbers on the planet. They housed COVID patients in nursing homes for crying out loud. Yet, despite that, NYC hospitals never were overwhelmed. Many thousands of ventilators went unused and sat in warehouses. Military hospital ships basically went unused, and emergency military aid stations went unused around the US and were dismantled. We never got overwhelmed, which was 100% of the point of the lockdowns
Part of being a leader in the military, of a nation... is to know when you must order people to their deaths, when to tell small lies and withhold information to avoid panics, or to prevent needless chaos. History is filled with such examples if you look for them. No scandal here. A scandal is the Obama administration breaking the law and covering it up to use the legal system and FBI to go after a political rival. You can't know how to respond to a virus without info. You can only speculate what it Might be like based on past outbreaks and what we should have done in hindsight. But as data is collected, you adjust, again and again as necessary. No scandal in that, that is simply good leadership following the science.
