just had a discussion with a co-worker, don't know if he voted for Trump

but his basic position was that the media is responsible for the responses by nations, corporations, pro sports, and the hoarders, to their news about corona. Still buying the bee ess, and this dude has an MBA.

The scare is somehow the invention of the media.........(smh)

It's his response to it. Nobody's rallying around Trump a la 9/11. It's the same old right-wing partisan BS that has been the situation the entire time he's been POTUS and most people aren't buying into it.

And his response to the coronavirus. The Democratic Party must crack the Faux Newz blinders by pounding the truth into voters as much as donnie dipshit lies.

Eventually, it will sink in and they will be forced to think about who makes sense and who does not. The reason republicans have gotten away with it in the past is because the Democratic Party didn't beat the hell out of them with it, like the republicans would have done to them.
