Ordinarily, respiratory infections rarely kill people in advanced industrial societies or people of privilege in others unless someone is already in danger of death from something else (pneumonia is often the definitive killer of people with cancer, congestive heart failure, senile dementia, or cirrhosis of the liver) -- but SARS-2 breaks that rule as COVID-19.
Sure, I am in a bubble -- one that readily detects propaganda, animus, superstition, and pseudoscience and finds it easy to reject.
Mirror-image Marxists like you are the people most likely to be swept into the dustbin of history.
I don't know Precious, you tell me, is one group "primarily your older group of Liberal voters" viewed as more precious by the other American groups these days. Keep in mind, we aren't your mass media elites and one their main employees or one of your politicians or some bureaucrat who is somehow or another related to one your politicians or one of their family members or on of your internet junkies or your imbeciles on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter or the ones who care about who wins the Oscars or which movie wins Best Picture and so forth. In short, I hope your governor has made the necessary adjustments for living in a world with COVID19 while she was busy self promoting showing off and strutting her stuff for the owners of the Democratic big leagues (DNC). Dude, you are so ignorant it's unbelievable. All I can do is tell you that I'm sorry about whatever happens to you in advance.
Some governors are supporting isolation by the numbers, the science, valuing lives over dollars, and are primarily but not exclusively Democratic. Cuomo of New York seems to be the loudest amount them. These are fairly popular. Less popular are those who are following Trump’s happy talk approach.
This difference in popularity reflects the values of more Americans. Most value lives over dollars. This is not true of all. Many of the elite have enough money to isolate and don’t care about those who do not.
That is why I am not worried too much about violence. The rural militias have always accepted election results, even when the first black president was elected. Seeing Trump make a mockery of their values, they want to get rid of him and his enablers in the senate. They may regret that this puts someone blue in charge, but they will do what they have to do to save lives.
I could respect a conservative opposition if they could get rid of any elitist or racist taint. It may happen in the near future, or it may not. The Tea Party was beginning to reject the elitist tendencies, but latched on to the biggest alligator in the swamp. I hope the Republican base gets enamored of someone who is against both the elitist and racist tendency. I am a little confused that you do not agree, that you are enamored still with the elitist and racist Trump.
I see a big struggle coming after the election to pick up the conservative vote. Neither the racists nor the elites are going away lightly, but both factions have been badly discredited by Trump. Can something honorable come out on top? Not my fight, but I will be watching.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
