It’s insane the way MAGAs have taken a deadly pandemic and framed it as part of their “culture wars”, like wearing a mask is voting for uni-sex washrooms and doing a common sense thing like quarantining is bowing to communism.
It’s fucking mind boggling.
It’s fucking mind boggling.
It’s very interesting how they parrot their leader with his own absurd statements.
they seem incapable of forming independent thought and act as a herd.
I am willing to bet a lot of those folks there you would be happy to sit down and have a beer with just 10 years ago. But they have been indoctrinated by a drip, drip of anti Obama, pro Trump, anti Democrat, pro Republican bile from Fox News.
it does have echoes of the past. The irrational hatred of anything left of their own viewpoint is viewed as communism.
I hate to be that guy but it is like Germany in the early 30’s particularly with the distrust of the media (it was the press in those days)
The Press in the Third Reich
https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-press-in-the-third-reich
The elimination of the German multi-party political system brought about the demise of hundreds of newspapers produced by outlawed political parties. It also allowed the state to seize the printing plants and equipment of the Communist and Social Democratic Parties, which were often turned over directly to the Nazi Party. In the following months, the Nazis established control or exerted influence over independent press organs.
During the first weeks of 1933, the Nazi regime deployed the radio, press, and newsreels to stoke fears of a pending “Communist uprising,” then channeled popular anxieties into political measures that eradicated civil liberties and democracy.
Trump is doing this now, he is leading it, you just have to see his pressers. He wants your browser history.
Websites, forums and far right folks on them constantly badger on about communism as if it’s a thing. Anyone with a brain knows it isn’t.
people just want healthcare, a job, and some food on the table. Maybe a bit of fun at the weekend and the chance your kid can do better than you did. And none of them linked together like it’s a corporate umbrella.
but you have many agitators that get off by, well agitating folk. And scaring them. We have a few on here. You know who they are.
The most successful economy in the history of the world...Their orange dad’s words....can’t cope with a lock down for a couple of months to protect the most vulnerable?
doesn’t sound that most successful or even that great. Greece coped. South Korea coped, Germany coped, Australia...I could go on and on.
and this is just the start. Soon the rhetoric will be not blaming China but blaming the unemployed.
these scumbags don’t care about anyone but themselves.
OK Karen
MAGA
COVID-19 - Waaaah. But we don’t want to stay inside. Let’s ignore science and pretend it isn’t happening.
GLOBAL WARMING- Waaaaah. But we don’t want to change. Let’s ignore science and pretend it isn’t happening.
The so-called “Left” (a bullshit term used to create the illusion of a tangible enemy) gets painted as “soft”. What is “softer” than being so afraid of facing the reality of a situation that you deny it’s existence by wrapping yourself in a bubble of idiotic identity politics, discounting any idea that inconveniences you as “fake news” or “conspiracy”.

Who are the “Karen’s” in this situation?
These people still don't think black people are people.
There is going to be a war this century. I called it 20 years ago.
It will take us till the end of this century to eradicate the greed is good mentality.
There is enough for everyone. But until you stop this right wing emphasis that someone is getting something for nothing. Even though it has zero impact on their lives.
It will take another 3 generations at least.
Which is a shame. So many died in the last world war to stop this.
So many died. And we may need to do it again.
And there will be so many other battles from pandemics and water shortage that we don't need this distraction.
I am not a republican
never voted for one
Some people's opinions have nothing to do with politics
Pretty wild post other than that, maybe your watching to much MSM?

He should be let go, too much spectacle. Too distracting.

I don't really believe that in those words, but that's the main reason he'll be let go.
I’m glad places are starting to open but still believe people should show respect to others in certain situations. That bar scene is fine for me as Americans have decided what they want to do and risks they’ll take. I went to the taco shop for lunch today and was kinda shocked to be the only person along with employees wearing a mask. I also would bet my house the other 9 people in the restaurant weren’t MAGAS. Bothered me most because sign on door says masks required and I could tell the staff was frustrated. Not really a time for them to piss off paying customers.
He did it in uniform, I think he knew it was a risk.
I support his message fully.
Dude will land on on his feet, he said what a portion of LE are likely thinking.
interesting situation
Not allowed to dine in here yet
Will probably be full of stuff like that
I am respecting peoples space, but here a majority are now taking off the masks if they even wore them at all.
Here is the twist....This area is about 80% anti MAGA
I was at work today.
And a neurotic person insisted that everyone that came into her edit suite had to wear a mask. A separate mask each time. And a clean down each time. It was ridiculous. I got hammered because no one would go in to her.
At the end of the shift she came in and said how quiet it was.
I had to gently say that if you want to come to work you have to work. No one is wearing masks.
I basically did 2 shifts today.
Covid has broken so many people. That's my long term worry.
We can’t dine in here yet either. It made it even a little more uncomfortable because we were all basically standing at the front register waiting for our takeout.
my sisters boyfriend works at a beach bar. They’ve had huge crowds of people taking takeout and eating at their cars. Also they can serve a full bar if people order food. They decided to see bags of popcorn for $1. People order $1 popcorn and can stand and drink all night on the outdoor patio.
I like outdoor scenes usually and this will make them more popular it seems
Here they don't let you come in inside so most don't wear a mask if picking up food
I think "phase 2" kicks in this weekend so maybe some people will dine in restaurants soon?
