How COVID Pushed a Generation of Young People to the Right

Research suggests that pandemics are more likely to reduce rather than build trust in scientific and political authorities.

Pandemics might not initially seem to cash out in any particular political direction. After all, in the spring of 2020, one possible implication of the pandemic seemed to be that it would unite people behind a vision of collective sacrifice—or, at least, collective appreciation for health professionals, or for the effect of vaccines to reduce severe illness among adults. But political science suggests that pandemics are more likely to reduce rather than build trust in scientific authorities. One cross-country analysis published by the Systemic Risk Center at the London School of Economics found that people who experience epidemics between the ages of 18 and 25 have less confidence in their scientific and political leadership. This loss of trust persists for years, even decades, in part because political ideology tends to solidify in a person’s 20s.

I disagree. I think it depends largely on how pandemics are handled, but I do agree that the way the Left handled it around the world hurt them very badly. Aside from Sweden, who just left people alone to deal with the virus as they saw fit, they all handled it horribly.

And my guess is that the Left has learned nothing, per usual. They would still lock down the world economy and society like they did before, along with their myriad of lies and Constitutional overstep.

So, "Research suggests that pandemics are more likely to reduce rather than build trust in scientific and political authorities."

Do you actually know what that means? I mean you appear to disagree based on "feelings" and from a "political space" -- not very scientific or credible.

The pandemic affected Trump 2020

The pandemic affected Trump 2020

It did effect Trump as the media and academia and the DNC all gathered round to blame Trump for every single Covid death that occurred. Shrug, propaganda rules.

Then Trump was told he was xenophobic for stopping flights from China to the US as DNC leaders like Nancy Pelosi paraded around China Town in San Fran telling the populace there was absolutely nothing to fear about Covid coming from China. Of course, it all changed quickly as the body bags filled and then you had Fauci and the DNC telling us at first not to wear masks and the later told us we must wear masks. Then when asked why Fauci changed his mind he at least admitted he lied at first to try and spare masks for medical personnel. Then they made up the rule about standing 6 ft apart, which they later admitted was based on nothing.

Of course, the bit about the vaccine put you all over the top as the DNC claimed that Trump had done NOTHING about the Pandemic, but while in the Presidential debates Trump said he had pushed through a vaccine that would come out at any time, as democrats called him a liar and people like Kamala say if so they would never take the Trump vaccine. Then days after Trump lost the election, out comes the vaccine, for which Biden and Kamala were the first to line up to get, giving no credit to Trump for the vaccine.

Then bad things started to happen with the vaccine, as many people had horrible reactions to it, but were still mandated by the Biden administration and corporations and academia to take the vaccine anyway. Those that lost loved ones from the vaccine, or were disabled, not only had no legal recourse to be compensated for the mandatory vaccine, they also were banned on social media for voicing the hell and loss they had just been through, being told they were MAGA scum and anti-science.

You really are an idiot not to know or acknowledge all this, or just a turd

Which is it?

My guess is both.

Damn, I forgot to even mention the government trampling over First amendment rights to free speech, public assembly, and practicing your said religion. Then came businesses shut down, leading to many to shut down for good, all mandated by the government with basically no compensation.

Then came kids being denied an education which still causes them to lag behind to this very day, along with the world wide inflation those dolts helped create with the worldwide economic shutdown that we are all still suffering from.

Yea, people are still as mad as hell, or had you not noticed.

Oh dear, you failed to put your big boy pants on today

So be it.

But then, what could you possibly say?

We all know it to be all true because we all lived it in real time.

And to think, all you had to do it be like Sweden and simply let it be.

It's just crazy the nation survived like everyone else, isn't it.
