With the exception of the Covid discussion, this #VPDebate could have taken place in 2012, or even the ‘90s. And even the Covid portion was tame. Boring...question dodging...bland centrism... It makes me miss Trump’s boorish behavior. At least a clown act is entertaining. — PolitiTweet.org

We have learned a tremendous amount about Coronavirus and are treating it much more effectively. Again, if we don't have the political and social will to eradicate the virus—and we clearly don't—then some kind of "herd immunity" is not just a strategy; it's *inevitable*. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

"Flattening the curve"—or, indeed, "smashing it"—was about maintaining the integrity of the medical system. That was a realistic, laudable justification for the lockdowns last spring and early summer. But at this point, continued lockdowns are only delaying the inevitable. — PolitiTweet.org

I would stress this: just as there does not seem to be the collective will to fully lock-down, actively seekingly "herd immunity" is a political non-starter, as well. The thing is, we're going to get there, whether we like it or not. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

A virus like this could have been stopped in its tracks—and eradication would, arguably, have been the best solution. But when the political and social will does not exist for this struggle, we have to face reality and work with what we have. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

With all of this in mind, segregating vulnerable people, wide-scale testing, and wearing masks around vulnerable people seems the most reasonable solution. We should slowly return to "normal." — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Liberals freaking out about some conservative not wearing a mask at Walmart—and then rooting on the largest mass protest movement we've seen in decades—was the height of hypocrisy. It demonstrated—as if we needed more evidence—that we simply don't live in a serious country. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

But we ran into some problems. Americans in particular, and modern people in general, don't have the discipline for a full-lockdown. Just as important, the government doesn't have the willingness to pay people substance wages as we overcome this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Last spring, I suggested a full lockdown and stay-at-home order in conjunction with a "no questions asked" basic income payment of $1,000 a month. This would have, unquestionably, been the best policy, particularly as we learned more about the virus and how to treat it. — PolitiTweet.org

In this way, #COVID19 is quite similar to the Spanish Flu, considering the advances in antibiotics, treatment, and communication. And @jollyheretic's and my suggestion that deaths due to Covid would resemble the tolls of the World Wars have proven to be quite accurate. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

We should remember how far we've come. Last spring, if anyone suggested 200,000 deaths, he'd be laughed off as a doomsayer indulging in "apocalypse porn." Today, 300,000 deaths by next summer seems baked into the cake. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Last spring, we were dealing with two problems in addressing #COVID19 in a rational manner: a) ignorance about its nature and effects (it was a novel virus, after all); b) rank denial, wishful thinking, and delusion on the part of Americans, particularly Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I have, rather reluctantly, come to the conclusion that a) some kind of "herd immunity" to #COVID19 is inevitable and b) knowing this, bringing about this outcome in a reasonable fashion is the best policy. — PolitiTweet.org
