His butflubro complacency. He’s a proud spreader.

Our choices seem to be:

1) Ignore it and watch our HCS collapse like in Wuhan and Italy. 1 in 15 cases dies in Italy. Who knows how many really died in Wuhan?

2) Engage in half measures so that enough people get sick to guarantee a win for the Dems in November. Plenty die, the economy suffers anyway and Trump gets blamed for the virus and the economy. No upside at all.

3) Take dramatic action and achieve an outcome better than the rest of the world, even if a few people complain that their freedoms have been temporarily curtailed. Win on lives saved and even possibly on the economy if things get back to normal faster for us than for others.

I’ll take number three. Terrible that any lives are lost, and it sucks that you can’t go to the buffet for dinner every day, but overall, I’ll trade your convenience for my wife and kids’ health any day of the week. Sorry if that upsets you. And if you think this is some kind of power grab to swipe all our rights once and for all, then I think you are a solipsistic fool. But if I am wrong, I’ll be out there on the street fighting beside you.

I trust President Trump to look out for us. If he fooled 60 million people so well that he could pull off your fascist conspiracy, well sucks to be us. I don’t see it, though.

War time Presidents generally fare well if they are not incompetent boobs. This is a war.

Stop being an antiwar protestor.

just admit to being a fascist. Security in defense of liberty is a no-go for me.
