37. A screed like this is infuriating. It's also sad

Sad that so many people like the late Ms Sehlke swallowed the Big Lie promoted by Trump and his Fox mouthpieces.

A virus doesn't care about political leanings or false accusations of hyped-up dangers. In fact, I'm certain Covid-19 (if it had consciousness and/or emotions) would be quite happy with the current state of things, relishing Trump's helpful herding of victims through mismanagement and deception.

What a frigging mess!

Btw, this blog entry from Sehlke sounds remarkably like my cousin on Facebook. Same attitude and posturing. Fortunately for my cousin, she lives in a Blue state where the Governor has taken the necessary precautions to protect his citizenry.
