Liberals seem to believe that the coronavirus has political preferences. According to their magical thinking, the rallies and street protests that they approve of couldn’t possibly transmit Covid-19. Only the sort of gatherings that they disapprove of can transmit a virus. Maybe they should let viruses vote at the polls?
They’re full of !#$/
