... generations ago, they go to a good right wing Christian Church, and home schooling their kids too.


Nice social distancing too. Franklin County, OH today 1,053 proven cases of C-19 and 18 deaths from C-19.
As of 4/5 we had 0 deaths from C-19.

These people are lost. Fox News is no longer conservative enough for them so they watch News Max and OAN.

[luvs2sing]

24. All of this!

I was literally checking faces to see if there were family members in that crowd of terrorists.

[Botany]

45. I know these kind of people well

Just 30 miles North of the state capital where the undead were yelling the locked door in Delaware, OH
these jewels were at a Trump rally.

55. Yup. I'm on the north side of Columbus.

But my family is from Licking County, and most of them are fans of those two guys.

[Lucky Luciano]

81. I try not to be racist/classist, but the white working class is the worst.

[CrispyQ]

90. You can thank almost 40 years of unchallenged hate radio for those two sorry suckers.

Ignoring hate radio is the stupidest thing the dems/left ever did, and we still do.

[Botany]

91. In 2012 after the election I was told that now that Obama won re-election he would use ...

... the U.N. to bring in Hamas fighters so he could get a 3rd term and take away everybody's guns.

Right now Fox & hate radio is working 24/7 to get people killed and or sick from C-19 by urging
that "they open it back up" because the cure is worse than the disease.

I wonder when the Trump Maggot have themselves, families, or friends getting sick and or dying
how long they stay on the Trumptanic? C-19 is now hitting the Ohio river valley and Appalachia
big time.

[The Mouth]

94. That is the curious thing, really

They are really mostly hurting themselves.

[DBoon]

2. The zombie apocalypse

[Iliyah]

9. 10 points . . .

LOL

[Newest Reality]

11. I see them!

Yes, zombies for sure. You can tell.

Thankfully, there is help and preparation information available:

25. ...

[phandancer917]

39. More thinking of this image....

....hope these assholes are proud of themselves in the future

[Aristus]

43. Same intellectual level, though.

Unthinking, uncomprehending, just mindlessly reacting...

[DBoon]

66. already dead, only appears to be human

[DENVERPOPS]

67. And you know what DB?

We ain't seen nothing yet when compared to what we will witness on Nov 3rd, and Nov 4th. If it even gets that far.
It doesn't matter whether they win or lose.........

Mark my words

Every day between now and then, they will get more and more ruthless, and more and more completely disavow the U.S. Constitution and Rule of Law. They.Have.No.Respect.For.Either As they have willfully demonstrated, with each and every single day that passes.

They have spent FORTY YEARS working towards this goal, and are one millimeter away from declaring a
Corporate Fascist Tyranny....By force if needed. They are not about to have anyone or anything stand in their way of a total Coup.....

If Trump, over the last few days hasn't shown us and the world where he and his band of merry Republicons are headed, no one has been watching the news. He already has succeeded in doing irreparable damage to this nation and it's Democracy. He has taken over public TV for 1-2 hours a day preaching the new Republicon tyranny, non stop. Every day, it gets more extreme and more like a dictatorship coup.

[MontanaMama]

3. Well if even 1 of those idiots have the virus

they will ALL have it shortly.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Unfortunately they'll spread it to non-stupid people, too.

[MontanaMama]

6. I know.

I just hope that non-stupid people are staying home and away from these fuckwads.

[crickets]

20. No kidding. Given the spread of this thing, you know it's tagged at least one.

I feel very sorry for their families at home, especially the children or elderly. They will be infecting all of them too.

[BusyBeingBest]

4. Freak show.

Shaun of the Dead--

[smirkymonkey]

31. OMG, before I even scrolled down, when I saw the first photo the very first thing that

popped into my mind was "Shaun of the Dead"!

[Laelth]

7. Hauntingly similar. n/t

-Laelth

[SheltieLover]

8. Like something out of a horror movie

Fugly energy there! 🤮

[WVreaper]

10. Fucking morons

spreading their germs. Is that really a face mask on that guy in the back.

[wryter2000]

12. Good lord!

How stupid can you be?

[Vinca]

13. Sweet they're crammed in so close together. The morons could be dead in a month.

[totodeinhere]

41. No that is not sweet.

That is a very shortsighted comment. If they get it they could pass it on to other innocent people who had nothing to do with this protest.

[Crunchy Frog]

84. They're spreading all those aerosols around with the shouting.

I hope they end up being like those people in the church choir.

[Hortensis]

14. Lol, great one. Bet their dentists will recognize a couple.

"Now this is only going to pinch a bit, and then you shouldn't feel anything."

[Jamastiene]

15. The picture of all of those protestors in MI

blocking the ambulance will be the thing I will remember most when our civilization breaks down permanently, because of jerks like them doing all of this stupid stuff. Remember their faces. When America falls, it was their fault for not acting halfway civilized.

[brewens]

16. Right when we just heard about several meat packing plants shutting down. Do they have to lose power

to get it? You really do not want to be responsible for infecting even one person in the food supply chain. Those people have to eat too, so they really can't quit.

