The idea that taking away health coverage (during a pandemic even!!!) and doing everything possible to let the most amount of people die in a pandemic is comparable to political correctness or sending people extra unemployment so they don't have to work in a pandemic is unbelievably absurd. It's beyond stupid. But you can see this twosideism play out in society at large. The news interviews experts who know what they're talking about and alongside them gives equal coverage to whackos with insane ideas that have no base in reality.

The problem isn't giving both sides the chance to speak, it's pretending that the ideas are equal and giving them equal weight. For example, wearing masks, washing hands, and social distancing as ideas for fighting the pandemic are not similar to drinking bleach and bathing in UV light. Yet both ideas get equal coverage and equal weight, as if they are both valid methods of dealing with the pandemic. This is why we cannot discuss politics and why Americans have to hide their views. People who can think will not put up with the stupidity of the idiotic ideas people who can't think put forward. How can you have a conversation with an idiot who thinks it's a good idea to drink bleach? Or one who thinks corona is spread by 5G towers. There is nothing to talk about. And the idiot cannot converse back either. They are likely unable to actually understand the situation so any evidence provided goes above their head.

Eventually, the idiots move to one side, the rest move to another, and it becomes an intractable problem. That's what we're seeing now in America. The institutions that are led by idiots have failed horribly, often on purpose: White House, Senate, CDC, FDA, Florida, Texas, Arizona, etc. But of course, this is all taboo to discuss in the first place. Politics are taboo in America. That's why no one talks about any issues and why we truly are a "shithole country," as the president called it.
