I think we had one of those pro-virus rallies in my town

I live less than a mile from a western Pennsylvania small city/large town—in other words, the very heart of Trump country. As I was out shoveling mulch earlier, I could hear what I at first took to be someone with Rush Limpballs turned up high on their radio. The ranting male voice was far enough away that you could only occasionally make out a word here and there. Eventually, I realized that I was listening to a public address system in town. Neighbor said it was some kind of a face mask resistance protest.

1. Damn them!

So glad you weren't in town!

2. That is EXACTLY how these "protests" should be labeled.

These poor folk are being USED as rubes, by the rich folk.

I'd be willing to bet there wasn't ONE person who could qualify as RICH in that crowd.

RICH 1%ers astroturfing the poor, to use them to protect the 1%ers fortunes. Easy to do when HATE is the common denominator.

Again, JOURNALISTS? Where are you?

Let's say it all together!

5. Absolutely agree.

Excellent framing. “The pro virus folks were at it again today.”

Label them, and then let them try to explain why they aren’t pro virus. I like that.

4. Again I assert that we should take one or more states

pick ones that are bright red... and offer to do a "land/job/house swap" with any democrat or independent living in that already red state to any of these "morans" living in some other less red state (purple, blue, or even slightly red).

then we build an actual wall around that new state... and call it Dumbfuckistan.

6. Years ago, I heard Pennsylvania described as a state with Pittsburg on one end, Philadelphia

on the other and Mississippi in between. I have to say, just from taking a two-lane road trip through the state in September of 2016, that certainly seems true. I'd never seen so many Trump signs anywhere. And, whether buying gas or grabbing a burger, the locals made it very clear they did not welcome out-of-state Prius drivers with Hillary stickers on their bumper.

7. I have not yet heard of any in my area north of Pittsburgh. Eventually there will be some. n/t
