Fox and Limbaugh types have always argued that Teabaggers and red state farmers are truly the economic engine that keeps America going while blue state liberals spend their days protesting instead of working. It seems logical, then, that red states should absolutely get back to work, especially since their governors would obviously support their efforts. If the astro-turfed protestors want to go back to work, let them go. To support their efforts, I'd personally lobby stores to give them not one but two days a week when the "It's a hoax" gun-toting crowd could shop unhindered by masked libtards. Hell, I'd even lobby my fellow Dumbocrats to clear the roads on Sundays so the true believers can then get together in their megachurches and pray for end times.
I'd only ask that they stay the unholy f*ck out of blue states.

(15,805 posts)this kind of irresponsible behavior. All these Republican idiots have now been exposed to corona virus and many will become infected whether they show any symptoms or not. With no regard for their own health and safety, they will not take any responsibility for infecting other people through casual contact.
The spike in new corona patients will put even more strain on our overworked hospital system and all the people who are struggling to provide care for people. This will only further delay the timeframe when states will see the numbers go down to a point when they can start to lift some of the restrictions on public movement.
Republicans have always been a selfish lot, but their current behavior is different because people will die because of their stupidity.

A lot easier for us since we are surrounded most by water.
