Trump’s Lies Are Killing His Supporters as COVID Starts to Sweep Rural America
{People take part in a protest for "Michiganders Against Excessive Quarantine" at the Michigan State Capitol in Lansing, Michigan, on April 15, 2020.}
The caption under the articles picture is priceless. I see 2 guys wearing face mask like that's going to help them. In a crowd with bare hands, you know are going to pick up the virus, then spread it to the mask as they adjust and or remove it multiple times and replace. At least maybe they'll prevent giving it to others? oye
{It will get worse within days, if the pattern holds, and there is no reason to expect otherwise. The match has been lit. In two weeks, these rural areas — which have lost so many of their hospitals thanks to decades of conservative budget cuts — are going to be locked into the same nightmare the urban areas have been dealing with since March, but with far less medical infrastructure prepared to confront it.}
When Trump supporters self reduce their own voting numbers. Priceless. And Trump himself along with the religious aspect aren't thinking about this clearly either, it seems to me. If this takes hold as the article narrates, we could finally be witnessing the awakening of the conservative support base. South Dakota has been in the news this week with higher than above averages in what is relatively a scarcely populated area.
Well, the next paragraph actually starts going into that.
I have mentioned this a couple of times here when relating issues with capitalism and conservatives. As I was an OTR driver for 2 1/2 years, one of the most obvious things I found was the amount of elderly people still being forced to work in these southern and NW states that tend to be their support base. Elderly women waitressing was wide spread especially. Imagine combining a large section of the country's elderly in the workforce, at home with poor to no healthcare riding it out at home, and the effects it has had on nursing homes. I'll give you a moment with that one for lack of experience. But this could become a nightmare scenario for these areas in a short period of time.

I find it incredible that a lot of these people still think the virus is fake. Looks like we can think Trump for that one. Conservative talk radio today once again mentioned the "Deep State" and it sounded like they were serious about it. Perhaps they missed the Steve Bannon interview where he said he and Donald Trump invented the Deep State for political reasons. There is also lots of crap going around where they claim this virus was "created" just to take Trump down.

In my fantasy the rednecks start waking up to the toll of listening to Tweety's lies. They band together, arm themselves and form a unit to successfully assassinate the orange menace.

I love that fantasy, but in the real world tRump needs to be Legally put in jail for ALL his sins. America and the rest of the world need to understand that the madness has been stopped by rational, law-abiding people and proper judicial processes. tRumpism and the snivelling GOP are a virus every bit as TOXIC and harmful as Covid19. Here in Australia we have a religious nut Prime Minister, every bit as incompetent as tRump, infected by tRumpism, who is following the tRumpist playbook and ignoring all rules and conventions of our democratic government. tRump is a FASCISM enabler.
Yes it will be interesting if Trump words to his support base finally cause lots of them to succumb to this virus. Will the rednecks finally wake up or are they going to start shooting viruses with AK47's?
