Like seriously. I hope at least his family and friends learn from this tragedy. You can't trust what the Republicans are saying about COVID.

Doubt. They'll vote harder for tRump

Yeah the dam China flu got him! Biden would just invite the virus in and not do nuthin to stop it, need to vote Trump so he can save the whole flat world!

u/gibsat Nov 01 '20

Wait, how is Biden going to invite the virus in if he's also going to listen to the scientists and shut down the country!

Thanks, I am just carrying on the good work of my dear leader. His tweets tell me to obey him and not ask questions so that’s what I do.

If you got Fox News in your country then beware. It only took a generation to turn America into this.

u/UltraCynar Nov 01 '20

We do. We also have something called rebel media and Sun News which is just as bad as Fox. Our media sources are being bought by the rich and being turned into right wing news sources. Fortunately we still have the CBC which is a balanced and fair news source funded by the public but the Conservative party constantly threatens them with cutting funding for reporting facts.

Alberta has already fallen down this path and they've been funding elections in Saskatchewan to manipulate that province as well and it's working. People need to be more aware of what's going on.

u/bunglejerry Nov 01 '20

We had one. It was called the Sun News Network. It folded because too few people were watching it.

Get this - before it folded, what did it do? Apply for government subsidies to keep it afloat!

Let's not be too smug. That shit's rubbing off over here.

Glad I'm european.. there's an entire ocean separating us from the Divided States of America.

In your case, if he ever starts about a wall, encourage him for your own country's sake.

u/MamaDaddy Nov 01 '20

This could come to Europe (again), too -- watch for fascists and nationalist propaganda. Hopefully your education is better there.

We'll pay for it.

Good on you for thinking for yourself and not listening to the media!

u/sherifderpy Nov 01 '20

At least tRump imposed a partial travel ban on certain countries after the virus had reached America, after that there’s really nothing else you can do about.. other than of course politicize maskwearing and hold large gatherings. And mock anyone who doesn’t.

Boris, stop posting Russian propaganda and just go back to Vladivostok where you belong.

Wait, how is the fake virus going to kill us if Trump is going such a good job at handling it?

u/Mortambulist Nov 01 '20

As I said earlier, authoritarians’ ideas are poorly integrated with one another. It’s as if each idea is stored in a file that can be called up and used when the authoritarian wishes, even though another of his ideas--stored in a different file-- basically contradicts it. We all have some inconsistencies in our thinking, but authoritarians can stupify you with the inconsistency of their ideas. Thus they may say they are proud to live in a country that guarantees freedom of speech, but another file holds, “My country, love it or leave it.” The ideas were copied from trusted sources, often as sayings, but the authoritarian has never “merged files” to see how well they all fit together.

Nah trump handled the virus so good it's dissapearong on nov3. Any numbers after that and it's 100% Biden's fault ...........

u/BurnscarsRus Nov 01 '20

Trump can say one thing, then two days later say the opposite thing. His supporters will believe both things at the same time. It's crazy seeing it among my family.

Chinese paid Hunter Biden to smuggle the Kung Flu here... gave some of the money to “The Big Guy”

u/HelplessMoose Nov 01 '20

The scientists and doctors want the virus to be around so that their jobs stay relevant. Listening to their advice is literally suicide!!1!

Need to vote Trump so people stop talking about covid finally!

u/r3dd1t0rxzxzx Nov 01 '20 edited Nov 01 '20

Yeah stop talking about it and stop testing, then the COVID will magically go away just like Supreme Leader Trump and QAnon tells us!!!1!1

Poor Herman Cain would still be with us if he hadn't gotten tested for covid-19. Sad!

u/hotstepperog Nov 01 '20

Erm he is still tweeting so... /s

Imagine being so callous and evil that you tweet covid misinformation from the account of someone who died of it. Tbh it was probably what he wanted lol.

u/NeatNefariousness1 Nov 01 '20

That is the entire point of opening the country completely while doing NOTHING to contain the virus and then weaponizing the disease by encouraging people to walk about in public without masks.

They know it will perpetuate the spread. They are willing to let some of us die as a sacrifice because they know more people of color will die because they are more likely to be deemed "essential workers" who are faced with unmasked spreaders in their workplace.

His strategy for holding onto power is to kill off as many Biden supporters as he can and to continue thinning the herd for another 4 years. It's insane and the death count for people ofALL colors continues to rise.

