"SNIP......

A new Pew Research survey finds that 61% of Republicans believe the worst of the coronavirus pandemic is behind us, while 38% say the worst is still to come.

In contrast, just 23% of Democrats say that the worst is behind us, while 76% say the worst is still to come.

1. Man are they are in for a nasty surprise

there's no end in sight and the numbers are growing daily. I almost feel sorry for their dumb asses for believing people like Trump.

[SWBTATTReg]

3. Ditto!

6. Their information bubble is impenetrable. nt

9. This is where...

This is where denial turns seriously deadly.

When COVID-19 pops their bubble, it's going to be all the more of a sudden and clearly horrific reveal.

Meanwhile, that blatant ignorance is, in many ways, costing more lives while they wear blinders in the house of propaganda.

2. Black americans dying of coronavirus at 3 times the rate of white americans.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/20/black-americans-death-rate-covid-19-coronavirus

1 in 3 black americans know someone who has died of coronavirus.

So only 1 in 9 white voters know someone who died of coronavirus. So ten percent of white Trump voters will know someone who dies. Unless of course if the hospitals get over-run in which case it will be higher. This could scare people from turning out to vote when reality finally sinks in to republicans. Or burst the Trump bubble they are in. I wonder if that will wake republican governors and the GOP the **** up? The only thing they care about is politics. I assume very few african americans are republican voters.

13. So, I have a question about African Americans and masks.

Here in Chicago, we’ve noticed that many who are African American are not wearing masks. And, I feel like Lori Lightfoot has done a good job communicating the fact. I wonder why that is? Is the info about the virus not reaching certain areas. I would think If my demographic was being hit hardest, I would definitely wear a mask. Does anyone know why that is?

14. Don't know. Sounds crazy. Are they young?

[bamagal62]

17. Some are young. Some aren't.

[bamagal62]

18. It just hit me.

I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t even think about it.
Is it about Elijah McClain? Maybe many are afraid to wear a mask? It’s a choice to save their own lives from police thinking they look suspicious for wearing a mask. I now understand.

[applegrove]

19. Well the protestors for George Floyd wore masks and there are not outbreaks

in all the cities where there were demonstrations.A combination of masks and being outside.

15. In Florida, I see an occasional African American in a mask.

Just a couple weeks ago, I had a lady look at me with complete disgust for having a mask and goggles on. She didn't say anything, I was ready for her to say something so that I could educate her on her clueless decisionmaking.

4. Good. Let's get them out there mingling.

I have no patience for idiots anymore.

[Phoenix61]

5. I really wish they were right but I science

really well. Sad they don’t.

[ProfessorGAC]

7. Here in Blue Illinois, Positivity Rate Is 2.6

Texas & Florida are around 14.
But, 61% of republics think the worst is behind us.
Blue Illinois at <3, red TX & FL are >14.
Only 38% think things will get worse.
Things are getting worse right now, idiot republics.

[StarryNite]

8. Their belief and the behavior that goes with it that the worst is behind us is why

the worst is yet to come.

[LiberalFighter]

10. Republicans must think the best outcome in the worst scenario.

[raccoon]

11. Republicans, you ain't seen nothing yet. Nt

12. Gallup 28 May - 4 June says 25% identify as R; 38 % identify as R or R-leaner

https://news.gallup.com/poll/15370/party-affiliation.aspx

0.61x25% is about 15% of the public
0.61x38% is about 23% of the public

16. The republican party is dead.

Most of the Trump cult think worst of pandemic is over.

They believe every lie told by Trump, Pence, the White House, Fox, Hannity, Carlson,

Limbaugh, political cult members, Twitter, and Facebook.
