Trumpists Urging People to Leave Their Homes to Own the Libs

[link:https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-loyalists-and-allies-urge-defiance-of-coronavirus-safety-measures|

A protest movement is taking hold targeting states that have extended social-distancing rules, closed schools and restricted access to large religious gatherings. And it’s being fed by loyalists and political allies of President Donald Trump.

At issue are seemingly contradictory directives between Trump—who said on Tuesday that his team was in the process of drafting new guidelines that would allow some states to bring critical industries to go back to work, possibly this month—and public health officials and many governors, who have urged people to stay home as the number of coronavirus-related deaths continue to rise.

But, they could hurt others.
"Owning the libs"
Stupid. They don't own me! I recognize their ignorance, willful or unconscious.

I just wouldn't want to breathe anywhere near their exhalations.

If they want to help the economy, then why not go take one of those desirable Kroger or Amazon jobs ($7.50-$10/ hr.) to keep food moving?

Health officials, and Drs and nurses they don't due to their own determent.

Stay home and practice social distancing, wear masks also we need testing, testing, testing.

It has the look and feel of their tactics in 2016. Weaponizing the discontentment will further damage our
economy and our country. Ask yourself who would benefit from keeping us from overcoming this disease.

I think the libs are smart enough to just say no.

So what ... do Trumpers have a death wish along
with their death cult fetish?

But no ventilators or med help, cuz you know, docs & nurses are "elitists" because they can read write & think!

Someone told them it would be bad for the environment if they all stayed home or, better yet, actually did jump off a tall cliff together?
