Political fall out from Covid-19 pandemic

(Sung to the tune of Jimmy Buffett’s Volcano song)

I duh ho
I duh ho
I dunno where I’m-ah gonna go
Where the potato grow!

This belongs over in “encouraging stuff.” There may be hope yet?

There is a huge amount of poetic justice, irony and truth in that statement… :sob:

When it all turns shitshaped in a few months, what’s the bet these posters will be brought out as evidence that some left-boogeyman (ANTIFA?) was out engineering the deaths of good, wholesome Americans?

At least we can rule out this being a leftist plot: if it was, it would have included the correct usage of “you’re”.

That was an issue during the election. An insurance broker or something, except not really.

The article asks how many of Trump’s supporters will “want a word” with him after the virus has had it’s way with them - sadly, I don’t think it will be all that many. There’ll just be a new conspiracy theory about how the Deep State poisoned and murdered Trump supporters and blamed it on the Chinese Hoax Virus, all to stop the Great Leader from being reelected.
There’s no vaccine for stupid, and there’s no reality too harsh to be painted over by one more in-line with their beliefs.

Trumpvirus is a liberal hoax meant to corrupt our precious bodily fluids by preventing us from going to the mall/megachurch/mallchurch and Trumpvirus is also a bioweapon engineered by those shifty Chinese who also failed to tell us about it soon enough when it was killing people in Wuhan. And probably other things too, whatever sounds good at the moment.

Bolsonaro, who was not wearing a face mask, addressed a crowd of a few hundred in Brasilia, many of them wearing Brazil’s yellow-and-green soccer jersey.
His brief address, which was punctuated by the president coughing, touched on talking points that have become his usual rallying cry. He called those in attendance “patriots” and said they were helping defend individual freedoms that he said are under threat by lockdowns imposed by authorities at the state level. “Everyone in Brazil needs to understand that they are subject to the will of the people,” Bolsonaro said.

is " Todos no Brasil têm de entender que estão submissos à vontade do povo" one of those untranslatable phrases, or is Bolsonaro getting high off his own propaganda?

Yeah, or the CCP, 5G or (((Soros))) or some other paranoid insanity. All the more ironic now that it looks like there’s mounting evidence showing coordinated protest payola from various right wing pressure groups.

Especially concerning assessment coming from someone who lived through extremely real shit on the front lines.

Courage and defiance in battle is probably overrated. But a virus won’t care.
