As seen in Denver, where healthcare workers showed their opposition to deadly death cult wingnuts doing their very best to make their jobs as hard as possible in the coming weeks. In response to silent pleas for common sense they got heckled. Because of course they did. But don't worry, those hecklers are very fine people, the very best, Trump said so. Do I need a sarc tag?
These death cult members are willing to risk the lives of everyone they know based on a few tweets from Trump. That is next level cray cray. That is Jonestown level cray cray. They have literally drunk the great orange fuckwits koolaid, unfortunately this time round the koolaid is that the lock down is anti their particular brand of right wing America, and everyone is put a greater risk because of it.
These people should be shunned, not only because they are actually despicable, but they are a public health risk. They should be shunned and when they get sick they should not be allowed access to public health services. Their risky behaviours should not be allowed to put any pressure on an already overwhelmed system. The BBC is reporting today that 70 healthcare workers have lost their lives in the UK, to date. Lost their lives while working to fight this virus. And that is in a country that locked down sooner, and although we have our own brand of right wing nut jobs, they are all sitting this one out alongside the rest of us. It doesn't take a mental giant to figure out the death toll of American health workers will be higher than the UK.
People need to be reminded day in and day out that Trumps Death Cult heckles the people risking their lives to save them, and Trump thinks 'these are great people'. Every single day between now and November.
Just sayin'

We need a good Attorney General and we need to re-build the FBI to protect the people from these types of power-mongers.

(50,271 posts)So-called "grassroots" protests with thousands of vehicles only happen literally overnight when there are lots of profiles available to tap into.
Who collects and curates millions of MAGAt profiles? Brad Pasquale who runs tRump's campaign and was the Mercer-paid Big Data meister of 2016.

(14,346 posts)There appear to be trucks right behind him. Keeping the crosswalk open really shouldn't be offensive even to the protesters.
I wonder if the RWNJs sitting at home watching this believe that its actually happening - the protests in other states and the actions of healthcare workers resisting the protesters, the things they only know about because the news media is reporting on it. These people claim not to believe the news media. But, they seem to believe the news when it fits their agenda.

(3,209 posts)(even though i do not wish to speak with them) they are the same exact people who were upset with the "Black Lives Matter" protests.
And i do not get this "we want to get back to work". Out of the adults in my immediate family, out of 7, one is working from home, one is on unemployment and the others are working. I think these folks are mad because they can't get their hair done, they can't go to bars or go bowling. And they think that is worth protesting for! Not the economy before, how it screwed up these very people, or how the environment is being damaged beyond repair if we don't step up now or how in their country, that they think is so free, the justice system is not always fair to those with brown or black skin or low figures in the bank account.
It is insane. I keep telling myself they are in the minority, but they are setting others up for some big trouble that could be avoided.

(2,198 posts)Donald Trump, Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump, Don Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Jared Kuschner, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News personalities, and the like???
Are they out there protesting too, standing shoulder to shoulder with these"defenders of freedom" as they demand that the country be reopened?
Oh, HELL no!
Would someone please point out to these idiots that while Donald Trump is happy to support their protests via Tweet, goading them to do life-endangering mass protests, he and his crime family will be hunkered down in their hidey-holes until it's safe to come out.
And would someone please ask them, if it's safe enough to open the country back up, then why hasn't Donald Trump started back up with his giant, obnoxious political rallies yet?
And ask them why Donald and Melania haven't visited one single hospital to "show support" for the health care workers, or to "give comfort" to coronavirus victims (i.e., photo ops). Why not? Because this is a deadly virusfor real!
And yet, he's urging people to engage in mass protests and risk contracting that deadly virus. And those people STILL don't get that Trump doesn't give two shits about them!

(2,198 posts)would just start coughing in the middle of the briefing. Just one reporter at first, then another, and another, until they are all coughing and hacking. And then, still coughing, all rise up and walk slowly toward the podium. It would be delightful to watch the growing look of horror come across Trump's face before he scampered away in fear.
