The COVID-19 pandemic

[danbrotherston]

I mean, we could quibble over points, D+/D- there's wiggle room, but ultimately, this pandemic is a pretty serious indictment of the latest right wing governments and their supporters.

Alas, the challenges in managing the pandemic were by no means limited to right-wing governments. Yes, Trump and Bolsonaro did spectacularly badly, but there is a solid mix of different political stripes in the top half of the list.

Calling out right wing extremist governments is not an endorsement of centrist liberals, but it is very clear that right wing governments are especially ill suited to dealing with problems...I suspect because they have a greater than normal detachment from reality.
