  • Preventable deaths from covid. Which is where we got when trump REFUSED to take any action for the health of this countries citizens.

    In Ohio we have/had Mike DeWine as govenor. Now, DeWine is a republican. And if covid never happened, I wouldn’t like DeWine in any way. I don’t agree with his politics. I don’t agree with his policies. In general I don’t support him.

    However, for the duration of covid, he listened to health experts. He put in place safety regulations and lockdowns designed to help every single citizen in the face of an at the time uncurable deadly pandemic.

    He put aside his ego. He put aside his political party. He put aside all the bullshit and did what was right WHILE HIS OWN PARTY MEMBERS THREW HIM UNDER THE BUS FOR IT.

    For that, I have to begrudgingly respect him for what he did. He put the human first at the cost of his own career.

    Meanwhile, trump let 1 million plus people die, and shrugged.









  • I use general reactions of society. If you see things like protests, societial movements, riots, demonstrations, ect, it may not be an exact number, but in general if people are mad enough to take to the streets, we know those issues are on the rise.

    And if everything is mostly calm, you know those issues aren’t the dominant issues of the day.

    It also is harder because the internet has changed society. Now issues can grow and gain exposure to a global audience instantly. So it’s no longer grassroots movements. Thats what made the million man march so impressive. A million black men, marching in suits, because they knew if they didn’t dress up they would be mocked as thugs, all without the media to help them, all organized this way exclusively through word of mouth. And they had a million men march with them.

    It wouldn’t be so impressive today. Now you can just post a thing online, the whole world sees it. Nobody gives a shit about clothing, and the march would be a petition online. And nobody would care.
