There are millions of Americans who believe things that are not true, things about our leaders and things about theirs.

FOX brought us here. Rush Limbaugh brought us here. They created a paradigm that they continued to hone and embellish, and now their people would prefer to pretend to believe a sequence of outlandish lies than to suffer the ignominy of humiliation for being so fucking stupid.

It's going to blow up right in their faces in early October; just in time to give the voters another reason to vote Democrat.

This is political suicide for them. How can they not see this?
The number of cases will make the current daily rate look low, and the death toll will go up, and stay up, over 1000 per day right through the election.

It's a terrible way to win, but the Democrats are going to have a super blue tsunami if the schools are forced open.
May God have mercy on our teachers, children, and their families.

These folks are UNABLE to think critically about the reality of their situation. They SO BADLY was to believe the myth that life is unicorns and rainbows.

LIFE has risks. LIFE throws us uncomfortable and unforseen challenges. The universe throws us curves...and it is NOBODY'S FAULT. Dealing with the reality of a pandemic requires skill, cooperation, and leadership. Our current government has none of the above. Hundreds are dying daily as a result of those failures to deal in reality.

P.S. Jeebus won't save you.