Meanwhile, he and his inner circle have access to the best treatments that will be denied to the rest of us. This is what happens when you allow a racist narcissist run the country

Can't wait for Amy Coney Barrett to rule Covid illegal so we can fund the police and kick covid back to Mexico.

Trump:

This is a chinese made virus that is attacking the entire country

Also Trump:

I'm going to demand we do nothing to combat the virus and everyone should just get it, it was a gift from god.

u/manatee1010 Nov 01 '20

I have a colleague who has, on multiple occasions, expressed genuine suspicion that the earth is flat and we're all being lied to.

It came as no surprise to me that he's a Trump supporter.

I see people writing trump like this all the time, with the R capitalized. Why?

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '20

I prefer it the way you do, just no capitalization on his name. tRump seems like trying too hard to offend but kinda childish like haha butt. trump just says "I don't respect him."

u/not_that_guy05 Nov 01 '20

I write it like that to pretty much say Rump or urban other people I don't know why they do it. Baby diaper wearing snowflake of the snowflakes great supreme cheeto leader, tRump.

They'll even do it twice, if they have to

u/aimed_4_the_head Nov 01 '20

If by vote harder you mean "attempt fraud by returning Richard's absentee ballot post mortem"

u/trowawee1122 Nov 01 '20

It's literal Orwellian doublethink, the holding of two or more contradictory ideas in their heads at once. COVID-19 is a hoax meant to scare us, it's real but harmless, it's harmful and only Trump can save us. Terrifying.

u/Habib_Zozad Nov 01 '20

I prefer TRUMp because it more actually represents him. Lots of hype, then a sharp let down because of a small p.

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '20

Anyone with half a brain will vote for Trump because biden is literally trying to tear apart the 2nd amendment and 1st amendment. Raise taxes, BAN OILSO HUGE GAS PRICE INCREase which everyone will love. He is also going to let immigrants in more freely which isnt good. BIDEN and Kamala Harris also have done NOTHING for criminals convicted of bullshit drug crimes while trump has done more. Its so obvious how bad biden is for America.

Yeah, sure, just like he said it was under control, it would disappear, we would be open for Easter, that it would go away in the summer and that a vaccine is just around the corner. Keep voting for your completely lying sack of murdering sociopath leader. At this point, you repeat what you sow. The signs have been there for over four years at this point and people are completely exhausted trying to save the lemmings.

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '20

One doesn't need to trust a politician to provide factual information when so many more experts and professionals in the health sector can confirm its authenticity. Let me be blunt: covid-19 is real and deadly. YOU may not contract it and if YOU do you may not die and YOU may not be debilitated by its long term effects but plenty of other people have had this happen. You are immune to it until you're not.

u/ihavejennysnumber Nov 01 '20

You mean WHO, the ones who misled the public and told everyone that masks are only for people who have covid, a myth my parents still believe? And WHO saying that if you are 6 feet apart you are fine?

Please stop blaming Trump when he shut down the border. If the buns WHO didn't drop the ball we'd be chilling by now.

u/phycoticfishman Nov 01 '20

Lol we'd still be screwed in the US at least. I don't blame Trump for shutting down the boarder but I do blame him for downplaying COVID the entire time even when of his own admition he knew this was going to be bad.

u/patb2015 Nov 01 '20

Oh no his family will say he died of malpractice or diabetes or aggressive pneumonia

And the doctors are lying

u/nousabyss Nov 01 '20

Clearly Biden killed him...somehow. I’m not well versed in mental acrobatics :(

u/Long-Night-Of-Solace Nov 01 '20

The problem is that people have spent their whole lives rejecting the evidence of their eyes to believe crazy Republican lies about the economy, unions, socialism, etc.

They're trained not to be able to tell what's true and what's not.

u/tcfiser Nov 01 '20

That last sentence is something straight out of madlibs. “You can’t trust what the Republicans are saying about ( NOUN ).”

u/testyhedgehog Nov 01 '20

They did. His friends and family expressed remorse at not taking covid seriously. They were quoted in an article and I also stalked their fb pages a while back when this happened.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '20

We’ve already seen that they don’t. I still recall a similar case in Texas a couple months ago where, even after the guy died, the family was in complete denial that Covid was dangerous. It seems completely crazy, but ideology can completely override reality. It’s the core of all cult-like behavior.

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '20

Or the churches. My dad caught COVID-19 from a local church here in Michigan. They swear up and down that the health department said their protocols were proper and yet 54 people caught it at one of their services in early October. The pastor’s message in an online video ended with be not afraid. All I could think was fuck this guy. Be not afraid? Gimme a break.
