Trump says C virus is a hoax. Republicans believe him.

It's not nice to make fun of the mentally infirm, no matter what the delusion.

And this delusion is a doozy. A Trump supporter, at a rally in North Carolina, telling CNN that she "doesn't believe the Coronavirus exists."

REPORTER: You don’t believe coronavirus exists?
TRUMP SUPPORTER: I don’t.
REPORTER: So the two people who have been reported to have died from it in Washington state, you don’t trust that that’s true?
TRUMP SUPPORTER: I don’t trust anything the Democrats do.
This is a direct result of decades of brainwashing by Fox News and a so-called president who wants magical realism to protect his election prospects.

1. Well, not to wish bad luck on anyone, I wonder how she'll feel if she or a loved one contracts it?

I suppose she'll just say it's the flu, and who can argue that? The symptoms are pretty much the same. As to the rest of the Pubs, I doubt a lot of them are that stupid. If they are, they deserve what they get.

or take any precautions, because they don’t believe it exists. So, many will contract it through sheer stupidity.
They will also scream bloody murder when they do because by that time rump will have convinced them that it does exist and that democrats shipped it in with illegal immigrants. Mark my words.
