A story in this month’s Scientific Americanpoints out that Americans are dying younger and at a greater rate than citizens of other industrially advanced countries. The reason for this is not complex, it’s easy to say exactly why:

Conservative ideology is causing more Americans to die.

The story points out that life expectancy in America is lower now than it has been in any year since 1996. That means that the advances in medical science and social behavior that have led to an almost continual rise in life expectancy for a century and a half stopped in America in the last few years and, in fact, we have gone backwards.
Over the past 160 years, life expectancy (from birth) in the United States has risen from 39.4 years in 1860, to 78.9 years in 2020. One of the major reasons for the overall increase of life expectancy in the last two centuries is the fact that the infant and child mortality rates have decreased by so much during this time. Medical advancements, fewer wars and improved living standards also mean that people are living longer than they did in previous centuries. (Statista)
In fact, the only reason American life expectancy has dropped significantly in any years since before the Civil War, when these things began be be tracked systematically, has been due to the Civil War and the First World War combined with the Spanish Flu of 1918-20.

Modern American conservatism is having the same effect on American lives and life spans as war and disease has had in the past.​

Conservatism is literally killing Americans. And it’s doing it in three easily understood ways:



Pro life.

Denial of Covid specifically has been named as accounting for reduced lifespans for rightist who are denialists.

Covid vaccine and the deadly mandates to get it will continue this trend, as its doing in many countries.

How typically stupid for lefties to blame it on righties with no explanation, whatsoever.

Well we are the ones who continue to work while the Dimmer ilk sit at home. Somebody has to pay for their SNAP and Obammycare and gubment checks, maybe that does shorten our lives.

They do, after all, consume massive amounts of pizza, Cheetos and energy drinks.

Definitely not healthy habits.

Heart attack waiting to happen.

Then add the clot shot on top of that.

And we pay their medical bills too!

Maybe it's resistance and the practices and beliefs that come with that resistance to conservatism that is causing deaths. I mean how many conservatives have died vs those that oppose in the past 10 years?

First of all, you lefty loons have been working on gain of function diseases.... This Covid, was produced in a lab and wouldnt be around except for that. The deaths of millions came right out of that Lab in Wuhan... and you lefty loons WILL continue probably doing the same thing until you hit us with an even worse virus.

It came out of the University of NC and then off to Wuhan along with 3 million dollars for the lab to release it...
Boston is cooking up our next one and it actually is deadly...

Funny how a liberal rag that calls itself "Scientific America" fails to note the millions of illegal aliens who have entered the country but instead comes to the conclusion that too many innocent American babies are being saved from abortion butchers.

Scientific American was killed by the Progs years ago, as Iowahawk has said:

You didn’t know that drug use is epidemic in deep red rural America?

Rural areas have higher rates of alcohol abuse, meth abuse and now opiate drug abuse.

And yes. This is definitely contributing to the decrease in longevity.
