I wonder if conservatives will stay home on election day?

Conservatives don't trust the CDC, don't trust Obama, want to ban all people from West Africa from coming to the US, want longer quarantines for anyone who's been to West Africa, fear we don't have enough beds in the event of an outbreak, believe that Ebola is far more contagious than it apparently is, and so on. When it comes to election day, I really wouldn't be surprised if some of them stayed home rather than risked congregating at polling places where there might be black people, aka, people who could possibly be from West Africa.

about being abandoned by parts of the Republicon party in their homophobia. If their spokesmodel, Hucksterbee tells them to stay home to send a message, they might think about doing that.

The average Republicon voter won't stay away from the polls in their rural or even suburban areas, where they know the chance of meeting a recent traveler from West Africa (or any part of Africa, for that matter) is nonexistent.

Naw, with my luck, they'll probably start shooting me, all the while screaming, "She got the Eeee-bow-lah!"

When Democrats go to vote in red areas, they should sniffle and sneeze. That might scare away the righties.
