Debunk this: Things that happen while Ronald Reagan was a US President - Lemmy.World

He also further spread anti-government sentiment which has made society far worse as people question everything about government and how it can help people.
Why is questioning the government a bad thing? Shouldnt we have questioned the government more when we were looking for WMDs?
Difference between holding government accountable and outright saying government is always the problem. The latter only creates apathy among voters.
You have two different things there, holding the government accountable, is a thing that happens AFTER they have harmed you, why dont we have mistrust for them while they are making a claim?

Small recent example. General blanket distrust in government leads to unwillingness to trust governmental health experts, leading to making the covid pandemic worse than was necessary.

As was intended by those like Reagan.

Or conversely, the general trust in the government led people to go along with measures like lockdowns that harmed the economy, caused severe inflation, and didnt let the kids go to school.

You are literally repeating bullshit government talking points four years later, you need a little less trust in ā€œexpertsā€.

You are literally repeating bullshit conservative misinformation.

I am a former engineer, so I am a data driven person not a propaganda driven person. I watched the data they published and I saw exactly what happened before and after lockdowns, and it was literally zero change. But they kept doing it for year(s?) afterward because you guys trusted them. And if you dont believe me, they had a whole big data anaylsis by JP morgan chase at the time. thesun.co.uk/…/lockdowns-difference-coronavirus-d…
Lockdowns made NO difference to coronavirus but destroyed millions of livelihoods worldwide, JP Morgan...

LOCKDOWNS have not altered the course of the coronavirus pandemic but have devastated the global economy, a study by JP Morgan has claimed.  A paper by Marko Kolanovic, a strategist at the investme…

The Sun
ā€œI’m a data driven person… just look at this article from the sun that supports my positionā€.
I literally saw it and have a direct study at the time; you have a long winded article that says nothing about what I am talking about (unless you can point to the spot you think does). This is the part where you drift away because you wont change your mind.
Whatever you saw is anecdotal. The antithesis of ā€œdata drivenā€. Besides which, you’ve confused me with someone else.
It was literally the entire set of covid data for each state, the exact opposite of an anecdote… Do you understand that the sun is referencing a study done by JP morgan chase?
There are a plethora of studies showing the efficacy of lockdowns.
I showed a direct study that showed that it didnt work in america at all, and that directly reflects what I say in the data real time. Do you have a study that shows it worked in america?
