38% of Americans still approve of the Con's handling of Covid-19

[malaise]

Who are these fucking lunatics?

1,000 lies about Covid from the Con

I dare them to bring back the shitshow - it's will be about 10% by November

Watching Robert Costa on M$NBComcast -please proceed ReTHUGs

[JI7]

1. This is why we are so backwards compared to Canada

and other countries on same level economically as us.

[Trenzalore]

2. It will be 35-38% in November

There was a guy interviewed before the Tulsa rally whose family member had died of the virus and was attending who was still "not sure" if it was serious.

35% to 38% of the country is very very dumb.

11. Not if this is accurate -America Is on Track for a Million Coronavirus Cases a Day, and at Least

800,000 Deaths, by the End of 2020

<snip>
If someone had suggested five months ago that we would be seeing more than 3 million cases and 135,000 COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. by mid-July, I wouldn’t have believed it.

But now it’s distinctly possible that, five months from now, half of all Americans could have been infected with SARS-CoV-2, and more than 800,000 Americans may die in this extraordinary outbreak. That is what many of our most prominent public-health experts now expect.

Could their projection models be off base? Maybe. But don’t count on it. As bad as the health consequences, disruptions, restrictions, and fear of the last five months have been, things could get a whole lot worse.

Sharp spikes in COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and fatalities are now being reported in many states, including Texas, Arizona, California, and Florida. And we’re still far behind where we should be at this point in the availability of reliable coronavirus tests and effective contact tracing.

Meanwhile, NIH infectious diseases chief Anthony Fauci recently told a congressional panel that if the trajectory of coronavirus spreads at its current rate, we could soon see 100,000 new confirmed cases per day in the U.S. And Robert Redfield, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warns the national confirmed test count represents no more than 10 percent of actual cases. That means there could actually be a million news cases every day by the end of the year.

15. He won't lose the 35%

No matter what he does or what his incompetence leads to he will still have that base of people.

[struggle4progress]

35. He'll continue to lose them, but it'll be slow

They'll move from the "strong supporter" camp to the "supporter" camp, then into "lean Republican" territory and then they'll become "independents"

From there, they'll start spouting "all politicians are crooks" and claiming they never voted for him

But it'll take a while

[Kingofalldems]

3. America's hicks.

[Brother Mythos]

4. Who are these lunatics? Well ... unfortunately for the rest of us, they're American citizens.

And, worse than that, they're busy breeding and under-educating their spawn.

[agingdem]

10. His base is

hate-driven and so incredibly stupid they vote for the guy that spews the vomit they want to hear...Democrats are the enemy...blacks, hispanics, jews, muslims, asians, Native Americans are the real "virus" taking away their jobs and controlling the banks...government is evil but don't touch their social security and medicare (where they think these entitlements came from is anybody's guess)...if the orange maggot says inject disinfectant and drink bleach they do it...covid is a hoax, science is bad, ignorance is good, masks/social distancing are liberal plots..Trump serves up white nationalist conspiracies, lies, and verbal diarrhea and they willingly eat it up with a fork and a spoon..

[LonePirate]

5. 35% of this country will support him no matter what. The rest are just idiots.

[Ohiogal]

6. I still see Trump yard signs

Still! After all that lunatic has destroyed!

Granted, I’ve only seen three of them. But my God ... WHO still supports this lunatic?? Are they living in a cave? Are they insane??

[Jamaal510]

30. He and FOX et al.

have conditioned them to only listen to them, and to never trust anything outside of Trump-friendly media no matter how bad things get. If thousands die, it's the Dems' fault/it's all fake.

[not_the_one]

7. This is his core of haters. They can not be reached.

They aren't all stupid, either. Their hate of "others" is so strong that they are willing to overlook absolutely anything. And I would bet that 90% of that 38% consider themselves "christian".

[malaise]

9. Scary indeed

and of course they're christian - whateverthe fuck that means.

3.7 million infected. Let the con refuse money for the virus.

[Mariana]

20. Trump got the majority of the Christians' votes in 2016.

Non-Christians overwhelmingly went for Hillary. So, you're probably right that almost all of his base is composed of Christians.

[Binkie The Clown]

8. Half of them will be dead from Covid-19 before election day. nt

[Mariana]

21. No they won't.

This isn't the Black Death. Even if they all catch it, the overwhelming majority will survive to vote for Trump.

[Binkie The Clown]

27. You're right, of course. But perhaps the experience of having it...

... will get them to rethink their position.

[kimbutgar]

12. My husband works with quite a few of them at a major airline carrier at SFO

They get paid good union wages, healthcare and other benefits. But to them MF45 is a god.

[malaise]

13. Why?

That's what I don't get

[kimbutgar]

18. He's making America great

Liberals are bad. Too many regulations, building the wall and standing up to our allies who had not paid their fair share in NATO. They are so brainwashed with the QAnon deep state shit. They only now trust MF45 and not the intelligence agencies. And Listen to Rump Limpballs and his clones. They are racist and don’t think they are. And Fox is now considered liberal Oann is their go go “truth telling” network. They are so far gone he’s given up talking to them and trying to change their minds. He still will talk work stuff with them but no politics. It’s really sad.

[Trenzalore]

16. Are they white?

My guess on why they think he is a god is rather simple.

[kimbutgar]

19. No

One guy is of Mexican heritage that could be picked up by INS just by looks alone and another is a white guy married to a Thai woman. Those two are the worst defenderr of MF45.

[spanone]

14. K&R...

[iloveObama12]

17. WTF! who are these people?

[BlueTsunami2018]

22. That's about right.

That’s the cult.

[gulliver]

23. These polls should ask, "Do you just support whoever the is the President all the time?"

I'll bet a lot of these people just say they support any President all the time for whatever reason.

[Chainfire]

24. It is the same people

that would approve of Trump drowning children on Mother's day to make America great again.

They are all in, no matter what.

[Quixote1818]

25. These are 1 issue voters. They hate brown people. nt

[Celerity]

26. +100000

[Calculating]

28. They're basically a death cult at this point

Lives are but a small sacrifice to ensure the reelection of their glorious leader.

[Tribetime]

29. As long as fux news in spewing hate

It will never go too much lower

[Awsi Dooger]

31. Trump could be laughing in their face while counting down the seconds to their death

And they'd still be frantically filling out an absentee ballot to vote for him

[malaise]

33. Sadly I think you are correct

That is some disconnect with reality

[Cha]

32. The Treason & BEANS' base.

The fuckwit Racists of the US of America.

[chriscan64]

34. Even the voters he's lost don't get it.

I was watching Chris Hayes interview the founder of Republican Voters Against Trump. They played some of the testimonials from Trump voters who are voting against him this time. In each of the ones I saw, it was only the handling of the pandemic that turned them. Not the Russia stuff, the hollowing out of Justice and State Departments, separating families at the border, the documents found in the impeachment, the fact that he illegally ignored subpoenas for the rest of it... etc.

Maybe if I go to the site and hear more, there will be other reasons for dumping Trump. There were none in the small sample they selected.
