(12,712 posts)It may be a hoot for them now, but they may be gasping for that last breath of freedom in a short time, so I hope it seems worth whatever paranoia has led them to believe.
I extend to them their right to contract a virus and choose to do so like that, but I don't think it is patriotic or even considerate to your fellow Americans to spread it to others who may just be in your vicinity, especially as you shed the virus like a cow giving milk to those around you until you go from being asymptomatic to that last gasp in the ICU.
Thanks a lot, mutton heads. My freedom is fine, thank you. I am free to be a good citizen for my country by following guidelines, unlike you who are reckless and thoughtless. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

(12,712 posts)More parades of immature delusional freedumb lovers. Alex Jones was there, so he can stay relevant. They should all get together and hug a lot. This is how you don't contain a pandemic, but you sure do get the chance to be a vector for viral victory.

(82,849 posts)Trump tells them what they want to hear. Sometimes he walks it back, but it doesn't matter to his true believers. They know when he's backing and filling that it's just to placate the deep state or some such nonsense. They know when he's talking directly to them, and they don't need to hear anymore.
So, when Trump says "Anyone who wants a test can get a test" like he did on March 6, it doesn't concern them in the least that there is no testing. They know in their black little hearts that testing would just be used against their hero when more infected persons were identified. I'm confident that before this is all over, there will be a story out that many of the dead are either faking it (that is, they weren't really Covid-19 victims) or were crisis actors who gladly died to make Trump look bad.

They'll go home in 2 weeks and then have to sit home while their loved ones die alone in a hospital bed.

They are Trump's personal army. Trump - I believe - himself sicced his COVIDIOTS (via various channels) onto Democratic-run states to coerce them into stopping the stay-at-home orders. They're Trump's flying monkeys.

(17,515 posts)People smoke, they drink to much, the use street drugs, they drive too fast or drunk, and the lists goes on.
The more dangerous things you do, the more your odds of a long and happy life diminish. If these people are too stupid to understand the possible outcomes of their gathering in a big protest party, well, they get what they get. Unfortunately, like drunk drivers they will take others down with them. Some of the people in the video will get Covid, they will spread it to friends and family and they may die.
I am not a hard-hearted man, but they have made their choices and I have no sympathy for them.

(21,733 posts)I wonder if MAGA hats are being discouraged by the organizers, so as to give Trump cover (plausible deniability).
