Tea Party Pukes Pitifully Plotting Protests Politicizing Pandemic Precautions
Here comes the Tea Party shitheads to remind everybody they can still fit into their hate-the-Guvmint turf-gear just because, well, they suck. Trumps ineptness is a long, colicky cry for help, and with plenty of time on their hands, the Baggers are a-helpin. They aint got no use for any more restrictions on their daily life of traveling, partying, and gosh darn it, livin like an American should be, loud and large!
It looks like Trump and Koch funded GOP activists are going to try to stir up their base again, using the Tea Party and Conservative concerns as cover. And, they are employing provocative code words such as Tyranny in their messaging. This development is showcasing the desperation taking over the Republican Party as we move toward the GE.
These so-called Conservatives are tired of social distancing in support of helping all Americans, and instead are pushing for self-policing individualism to deal with the Pandemic.
The business closures and stay at home orders are increasingly being spun as Tyranny and Stripping of basic liberties, (Letter to Trump, bottom). This disgusting letter manages to label those receiving the government help welfare recipients, with no incentive to return to work.
These people are dangerous and well funded instigators who will try to spur violent protests. They will try hard to channel the anger on their side to Democrats. Maybe they will fizzle out.

From a recent WP article, linked below:
Senior White House officials briefed President Trump on Monday about his looming decision regarding how to eventually jump-start the economy, presenting him with a list of 100 business executives that could serve in an advisory panel.
The conservative groups, meanwhile, are pushing for the White House and GOP lawmakers to push back against health professionals who have urged more caution.
The outside effort from conservative groups is expected to be led by Stephen Moore, a conservative at the Heritage Foundation who is close with White House economic officials; Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of the Tea Party Patriots; Adam Brandon, president of FreedomWorks, a conservative advocacy organization; and Lisa Nelson, chief executive of the American Legislative Exchange Council, a conservative organization with ties to the Koch brothers, according to the three people, who were granted anonymity to reveal details of an effort that had not been publicly revealed.
Theres a massive movement on the right now, growing exponentially. In the next two weeks, youll see protests in the streets of conservatives; youll see a big pushback against the lockdown in some states. People are at the boiling point, said Moore, who declined to comment on the group. If this were Hillary Clinton doing these things, you already would have riots in the streets.

From a recent open letter sent to Trump, written by Conservative activists, linked below:
Although the threat posed by the virus remains invisible, your COVID-19 Team has convinced us with data that, together, we can manage this crisis. Let Americans manage their own risks. Each one of us can determine for ourselves how best to proceed.
Here is them basically saying dont believe Democrats and their data, instead believe Trump:
When we have the right data, we can figure out our own paths together. We dont let central planners or experts decide for us. We decide for ourselves, in collaboration with our neighbors.
Very dangerous and selfish thinking. Letting Trump off the hook for failing.
Many citizens who lost employment are now incentivized to remain on welfare. This strips Americans of the dignity of working to serve one another, and it creates a new class of entitlements.
Yeah, like that $1200 fucking bucks and maybe some unemployment money is gonna help millions of Americans to retire. The whole letter is a conflicting mass of hypocritical bullshit. It talks about working together in the same breath as saying each person should go their own way, guided by God.

They should be identified and denied any healthcare for the disease.

Oh, but that's too deep of a concept with all that science, thinking, logic and communist nonsense like that.
"Give me dignity or give me death!" It seems like the latter is what they are shooting for and I guess they will have to get the dignity in Heaven, where, I assume, they plan to work for eternity at a low wage, (God's a Republican I hear). I hear that Jesus said that his "less wise" followers should cut this out because he is really having a hard time meeting everyone right now with the huge influx, so they should just stay home and go in their closets and pray until it's their turn.
There is so much wrong with that stuff that I am too tired to comment on it all.
