Fox News and Trump are playing with fire.

Take it from someone who's survived multiple California fires. Hell, I even saw my neighbor's house burn to the ground on national television. My own house was in that path. We got spared. We were one of the lucky ones. But I know people in my neighborhood who've been here since that big fire that weren't so lucky. Hell, to this day we're still finding remnants of that fire even 12 years later.
Fire is something you don't want to play with. And COVID-19 is that kind of fire. Sure, you can talk numbers and statistics all you want right now. And yeah even the most hardcore MAGAs will tell you that 2% is 2%. But it isn't. If you're in a neighborhood, and there's 140 houses, and 2% of them burn, you're talking 3 houses. But those three houses alone could easily do some untold damage because of the people affected. Now let's do some math. Say that fire skips and jumps around. Those those 3 houses could easily turn into 30. Which could easily turn into 50 or 60. And up and up.
By egging on the MAGAs to protest social distancing? Guess what? They're really playing with fire. And this isn't a mere stove blows up in your face kind of fire. This is a fire that is under heavy winds and dry brush that could easily spread and burn the whole forest down. You might be spared now, but this has a ripple effect that will last for years and decades even.
Fox News and Trump think that the virus is a game? It is not something to fuck with. By any stretch of the imagination. When they egg on their supporters to screw up the social distancing and anti-COVID measures that we've already been through? They just lit the match and that will cause a fast burning fire that won't go out. Which means that all the progress we've made so far will be completely undone and for nothing.
When their supporters block hospitals, think of that like blocking the entrance to a fire station. You really don't want to do that. And if you get this wretched virus, you won't be able to go back to your house or go fishing. It will have already burned. This is some seriously dangerous territory they are treading. Believe me, leaving your house not knowing if you'll ever come back to it is one of the worst possible feelings in the entire world.
And if the whole block goes up in flames or we all get the virus? Guess what? We won't be able to go back to "normal" for a very long time. Either you put up with the lockdowns or shut the fuck up. I don't like these lockdowns or social distancing one bit. Nobody does. But the more we abide by them the sooner we go back to normal. Let's think about the consequences of those actions. So either put it out now while you still can, or watch it burn uncontrollably with no hope of ever extinguishing the fire.

And the truth! 
Edit: when you misspell "brilliant", you have to fix it!
And those people are MAGAs!
He's an absolute psychopath. 
Hope it wasn't too annoying. 
Especially right now when everyone has the potential be a walking biohazard.
That's not free speech, it's endangering lives.
"ME! ME! ME! MINE! MINE! MINE!" It's their mantra and also the mantra of that disgusting pig called president. 
but I understand your meaning. Oh, and I want my red stapler back. 
Elitists who want to stay healthy at the expense of their ‘Murica...I can see it now. 
And Zapp Branagin tells the crew the reason they are going to war is because the other side said "They look like dorks!!!". That's kind of what this is starting to feel like.
