I am leaving Galt Gulch
I have had enough! I feel so mad that Galt Gulch has turned into a sounding board for the Trump Campaign. I cannot in good conscience support an online forum that is used to spread misinformation about what is happening in America right now. The US is on the edge of collapse and should it come to past. It will be Trump who is blamed because of his incompetent COVID-19 response.
Even if the US come out of the current crisis as anything but a third world country will completely remarkable. Trump is no objectivist. He is in fact an "Orren Boyle". Trump is one of the worst offenders when comes to government corruption and always has been, but yet he is our president. Worse still, there posters who post shit that come from dubious source, promoting Trump and if you would believe it actually doing a good job in spite of the fact, the US faces the biggest economic crisis in its history and faced the worst outbreak since the Spanish flu. Trump can do no wrong on this website. I have had enough. No more of my money will go down this wannabe objectivist forum.

That’s a Genius concept Fred any other things that are Trumps fault?
Let’s hear your brilliant Objectivism explaining how Trump caused anti fa or the OFA. Or how Trump is responsible for Floyd’s death.
Negative about Trump: Peter Navarro and the trade war with China. Trump is right to not let the US be a pushover to China, but a more laissez faire approach would be more consistent with Objectivism.
COVID-19 response: He responded relatively early and isolated America from what could have been a whole lot worse pandemic here in this country. He probably overreacted, not underreacted, but governing is a lot harder than any of us realize. When I was a Faculty Senate President, one of the bigger issues that I had to deal with was supporting something I was personally opposed to because supporting it was the position that granted more freedom to individuals. I disagree with taking on federal debt the way that he has, but he probably governed as little as he could have in response to COVID-19. Would you rather have lockdown like China, or is it OK for an epidemic to run rampant?
If Trump had governed to any significant degree differently on COVID than he has, he would have been re-impeached and kicked out of office.
Trump is not an Objectivist, but he has navigated a very difficult 3.5 years about as well as anyone could have.
Put down you MSM and look around, its sunny and nice outside (if you ignore the MSM induced riots). Where I live, people think it’s a deliberate attempt to throw the election; people are getting on with their lives. I will always defend you right to free speech, I just won’t support you when it comes to woefully destroying an economy so that your voice may be heard. I’m done with folks like you, we need a divorce, hopefully amicably. You guys take California and New York, we’ll take everything else.
Goodbye, I hope you find your peace elsewhere.
You are also incorrect about this being the worst outbreak since the Spanish Flu... The 1969 Hing Kong Flu killed substantially more (populations adjusted,) The Asian Flu in the mid 1950's also killed more.
