"They" Fox/GOP/News Max/and so on have taken what should be a medical/public health issue and
turned it into political theater. I have seen face masks with a screaming Donald Trump and a Trump
flipping the bird too. It might sound cold but if these anti science dumb fucks want to "be that way"
so can we just give 'em cyanide tablets so their bodies can't host the C-19 virus anymore.

Climate denial right wing working people were always strange to me, let the big oil companies give you fake data, believe it, pollute your own grounds used for your favorite hobbies of hunting and fishing. But at least you could say the results were not immediately evident and the job of stopping it seemed too big. It was always dumb, but at least you could wrap your head around it.

But this anti-science, Fauci is a liar, Trump and Fox know more about medicine than my doctor stuff....when a simple mask being worn the past 9 months would have saved hundreds of thousands of lives and helped our return to normal arrive faster by months.....is just weird. They turn the very basics of common sense into a political stand.

If a liberal told them a parachute would slow their fall from an airplane, they would snicker and jump right out of the plane chute free.

No masks, no signs for masks at businesses, no social distancing. Those things just aren't part of their lives. I had to take slots in those areas for my shots because they just weren't available in the metro area I live in. I guess many of the people there just didn't sign up. All of which means this virus is going to be endemic because there are so many millions in these areas aren't going do what they should. Thanks, drumpf and the RW noise machine.

As fake news. It's a cult and even death doesn't seem to sway most of them.

Just like it’s a gross misrepresentation to say Drumpf won because he carried more counties. There’s so much variation in population, size, density, etc. that using them for ranking is a distortion of statistics
