Republicans are less interested in washing hands

[question everything]

From a USA Today poll

Women were more likely to report washing their hands more often than men were, 58% compared with 50%. The gap was much larger between Democrats and Republicans: 63% of Democrats were washing their hands more often, but just 48% of Republicans were doing so. It's possible that double-digit partisan divide reflects President Donald Trump's assurances that most Americans have a very low risk of infection; his voice carries particular weight with his fellow Republicans.

2. Here's their thought process:

" Hell hand washin' is something those queer California librullllz do. I'm gonna stick it to the libs and keep my hands dirty. Them science people ain't got a clue, cause it's a hoax to get rid of trump. USA! USA!"

7. That is exactly how they think.

I can tell you have actually had to deal with them by that. That is exactly how they think. It is infuriating to deal with their willful stupidity.

It's a liberal plot, God will protect me, it's not that big of a deal, blah, blah, blah....

They seem able to wash their hands of the old, the ill, the poor, and the newborn without hesitation.

6. Thom Tillis in NC is a classic example.

He doesn't even think restaurant workers should have to wash their hands after going to the bathroom....and still these idiots around me keep voting him in over and over again.

8. Only 63% of Dems washing hands MORE often. What's normal "often"?

This morning my eye snagged on a statement that 2 out of 10 people in France washed their hands once or twice each day. Don't know that it was true, just something that came up with searching on Russia and COVID.

Btw, Russia may have the advantage of a centralized government and a lot of isolated towns with people who don't travel much, but it's also a huge, impoverished country controlled by criminals with a skeletal health system and a lot of isolated towns.
