Does anyone believe there will be an amount of deaths that would drive republicans

[onecaliberal]

To completely abandon trump? Are they really going to wait for January 2021?

[sprinkleeninow]

1. I'm beginning to think not. eom

[TheBlackAdder]

27. Only when they start losing their own, as Republicans are self-affecting and care about themselves.

[Nevilledog]

2. Each Republican would have to personally lose someone close.

I'm not kidding.

[AleksS]

15. This.

The only thing that breaks them from the cult is when it affects them.

Until a republican’s mother/son/daughter/wife/husband dies or is permanently crippled by COVID-19, no amount of other people’s misery will affect them at all.

[griloco]

25. I think I've seen it before

Mr. Republican: Bad bad gay marriage!!!
Mr. Republican's Son: Dad, I'm engaged. Meet my boyfriend.
Mr. Republican: We need to rethink gay marriage...

[TheBlackAdder]

28. THIS ⬆️

[uponit7771]

31. +1

[bullimiami]

3. The former Republican Party is dead. They just don't know it yet.

They need to go the way of the Whigs.

[unblock]

4. One.

[Nevilledog]

7. That one being trump?

[unblock]

13. Bingo

[Phoenix61]

5. No. They can't their opportunity to jump off

the Trump Train is long past. There’s no new info going to come out about how to prevent the spread of the virus. They’ve already come down as anti mask anti social distancing. To dump Twitler over the pandemic would mean they have to start supporting masks and distancing.

[cayugafalls]

6. No.

They are a cult. Even if Trump got it and croaked, they would still want him to lead posthumously.

[torius]

8. If a ton of

Repub voters die, enough to
affect elections, it might get their attention.
Every Republican event is a spreading event.

[RockRaven]

9. No. Because identification as a Repuke is now inseparable from being a Trumpist.

And has been for quite a while, really.

[Skittles]

10. the "pro-life" people DON'T CARE ABOUT COVID DEATHS

NOT AT ALL

[onecaliberal]

14. Naked evil. They don't even pretend.

[Skittles]

24. AND they cannot even SAY the words BLACK LIVES MATTER

because THEY DON'T MATTER to them

enough of this PRO-LIFE nonsense!!!

[onecaliberal]

34. Perhaps they take each other seriously, no one else believes they are actual pro life.

[Skittles]

37. they're mostly anti-women

yes

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

11. Probably not. Unless it's their own personal family and friends.

Even with the seemingly horrible numbers, 140,000 people dead are a small fraction of the population of this country. Even the total cases is only a bit above 1% of the population. Which is why a lot of people out there can honestly say they don't know anyone whose gotten this, let alone know anyone who has died.

[SKKY]

12. I mean, if 20 slaughtered 2nd graders can't move them...

...I'm not inclined to think this would do much.

[onecaliberal]

16. A lot has happened since then.

It’s gotten so bad, it’s hard to fathom it continuing for so long.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

17. Yes, it's the point where it causes the economy to really crash.

Don't know in terms of the DJA point drops or unemployment numbers, but that's basically all they care about.

In other words, the point at which the general public no longer participates in rampant consumerism but instead goes into survival mode.

KY.......

[JI7]

18. no, if they know someone personally that might make them

do it but im not sure about even that.

[Dem2theMax]

19. Nope.

I live around quite a few Trump humpers. All they do all day long is watch Fox. Any time you try to have a meaningful conversation with them, their eyes glaze over.

I have talked to Republicans who are extremely well-educated in their fields. So you would think they would exhibit some sign of critical thinking skills. No.

There is a nurse who lives across the street from me. A Republican. She's totally convinced that Trump's miracle drug, hydroxychloroquine, is the cure-all for Covid-19. Never mind the fact that all the tests have shown otherwise, and that the drug can hurt and kill you.

Today she got into an argument with a Democratic neighbor about the fact that children need to go back to school. Her words, not that of the Democrat. He valiantly tried to explain why that is a very bad idea. Crickets.

Nothing is going to sway these people. They are so far beyond brainwashed, there is no coming back for them.

[onecaliberal]

20. It really is bone chilling listening to them attempt to explain away

All of the dead. I don’t engage with any of them.

[Dan]

23. When the Trump supporters, the Trump supporters that are parents

send their children back to school, without concern for their safety.... within twenty-one days, minds will change.

And they will want our sympathy, support for their gofundme accounts, and understanding on why they put their children at risk...

Then, at the funerals, the hospitals - then, when they realize that Trump does not care about them, their children, then they will understand.

[dchill]

21. January 2021. Until then, they'll be brainstorming and spitballing...

... how to pin the COVID on the Donkey.

[Renew Deal]

22. I don't think they will care about deaths until Trump is gone.

At least collectively. Individually, it will depend on how it personally impacts them. I knew a few people that died from it. How many do they know?

[GeoWilliam750]

26. Reference point

How many of the 913 people at Jonestown at the time of the suicide/massacre, did not die?

[live love laugh]

29. No nt

[Sherman A1]

30. No

Why would you ask such a question, with such an obvious answer? The only deaths that register with this group of “charming” individuals is corporate or lobbyists deaths and that is only until they find a replacement for their campaign coffers.

[JHB]

32. Their own.

Maybe a loved one's, but that's no guarantee.

These are people who just don't think it's real until it affects them directly

[jmg257]

33. Little by little it is happening....completely though? Never.

[Nay]

35. No, I do not. I think those people are either evangelicals waiting for Jeezus to sweep them up

into heaven, nihilists who just want to watch everything be destroyed, or individuals who are so mentally damaged/stupid/evil that they cannot perceive reality.

The major surprise of my life has been to realize how many millions upon millions of the above sorts are living in the US.

[hunter]

36. When the virus kills grandma they get her trailer, television, and Social Security check.

Best of all, grandma quits telling them what to do.

Republican multi-millionaires don't think any differently.

If a few younger people die, they all figure it won't be them.
