At least I hope so. I’d think the old folks in assisted living that see a bunch of their friends die wouldn’t be too happy about it.

They will go vote no matter what. Our side won't.

open everything now. They are setting themselves up to get the virus than the Dems who are still saying home instead of eating out, going to the bar etc.

their minds. They are out and about like nothing ever happened. Me and all my Dem friends are still hunkered down.

Follow Lesley Jordan on Instagram? He makes me laugh!

I hope the deaths decline soon, regardless. This is just nuts.

by his campaign....which leads me to think they really do have plans for disruption, someway/somehow, of the vote in November.

don’t even need these folks to “win”.

n/t

who caught it through no fault of their own

If gop cult members are foolish enough to go out there and risk it all, then so be it. I can’t help them, I don’t think anyone can. Not gonna fret about them anymore

makes no sense.. but it's trump.

Trump is so narrowly focused on restarting the economy that he can see nothing else. If people die, it means nothing to him. Restarting the economy is his only way to reelection. He can see only one thing at a time.

If there had been a national strategy to stay at home, and if he had encouraged his base to do that, we could have gotten ahead of this thing, somewhat. Then we could have reopened cautiously. He is too stupid to see that doing things his way is ass backward.

Trump has no plan. And I believe he is bored with the pandemic. He wants to do something new, like Obamagate.

the kill plan was being dryly facetious. It's happening.. but the goal is to restart the economy that he singlehandedly(along with his flunkies) killed.

Yes.. I can see those idiots in the "war room".. We need a new shiny thing to distract from your total stupidity, kingcon.

Trump will just have someone (probably Russian) just cast their ballot for them anyway. It is what Putin would want.

if it was going to be paper thin again this would probably be enough to do the trick. Opening up the state completely could be catastrophic there in terms of deaths.

Funny how the candidate of nostalgia isn't quite as appealing once you realize they consider you to be expendable.

Given their propensity for voting just a subtle change in the senior vote is enough to swing the election in crucial areas like Florida, Arizona and the Great Lakes.

I think many will change their votes because he has bollocksed up COVID-19 so massively, but that is not what I was addressing at all with my reply.

A lot of right wing old people stay close to home anyhow. A lot of them went through the Depression already. They already know how to make do. They are less likely to get it than you might think. And they, above all of the younger generations, WILL go to the polls. They will get special times to do it, like at the grocery stores, probably.

What I want to know is where is the data on these armed terrorists (that others call, "protesters)? They need to be the ones he kills off the most. THEN, we can be sure we might stand a chance of winning.

Stupid people follow their stupid heroes over a cliff without a doubt or so much as a question. Never forget that. I want our side to win more than anyone, because I am trapped in a very red area of a barely purple, red leaning state. I want Trump gone along with all of the other corrupt Republicans, especially corrupt NC Republicans, because I know how they have run roughshod over my state and were never punished at all for it. They got away with it all.

But, never forget how blindly stupid people will follow that formula Trump has faked to get where he is. And that is what it really is. He has used a formula, that included God, guns, and declaring open season in dog whistles (and sometimes outright) to them. Politics be damned. They want liberal heads on a platter. They want to be out maiming, torturing, and killing minorities. That is their real goal. Never forget that about Trump's base. At their core, all they want is that "open season" feeling to go after minorities. Sure, they hate liberals, but they really REALLY hate black people, gay people, trans people, Jewish people, and women who won't bow down to them. That is what their driving motivation is.

The bigots are the people that should be getting it and dying to lessen the numbers in Trump's base, not older people. Trump's real base is bigots. I know plenty of older people who are NOT Republicans and don't vote Republican, even here in red county hell in a barely purple conservative leaning state. Old people are not the enemy. Old Republicans, sure, but they are not the majority of Trump's base. The majority of Trump's base, in reality, are bigots.
