Even now, the most outrageous responses are being aired. They may all be Russian bots, but there’s his base, tuning in and turning on.

I don’t get how the herd immunity plan was a go when it was apparent from the start that half the population was going to take precautions - and from their political standpoint, the wrong half.

They’re not smart enough to approach it from Thanos’ perspective.
