Philly Expat Becomes One-Man Anti-Trump Army In Super-Conservative Florida Retirement Community

A senior from Phila moved to The Villages in FL not realizing how ultra conservative they are. That hasn't stopped him from voicing his opinions about tRump.

https://www.phillymag.com/news/2020/07/30/ed-mcginty-villages-florida/

"McGinty, 72, has become the most hated man in the Villages, which is about an hour northwest of Orlando. He’s a one-man anti-Trump army who stages daily protests in the community against Trump. His Phillies cap gives way to a Joe Biden cap on most days. McGinty rides around the Villages in a golf cart that displays anti-Trump posters."

Mail carriers have been told to "slow down",

"Trump’s newly appointed postmaster general Louis DeJoy is deliberately slowing down the mail service months before Americans will need to vote by mail. For context: He has donated millions to Trump and Republicans, and held millions in USPS competitors."

"Trump's new postmaster general could corrupt a key institution ahead of Election Day
We can't let Trump get away with his attacks on the Postal Service — and our electoral system."

* Local mailmen confirmed they have all officially been told to "SLOW THE MAIL DOWN," per trump's Postmaster General.
So, for mail-in ballots:
SEND THEM 21 DAYS EARLY.
Mail on Oct. 13th. Do not wait.

"School closures in spring linked to drastic decrease in Covid-19 cases and deaths"

"Journal of the American Medical Association shows that closing all of a state’s schools was associated with a drastic decrease in both Covid-19 cases and deaths. And the point at which officials made that call mattered: Those states that adopted the policy while few people were testing positive saw a correlated flatter curve of cases."
"The new study doesn’t show cause and effect, only an association between school closures and case counts in an area."

They can't be allowed to make the same mistakes if we do it again.

They need to have economic and health systems in place and going 100%. No more wasted time and money. Guarantee everyone has a job to return to, freeze rents/mortgages and wages, pay people who must go to work more, pay everyone who needs money to live on a weekly wage, have tons of schools rebuilt/modified, have internet in place for distance learning everywhere, have hospitals and schools fully stocked with equipment and supplies paid for by the Fed Govt, manufacture more tests and labs, manufacture more masks, PPE, etc., get the strict health guidelines agreed to and followed up/enforced, Fed Govt's supplies, spending and loans need oversight/watchdogs, have free health care and testing for everyone related to Covid, get the tests back within 24 hours, do real tracing, stick to the guidelines and NO reopening without adhering to them (punishment/fines if they do), etc.

Basically, do the stuff every other country that has successfully controlled Covid and reopened has done.

However, none of this will happen as long as we have the same GOP, POTUS and anti-maskers making this a political issue instead of a health issue it will not happen until we have a new POTUS and Senate and the anti-maskers themselves get sick.

TRUMP LOSING SUPPORT AMONG OLDER RACISTS Many Cite Mishandling of Covid-19 Crisis

https://alfranken.com/read/trump-losing-support-among-older-racists

But now Toole turns serious. “Listen. I firmly believe that in the history of our country, Donald Trump is the most racist president who did not personally own slaves. And no one I know is more racist than me and Bobby right here.”
“Damn right!”

“But I believe that Trump is personally responsible for killing tens of thousands of Americans, a good number of them just as racist or almost as racist as us.”
“Damn right!”

"Asked if most of the other racists in town agree with him, Toole seems less than certain. “I don’t know. If I had to guess, of racists my age, I’d say it’s fifty-fifty. The younger racists just don’t seem to get it.”

"Does he think that will change? “Absolutely. See, Trump is just incapable of admitting mistakes, so things will just keep getting worse and worse. I’d say by November, it’s actually possible that Donald J. Trump could lose the racist vote. And, frankly, by a substantial margin.”

If you don't get a Covid test result within 24 hours, it is basically

useless. What is Jared (he is in charge of testing) going to do to increase and make testing faster? Nothing!
