Are you being ironic, or willfully ignorant? Look at the pictures and you can find your answer. |
NO!!! Many people got out of their cars and rallied on the steps of the Capitol. 90% of the cars had their windows open, people were yelling, walking through stopped traffic, and giving each other high fives. Based on the photos and videos I saw, the vast majority were not wearing masks. There were tons of children without masks. It was a parade of idiot adults acting like petulant children. Go see the hashtag #OperationGridlock on Twitter and Instagram - you'll see crowds without masks all over the Capitol grounds. |
LOLLL, this picture looks like a commercial for COPD. Most of the people would definitely fall into the high risk category if they caught COVID. |
I found their rallying flag:

If Donald Trump instituted a nationwide ban on public assembly and protests until there were ZERO coronavirus deaths would you be okay with that? What if he bans voting this November because coronavirus will still be around? Tyranny is always brought on and accepted by myopic dolts like you because of national emergencies. It’s the same reason Muslims were stripped naked, tortured and treated like dogs in Abu Ghraib after 9/11. Shame on people like you for criticizing people for exercising their First Amendment freedoms. The Constitution and the Bill of Rights don’t have stipulations that they should be suspended for a virus with a .5% to 2% mortality rate. Imagine what kind of dystopian police state you all would accept for a virus with a 25% mortality rate. Events like these really make you realize how fragile our democracy and freedoms actually are. |

Very well-said!! |

Trump has no Constitutional authority or ability to do either of the things you suggest. #StrawmanArgument Yes, people can sit home for a couple weeks. The federal government needs to pay them to stay home, lest they infect their communities. 2% mortality is nearly 7 million of your fellow Americans needlessly dying. How did you end up so damaged to view life so cheaply? |
+1 Stay home. And don’t block ambulances FFS. |
Actually I was paraphrasing this article that from NPR that states it has one of the most stringent stay at home orders. Wow. You must love being a bigot https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/15/835250693/michigan-stay-at-home-order-prompts-honking-traffic-jam-protest |
A few things: 1. Part of the problem is most people don't trust Donald Trump to make decisions for the benefit of Americans instead of for his own vain gain. So if he issued an order of course we'd question and dissent. That's why he should have tried hard to build trust through, I don't know, telling the truth and acting in our interest during his first three years in office. He'd have more political capital now. 2. I agree there is a tension between freedom and safety with these stay at home orders that is very hard to navigate. Again, communities with trust are more receptive to these orders, and I feel ilke - to beat a dead horse - that's why it's so important to have leaders who act in our interest (and believe in science and sht like that). 3. It's real hard to know how the first amendment is going to bump up against social distancing requirements. We'll see some interesting litigation, I imagine. |
Cool story, bro. You comrades are responsible for this - preventing a nurse from getting to the hospital: You lose the right to crow about "freedom" and "natural rights" when your actions lead to the deaths of your fellow Americans. |
And naturally, the gun nuts have to be there. Gotta have that rifle in case of trouble! |
I totally agree! |
