"trump's travel ban was and is genius"

An indirect reply from a MAGAt on a FB discussion

Not sure which one but the topic was Covid so I’m guessing he meant the China travel ban?


I replied that South Korea banned travel before the US and still got hit hard

1. They're morons. Can't reason with them.

They believe whatever Trump and right-wing media tells them to believe. I see the same responses, word for word, cut and pasted from right-wing sources. Zero thought, cut and paste.

His support of Carson was slightly more understandable considering the connection, though still woefully misguided.

These people are so vested at this point, they don’t want to admit they are fools taken in by a con artist. So they will hang on. Even if they and their families get sick, to them it will just prove that the libs are somehow making it all happen; all a plot to make their demigod look bad.
