Latest trigger phrase for trumpers is now...

Any phrase with the word Mask in it.

Even if you're in the middle of conversation in a post about cleaning one's mask, one pops up to yell about how a mask would not have stop him from catching it.

1) this has nothing to do with trumpy.

2) he wasn't part of this conversation.


But trumpers are jumping into all kinds of posts that mention MASKS.

I really don't know what put a bee in their bonnet about just the word. But they got one today!

telling trumpers to do what their doing.

I'm waiting for them to star jumping into any conversation. They are screwier than usual today. I don't think most of them are believing about him being fine.

and then they'll go off into the deep end. Anybody with any shred of intelligence is ridiculed and made fun of. Pathetic. And they want us to go back to the moon? Why have Oxygen tanks, we'll do fine on the moon without them! Sarcasm here...

entire countries in Europe, and I'm talking about the biggest countries with populations of over 60 million? Why does Germany sometimes have just 1 or zero deaths, with a population of over 80 million? Or Japan with over 120 million, or China with nearly 1.5 billion - daily deaths in single digits, if at all. But America still has up to a thousand a day dying.

MASKS! The other nations didn't politicize masks and distancing. They took the word of scientists and not an ignorant conman.

the primary purpose of masks is not to protect yourself from getting a virus, which they are somewhat effective for, they are very effective in PREVENTING YOU FROM SPREADING a virus.

Trumpers have developed a very high immunity to understanding this basic bit of medical science.

The cognitive dissonance is going to drive them buggy until they can rationalize it

Or something like that
