Has there ever been such a split between truth and lies in this country? Pence's denial?

Trump's lies?

This is murder on a grand scale. There are so many complicit people - those bowing to pressure to reopen - those falsifying information, those supporting the administration just to keep their jobs. Not to mention the ignorance and/or stupidity of the cult of trump.

Well over 20K confirmed cases again today. Approaching 1000 deaths. Again.

EVERY SINGLE DEATH IS A TRAGEDY TO A FEW OR TO MANY. THERE IS NO END IN SIGHT.

It is really quite impossible to believe what we are seeing - but we are seeing it.

Once Biden wins, there has to be a grand reckoning like we've never seen before, and many need to be locked up. Forever.

By a large part of the population, because they are things that most people aren’t experiencing the impacts of. With the pandemic people are starting to experience things that conflict with the rethug party line. It’s unfortunate that’s what it takes to get people’s attention. But so far the kind of impact most people have experienced is the effects of the restrictions imposed and so many of them still believe the lies. Even though the entire world is affected they cling to trumps lies and thus the premature opening up. It’ll take the next wave to make them believe. Not just losing a job, but losing a loved one. The price of alternate facts.
