Who knew we would get to see a huge suicide cult in action in front of our very eyes.

Psychologists and sociologists should be having a field day with so many examples to study. We don't have to envision the Jim Jones bunch from afar - we have nearly half of the country actively involved in killing themselves, beholden to a strong arming wannabe dictator - the Golden Calf from the Ten Commandments movie come to life right there, on teevee, on stage - for all to see.

The problem is that in killing themselves, they are like the virus themselves among us and there will be unfortunate innocent victims - some of us - as they go about their incredibly ignorant mess.

3. Even understanding human flaws in all of us, this defiant, arrogant stupidity amazes me.

4. They are a suicide cult, no doubt on that . ..

and it keeps the rest of us in serious peril regarding the continuance spread of COVID-19 to the rate of the Spanish Flu.

6. Knowing tRump, he wants his numbers to be higher than the Spanish Flu. nt

5. Nope. "Huge Suicide Cult in Action" isn't on my 2020 bingo card.

I got lame stuff like “Hillary runs against Trump (again) for President” and “Pence and Cabinet invoke the 25th Amendment.” No way I am winning this year.

We live in interesting times.

9. Welcome to DU. Perhaps you could try that sentence again, please?

8. More like suicide bombers. They are biological terrorists.

They are not throwing themselves off cliffs like lemmings.

They are acquiring a disease and then mingling among the rest of us, sometimes angrily and shouting maskless.

If foreigners did this, if Muslims did this, these same people would instantly recognize it as terrorism. But when Americans do it, they call it "freedom".

As if freedom to infect was an inalienable right....

10. Drinking the Covid-19 ...

If only they kept it to themselves.
