1. I have to wonder that since he's obviously mishandled it

whether the GOP calculation is it could wipe out a bunch of the less fortunate who vote for Democrats.

The GOP had to fear the changes coming in demographics. Maybe they see this as a potential reprieve by thinning the ranks of those who vote against them.

Horrible thought but I wouldn't put it past them.

Or maybe if it can get really ugly, Trump sees that as his best path to retain power.

2. It's the MAGAts that are going to die.

They're the one's rolling around in it, having virus parties, church services and going back to work.

That's what makes this even more nuts. When they're all dying Trump will quote to them his favorite fable....


You knew I was a snake all along.

3. trDumpie thinks the virus will decimate the blue states,..

... and governors only. So he is anxious to get back to business, let the virus ravage the blue state areas. While trDumpie sits back, doesn't lift a finger to help blue state pandemic areas, while he keeps his solid base red state voters healthy and alive for the coming election.

Die liberals die.
Besides that is god's will.
Praise be to god.

4. The blue states are the only ones who are taking this seriously and putting safety precautions

in place. Liberals, on the whole, think ahead and think about other people and understand that a bit of discomfort and inconvenience now is going to shorten the duration of this pandemic and save a lot of lives, theirs as well as others.

I think the red states/areas are going to be in for a rude awakening, and soon.

5. The metropolitan areas (Blue Voters) are in for quite the hit...

.... because trDumpie was so busy running around calling it a hoax. Community infection was able to run rampant before we got a handle on it, that is why we needed a valid test then quarantine. We missed the boat because of his incompetence. Large city blue voter areas could register a scary death toll.

Let's see what areas statistically were hit the hardest with a virus death toll. It ain't going to be pretty.

6. Population density is an issue for urban people, and that is a problem, but it seems like people -

at least in my city are taking things pretty seriously and avoiding social contact. The streets are almost empty. Also we have a lot more access to delivery services so we don't have to go out in public to get what we need, although some people do.

I have heard a lot of people in red areas aren't taking it seriously at all and are still going to malls and large gatherings which will eventually catch them up. They don't have the numbers we do, so they won't have the casualties that we will have, but percentage-wise I think it will end up taking a pretty big toll.

7. No you are correct.

It could have all been avoided if we had competent leadership.

His recent comment,
"...if they treated us nicer we would help them out... (refering to Blue States)

Is worrisome, but par for the course by trDumpie.

9. It's got to be eating away at Chump to send assistance to NY and CA.

He hates both states passionately. When he's forced to say something positive about Cuomo or Newsom, you can hear him struggle to get the words out.

Chump will find a way to rise above this latest fiasco. I'm figuring that once the country is bleeding red dots, his spiel will be that "IT'S A WORLDWIDE PANDAMIC!!! NO ONE CAN WIN AGAINST THIS ENEMY!!!"
