A Question for Trump-Enabling Republicans

Do you really think that trying to force parents to send their kids back to school in the midst of a growing pandemic will be a vote-getter in November?

Do you honestly believe that sick and/or dead children and teachers will get folks to the polls to vote Republican?

Just wonderin’ …

Can't sue them if the kids return to class, get sick, and die from Covid.

... they'd be broadcasting the fact that the schools aren't safe. If they were, no such waiver would be asked for.

It will be affecting their adult family members and everyone they work with and come into contact with. It's a time bomb. Particularly in those areas where they don't believe in masks or social distancing. The virus will spread like wildfire if it isn't already.

If they haven't figured it out by now, chances are they never will.

I'm sure the Trump-humpers will dismiss this as Trump just being concerned about their children's education, and emotional well-being after months of isolation.

HOWEVER, that still won't get them to send their kids to school if they think it's not safe.

in real life I don't know how they are reacting because for my own sanity I have cut most Trump humpers out of my life - I just cannot tolerate them at all. I'm lucky that only a distant relative is a humper and I banned her from sending me her racist screeds some time ago (she chose not to email me at all and I am fine with that)
