How covid-19 is really effecting the election of 2020

A grim possibility if we keep on our present path is we’ll begin to see a global COVID decoupling, where much of Europe and Asia are mostly able to keep epidemics at bay but the U.S. can’t, and sees higher and persistent infection and slower GDP growth; and has a cordon sanitaire remain imposed on us from other nations. Trump’s failures are destroying us in so many ways right now.

Gerrymandering and voter suppression.

The daily double of the Republican Party.

So same thing that’s happening in Maryland.

OH is going through some things.

This could absolutely impact Trump’s ability to win Ohio. A state that he MUST carry.

Chris · 2020-07-30T19:27:30.626Z

I still think that Trump will win Ohio again.

Same here brother. But with numbers like these coming out of the state, his odds go down with each passing day. Trump is severely upside down in all polling relative to his handling of COVID.

It sure is causing people here to lose their minds.

Leadership begins at the top. Screw Trump for making mask wearing a ■■■■■■■ partisan issue. He is responsible for so much of this chaos.

The congressional underclass erupts in fury after Gohmert gets Covid-19

The men and women who make Capitol Hill run are anxious and angry about the risks they've been forced to take amid the pandemic.

An administrative staffer who often visits multiple offices estimated that mask wearing was “nearly universal in Democratic offices” but was “probably under 50 percent” among Republicans.

Masking has become a “political minefield” that creates awkward encounters on occasion, this person recounted: “[S]ome GOP offices ask why you are wearing a mask, which puts our staff in an awkward position — do you say because of the pandemic and risk the office taking that as a political stand? Do you take it off to make them feel better?”

Seriously, what in the hell is wrong with the GOP?

Gotta troll the libz. It’s the only answer I have.

It’s become a death cult. It’s bonkers.

It’s like a macho thing, gotta project one’s toughness or something, no matter how dumb or deadly.

Indeed. And make no mistake it is both.

Well isn’t he pulling all advertising out of Michigan to go to Ohio and other states?

Correct. Ohio and Iowa.

And not even a classical age, death respecting death cult.

No, this is something worse. This is human sacrifice.

Exactly. There is no Spartan glory being sought here through death. This is complete…I don’t even know the right “cide” to assign this. It is not really mass-suicide. It is certainly menticide and facticide.

Maybe when this is all finally over, it will be referred back to as Trumpicide?

Grammatically, that works as a ‘killing of T…’, which is obviously ptoblematic.

These people are eaters of the dead. There’s a Greek word that means this exactly: θάνατοι, thanatoi [than-a-tee].

You’re correct. I punted that one into the bleachers.

I like yours way more anyway.

One thing is certain, this is all ■■■■■■■ insane. The best approach now is probably to send the 56-57 millions kids back to school immediately!

tzu · 2020-07-31T00:09:26.588Z

I think we are probably not true Americans unless we get right back to complaining about school budgets and reading lists immediately thereafter.