[OhioChick]

17. Lock the Hospital Doors for Them n/t

[BComplex]

22. That's what I say! Don't admit them to the hospitals if they get symptoms.

Let the national guard get all their names and numbers, and when they show up at the hospital, don't admit them.

[kysrsoze]

18. Dawn of the Brain Dead

[bluestarone]

19. I've lost all feelings for this type people

Hope EVERY FUCKING one of them get the virus!

[SoonerPride]

28. I haven't lost any feelings but gained a whole bunch of new ones

That I can't repeat in polite company.

[bluestarone]

30. Man do i hear you!!

[Crunchy Frog]

82. And end up with tubes shoved down their throats.

with no sedation.

[onethatcares]

21. the question I ask myself is

how the hell do supposedly grown people act like that?

the insanity is palpable.

[BComplex]

26. Their heads are being filled with alarmist bullshit about the government.

Trump, fox, and the new rightwing networks are behind this. Those networks need to be shut down before this country is no more.

[Crunchy Frog]

83. They're just acting like their role model.

[mcar]

23. Am I a bad person for not caring, nay hoping, they get infected?

[Pacifist Patriot]

32. My first thought, with no emotional response whatsoever, was...

That's an image of a bunch of future COVID-19 patients, right there. And then I noticed I broke a nail and felt something.

[mcar]

34. I noticed my wine glass was empty

I feel bad about that.

[Pacifist Patriot]

37. Dammit!

You made me look over at my glass on my desk. I have half a sip left. Felt the earth move with that one. Like moving me back to the bottle.

[NurseJackie]

33. No. I share your hopes.

They're asking for it. So... I hope they get exactly what they want. Nothing wrong with that.

[mcar]

36. They are going against their god's directives about social distancing

Yep, they're asking for it. I hope they don't spread it to innocent people.

And, fck them for blocking ambulances from getting to the hospital. Heartless, amoral bastards.

[totodeinhere]

56. The problem is that if they get it they can pass it on to other people.

So I at least hope they do not get infected. I wonder how many of them might have a grandparent or other vulnerable persons at home. No we should not hope that anyone gets it no matter who they are. To think otherwise is very shortsighted IMO.

[Caliman73]

58. You aren't a bad person. Problem is that viruses don't discriminate.

I totally understand the feeling. My gut reaction is the same, however, I immediately think that if they get infected, then they are going to spread the virus to innocent people that had nothing to do with their stupid protest.

If there was a way to guarantee that only they would be affected, I would say go for it. Let it happen. That is not how things work though. For that reason I would have to hope against your hopes.

[mcar]

65. Like a RWNJ corona bubble

[Caliman73]

68. That would be lovely. I would get on board with that.

If only the consequences of stupid people only affected them. Right!?!

[catbyte]

71. I couldn't care less about any of them--good riddance, but it's all the innocents they could infect

that concerns me.

[mcar]

77. Me too

Thus my mild twinges of guilt for my feelings.

[Crunchy Frog]

85. I'm a bad person too.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

27. Where is this place they're trying to escape from? I have questions.

Exactly which mental institution has them all locked in where they seem so desperate?

Did some miss taking their sedative this morning?

Has someone called their parents?

Can we send them thoughts and prayers?..........

[Baitball Blogger]

29. "We want toilet paper!"

[forgotmylogin]

35. Yesss...breathe on each other mooooooreeee....

Fog up that glass with your Magagerms!

[ProfessorGAC]

38. DeWine Was On Tapper Earlier

After hearing him, he's definitely not paying attention to morons.

[Tribetime]

50. He has been a pleasant surprise

I'm still thinking Biden is going to take Ohio

[niyad]

73. But he is still attacking women's rights while he thinks nobody is watching.

[Tennessee Hillbilly]

40. The Repugs are encouraging (and organizing) these protests ...

are over the country. They're trying to make the average American think that there's a lot of public support for Trump's plan to re-open everything as quickly as possible.

[hadEnuf]

42. That reflection on the door glass.... are they watching a man urinate?

What a bunch of fucking morons....

[NotHardly]

44. Stupid is as stupid does

[Peacetrain]

46. I hope they all get it.. and a good case.. not die.. I do not wish that on anyone

but a really good case of the virus.. have fits of gasping for air.. just to know what they are going to put people through .. all those typhoid Mary's... My poor Mom has been in isolation at her care center for almost a month now so these idiots can chant..

[Mendocino]

47. Lick the glass

[Ford_Prefect]

48. It's a Moran Apocalypse!

They want to eat your brain, it's the organ they lack.

Run Away! Run Away!

[treestar]

49. Made me think of the Walking Dead too

And they are packed in there passing on whatever each of them might have.

[dailytroubadour]

51. Wowsers

You know what they look like? Desperate passengers on a sinking ship.
They know the game is over.

[pbmus]

52. Zombieland...Double Tap...where is Tallahassee?

[liberalmuse]

53. These fuckers better keep away from my grandma.

There will be hell to pay if anyone of these antiscience Trump-humping dipshits exposes her. My uncles practically have her hermitically sealed. When they come over to bring groceries, she has to stand in the next room. No hugs, either. My uncles are high-risk, too. It angers me immensely to see people like this so callously endangering lives. They are ugly inside and out.

