'Those Dumb Red-Staters Going To The Beach Deserve To Die,' Man Tweets From New York Subway Train [satire]
Babylon Bee ^ | May 8, 2020

NEW YORK, NY—“Those dumb red-staters going to the beach deserve to die!” Dan Robbins tweeted while packed in a subway train in New York City.

Robbins was angered by images of people in red states going outside to enjoy themselves even while the virus still killed many Americans daily. There seems to be a partisan split in attitudes toward the pandemic, with red, less densely populated states not taking it as seriously as those from states that didn’t support Trump. Robbins had trouble composing the tweet, as he was elbow to elbow in the packed subway car.

There had not been much of a partisan split in deaths from COVID-19, though, with New York City itself being the largest single source of casualties from the coronavirus. Robbins had faith, though, that science would eventually punish those who defied it—though he was quickly distracted when he thought he heard someone cough near him.

What do you expect from a rat-infested city slicker who has never ventured past from the city block where he was born?

It’s shameful seeing all those people at the Nebraska beach every weekend.

************

NY Dan’s derisive tweet about “dumb red-staters” actually typifies what liberals everywhere think about conservatives.

Just imagine what they will do to us if they get control of the government. We can’t let that happen.

No, but the comment is still not in good taste.

Still riding the subway - when I have to. It’s usually empty enough now to maintain some distance.

Planning to go to the beach this summer too!

“...he was quickly distracted when he thought he heard someone cough near him.” Haha! Funny in a gallows humor sort of way...
