A word of caution to the smirking strutting jackasses still wearing their MAGA hats in

public: you are wearing the simple-minded equivalent of a Klan hood or a Nazi swastika. Like Americans whose ancestors were lynched or gassed, Americans who have lost family or friends to this Corona virus may react suddenly and violently to your stupid cap which says you still support the uncaring monster who valued his own wealth and position more than our lives.

You are in the minority for a reason. Your leader is an illegitimate aberration whose very name will be spoken with curled lips and clenched fists for generations.

Don't say you were not warned.

That'll be the title of this chapter in American history.

Btw - started writing this post at 11:40am, Pacific time. The graphic of confirmed cases and total fatalities that MSNBC runs periodically throughout the day nowadays, counts 1102 fatalities.
The same graphic at 10:38am said 1090 fatalities.
It was 1060 at 9:26am.
We were up way late last night and before we finally closed down, that statistic had just passed the 1000 fatalities mark. No more three-digit numbers.

on edit -
2:19pm Pacific time - the death toll just bumped up to 1131.

on another edit -
4:19pm Pacific - jumped up again. Now at 1157.

and another edit -
At the start of Chris Hayes's show, approximately 5:02pm Pacific, they changed it to "1157+".

and yet another edit -
And at 7:04pm Pacific, it's 1177.

its way to one of the worse (if not already) events in US History. He doesn't realize that history now already will remember him as the one who was in charge when this hit. Every pathetic moment, every idiotic action, everything will be recorded for posterity and burned into the American mindset.

On FaceBook, I've been noticing the silent Trump supporters coming out—seemingly frustrated. They reply with something quick and without mentioning Trump, then they are quiet again (just like I'm seeing on DU...post removed replies)...so I've been deleting some digital friends, lately.

Of my "friends" there. One thing I have noticed is that their posts filled with lies and misinformation has intensified over the last few weeks. Many playing the blame game on the dems and especially on President Obama and Joe Biden. It always amazes me how brainwashed some of these people are, like they are living in an alternate reality.

Doing my work out, listening to tunes. Kid next to me is wearing a tRump 2020 t shirt. Reaction was to blurt out, THAT IS STRAIGHT UP FUCKING IGNORANT! Loudly! He looked at me, everyone with 10 feet heard me.

A couple months later doing some volunteer work and the kid next to me says I looked familiar. Turns out we live near each other. Then he clues me in. Says we work out at the same gym.

Now the kid was volunteering time, good thing, but I sure as hell wasn't going to apologize.

Do I feel bad, yes that his ignorant ass thinks he can leave the house in a tRump 2020 t shirt.

At present it states: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."

The revised version will be something like this: "Whenever a conversation turns to incompetence, ignorance or racism, a comparison involving Donald Trump approaches 1."

In short, you can't spell "fuck up" without "Trump."

that this group adored Reagan and when he went away, they adored "W", and then when he went away they just found another even bigger asshole......they are all destined to be what they will be........

If this were a "just" world, IGNORANCE WOULD BE PAINFUL"

I feel, deep down inside, that the majority of the U.S. population would love to go "midivil" on the asses of all Republicans like the black guy in Pulp Fiction. I am going to go to youtube and see if they have a video of that scene

That some of us consider it a dunce cap and there is a lot of evidence to support that.

I started wearing my political and protest t-shirts - Hillary yesterday and Obama today. But then I was feeling bad like I should not be political at a time like this so I changed to a Tom Petty t-shirt. Went to the grocery store and there is an old dude (always an old white dude) proudly wearing his trump hat.

So I am back to wearing my protest t-shirts because screw them!

A now teleworking leans-conservative young coworker messaged me today to apologize for mocking my warnings about coronavirus.

Because his aunt has it, and she's going to die from it because she has a heart condition, and he saw it up close. "Ten times worse than the flu," he messaged.

We have to give people arcs. We need Americans to start being actual Americans and not greedheaded postnazi cultists.

Maybe this will be the thing that turns the tide.
