We MAY be about to witness the Trump voters embark on a death march.

Everyone here knows Trump voters are the worst kind of followers, cult followers. They treat trump like a prophet. They believe everything he tells them, unconditionally. They dismiss his lies and crimes as Trump just being Trump.

History has shown us time and time again what can happen to cult followers in the end. Jonestown, Waco, are just a couple of examples. I could have never imagined 60 million Americans would turn the presidency into a cult, a fake president into a prophet.

Trump has already convinced his cult followers the virus is a hoax. He has told them the cure will be worse than the disease. He has told them for weeks, we must get back to work. We must open up America. Many Trump voters are very angry they were ordered to shelter in place because of what Trump has told them.. Some of their evangelically leaders are trying to keep their church open.

Trump is desperate to open up the economy. He wants people to go back to work. When Trump gives the all clear, Democrats will not listen to him. Democratic states will not listen to him. Trump voters will, so will Republican led states. I just saw the Governor of Florida talking about opening up the schools. He is a cult follower.

Trump voters also listen to Fox news, Fox news is a death cult. Watching Fox news is dangerous to your health, including your mental health.

I learned through google there are about 45,000 evangelical church's in America, millions of members. Most of them are Trump cult followers. When Trump gives the all clear, get back to work, will the church's open up?

It is fair to say, when Trump tells the Trump voters it's OK to go to work, they will. They probably will not protect themselves because Trump has told them the virus is a hoax. He will tell them everything is under control.

If this happens many Trump voters will get infected and many of them will die. Unfortunately, they may drag many of us with them.

and aiming the cannons at themselves.

Unfortunately, some of us will be the collateral damage. But in the end, they are accelerating the demographic doom of the Russiapublican Party.

Checkpoints on all the major thoroughfares. Physical barriers on the back roads. Would screw things up royally and still be really porous.

that has me worried. The one time in a month that I had to venture out for prescriptions and food, I saw first hand how they follow the guidelines for social distancing. Only a handful of people were wearing masks and gloves. They were picking things off the shelves, looking at them and putting them back, one woman almost knocked me over when she rammed into me with her cart. I had waited patiently for the aisle to be empty before venturing down it to get what I needed. I no more than reached my destination when someone came from the other direction and stopped right beside me, blocking the aisle. As I was trying to lift the 40 pound box of cat litter into my cart a woman came up behind me, rammed me and said with a snarl "MOVE YOUR CART". Of course she was not wearing a mask or gloves. It is the way the typical so called "Christian" trump voter acts. Simple manners are something they never learned let alone the art of keeping their distance to prevent people from getting sick or dying.

A friend and I ventured out, in masks and gloves, to a couple of plant nurseries (the gardening frenzy is upon us!). Not too many people in either one. And probably half of them were wearing masks (not the Amish people that own them though).

This is in rural KY.
