(50,734 posts)Hoping to kill off people in our cities and blue states early. Mayors and governors who actually care about their people had to act locally to thwart that plan.
Freepers constantly justify authoritarian and openly racist measures as being worth it if it saves just one life. Sacrifices must be made. Pro-life. Think of the children. etc. And that turned out to be complete BS as they want to wipe out our elderly and vulnerable so they can get back to reaping sweet stock market profits from their comfy homes.
Our homeless don't have homes to quarantine and it's impossible to social distance in overcrowded shelters. They're going to get it hard because of Trump's slow action.
And the rural areas won't be spared. Rural people visit each other, go to churches and schools, Trump rallies, sporting events, and so much more. Don't think for a second that people with country houses and forests or farmland in between are social distancing. Even if we eventually beat this virus in our cities, it will continue longer in the country.
