The thing that seems lost on the flu bros is the 60,000 projected death toll is because of the measures being taken right now. If we kept society functioning as normal the death toll would be worse, much worse. Trump is in a tough spot and has been doing a decent job. Trump will open up the economy gradually and knows we can’t keep shutdown like this for an extended period.

When we first started seeing cases in CONUS, I figured the mantra that would be used against trump would be ‘trump loves wall street, people died!’, and used by the dims.

Little did I expect ‘trump killed the economy for a cold, he’s an idiot’ would be the line used against him by the right...

guess they’ll all sit home and we’ll get cuomo, hillary and/or biden.

That’ll surely be better than ‘idiot trump’, right?

If only they could take back their votes in ‘16 (I’m not really sure most of them even voted for Trump, or if they’re even citizens of THIS country)...

Another thing I can tell you about Rush lately is that he is constantly poopooing this exact argument and instead saying the number is lower because of herd immunity.

Rush, you don’t know that, and your ignorant AF opinion could get people killed.

Yes. They will say, if the death toll is close to or under that number, that they were right. Stolen valor, in a sense. Like guys that were anti war protestors in WWII claiming to be veterans.

But I will mock them relentlessly if I see them do so.