[Ellen Forradalom]

54. you know damn well this would flip to screaming entitlement

the minute they get COVID.

"NO ICU BED FOR ME? But I'M A WHITE AMERICAN! Throw an illegal immigrant off his ventilator, I need it! I demand to see a manager!"

[Generic Other]

57. That's what the unicorns looked like

trying to get onto Noah's Ark.

[bucolic_frolic]

59. Some of them might not be around for long

Don't understand their obsessions about money ... maybe they fantasize the invincibility of youth?

[AllaN01Bear]

60. i think half of these people should be thrown into jail for recless endangerment.

[rockfordfile]

61. I could see these people as the first to die in "zombie outbreak" lol

[scrabblequeen40]

62. Literally DYING to own the libs! eom

[kacekwl]

63. I see the joker thru that window wearing the trump hat.

How appropriate. Then there was the person in the Joker mask.

[Evolve Dammit]

64. Bring it you assholes. The stupid is burning America. And you can't fix stupid.

[thenelm1]

69. If fools like these get their way and mitigation becomes impossible

and we go through one, two or more waves of infection with even more accompanying disastrous economic consequences, the image that comes to me, as frightful as it may be, are of scenes from "Night of the Living Dead" and other like films where you have lines of troops or armed civilians opening fire on the monsters, or in this case, this type of idjit. Gawd forbid that ever happens, but taken to an extreme conclusion, it's not totally unforeseeable. It's like most literary, TV or movie horror come to life. We all assume that everything can brought under control eventually with smart, levelheaded action. But we don't have that now or will we ever with butthead in charge. Hopefully life won't imitate art, but in fiction, the worst usually happens.

[Hav]

70. They are idiots

and they are lucky that this crowd looks rather small. Seeing them shouting like that with a highly contagious disease going around is irresponsible. It was a football match in Europe that lead to hotspots in regions of Italy and Spain as a result of all the saliva in the air due to the shouting and celebrations.

[mtngirl47]

72. Ironically I just got off the phone with my Ohio Republican sister

(who has a freaking Masters Degree) and she ranted for 30 minutes that "our country just can't be shut down because some people might die."

I sat there thinking that I must be in some alternative universe where my "Christian" sister has been taken over by Trump body snatchers! And look, here's a picture of them!

[BeckyDem]

74. Why do we have to go through this hell with dumb people ? How about we negotiate a land deal and get

rid of them?

Give them x amount of territory, and they can apply libertarian and conservative plans until they're all sick to death of it. Which these days may not take that long.

[Doreen]

75. I hold them just as responsible as the dripping piece of orange shit for committing murder.

[NNadir]

76. Darwin works "miracles." n/t.

[Politicub]

78. It no longer amazes me that there are people that are this stupid

Welp... looks like there will be another breakout of Covid in Ohio among the MAGA set. They should lick each other like a cat licks her kittens as a form of protest. Let's hope they stay in their bubble.

[Cha]

79. they need to look at their supid brainwashed selves.

[Lucky Luciano]

80. We can't all be smart. nt

[ooky]

86. The faces of "winning". nt

[StTimofEdenRoc]

87. Remember to check Idaho Total Cases May 1 thru 8

[Blue Owl]

88. They're looking for brains

n/t

[colsohlibgal]

89. These People Are Brainwashed To A Ridiculous Degree

Again Reagan is as responsible as anyone for where we are now.....tied with the insane “Citizens United” decision.

People slurping up far right propaganda for 30+ years has led us to this precarious time.

It looks like this Pandemic has exposed Trump enough that he is likely losing non foaming at the mouth supporters hourly......what happened In Wisconsin recently seems like a good omen, along with polling showing Trump losing support....bigly as that dumb low life would say.

Let’s crush this would be despot worse than Goldwater got crushed in 1964.

[subana]

92. why do they look like they're yelling?

is it really such an inconvenience if they can't go to a grocery store or fast food place whenever they want? Just like their dear leader, they look like spoiled brats!

& those shelter orders are in place to save lives, including theirs! But if they would rather risk their lives by going to a store or congregating with a large number of people, I say go for it!! If republicans would rather die than obey an order that was created for their benefit, have a good time! I hope it kills as many republicans as possible! Running this country would be a lot easier if we didn't have to constantly wade through the crazy BS that comes from their side of the aisle!!

[BlueMTexpat]

93. It reminds me of the mob

of GOPers who showed up to protest the FL vote-counting in 2000.

[haele]

95. What business were they trying to get in to?

A Bar? A hair salon and Spa? A Yankee Candle store at a mall, or the mall itself?
What closed business would be so essential to them that it's closure would be so emotionally devastating to them to act like zombies out of a George Romero flick...
Surely not a school, a food bank, or a health clinic.

Haele.

[Botany]

96. OH's State Capital

[lonely bird]

97. Sigh

My state is populated by with far too many idiots.
