Once again Republicans are making it very hard to come up with absurdist satire.

White House blocking Fauci from testifying before Congress about coronavirus response
And the last time he testified before Congress, his testimony was cut short when he was summoned to the White House. What doesn't Trump want the public to know?

Oklahoma city ends face mask rule for shoppers after store employees are threatened
“In the short time beginning on May 1, 2020, that face coverings have been required for entry into stores/restaurants, store employees have been threatened with physical violence and showered with verbal abuse," City Manager Norman McNickle said in a statement. "In addition, there has been one threat of violence using a firearm."
McNickle said that many of the people who objected to wearing the masks have "the mistaken belief the requirement is unconstitutional."

It's just a matter of priorities. Ones we obviously don't share with them. For some reason. Possibly ethics.

This tweet filled me to so much rage this morning. Li'Z and his friends have had to do these drills since pre-school, PRE-SCHOOL. And bunch of 3-and-4 year olds having to practice hiding and staying quiet. They've never known what it like to go to school without the threat of being shot, and anyone who can do anything about it throws up their up hands and says, "Well, what can you do?". But the MINIMAL amount of effort, covering their damn faces, and these selfish, stupid fuckers lose their minds? The things I want to happen to them, I'm not going to put in writing because it would get our forum flagged.
Jesus. Christ. Dollars to donuts these fucking people have picketed an abortion clinic at some point and are proudly Christian and pro-life.
I'm mad because I went to Costco and to Safeway yesterday and I was one of maybe three people (other than store employees) I saw wearing a mask. It's not fucking hard.

What we're seeing is the end result of the mass selfishness and entitled attitude that seems to permeate these kinds of Americans. I don't mean every American, of course, but the ones that give the country the bad reputation it has. The entitled ones you hear in the news. The ones that voted for Trump. This is the end result of something that has built up for decades.
I don't tend to wish death on anyone, but for the country to become better and evolve, these are the people that need to straight up fuck off. I don't wish them death, but I also don't think they should receive medical treatment after their actions.

Yeah I talked to a friend of mine and I let him know my views have pretty much changed. Fuck it. Open up everything. So many people are going to die, but that's going to happen anyway thanks to these fucking morons. So let's let them go ahead and kill each other. Who will die? Grandpa, grandma, old people. Trump's base and the backbone of the republican party. People are just fucking stupid.
I'm just so amazed at the stupidity and callousness of people.

Honestly, the lot of you blaming this all on Trumpers are either allowing your own political bias to filter your views or have zero experience in patient care and enforcing compliance.
I can't get an intelligent person to fucking brush their teeth twice a day and you all shocked that people have a had time being shut up in their houses and make major behavioral changes like social distancing and masks for weeks/months on end without trouble? I'm not surprised at all--and I can absolutely guarantee you that it isn't just the conservative leaning people, despite being the loudest.
Remember China, and how they locked down their country? My friends who are still over there said despite the dangers being well known, they had to start checking the trunks of people's cars because people were hiding sick family members there. Social workers would come to houses that had confirmed sick family members and tape the door shut. When they would come back to check, if the tape was broken, they put more tape on and reset the counter. People were also checked for symptoms if they went out to the market to get food. If you had a fever, you were forced to go to the hospital. Some of this checking was done door to door every other day--Jun's father and uncles were doing exactly that in her hometown. Chinese are more comfortable with this level of government enforcement, but as I said, even they tried to break the rules at every turn. Americans, generally speaking, are not quite as comfortable with government telling them what to do, even if it is for their own good.
Jun and I were a mask if we go anywhere at all, and I'm not super happy when I see people without masks but I don't personally attribute this to something political. These are people being people. Welcome to healthcare.

He was talking about people not wearing masks in public, not protesters.
Get that goalpost moving shit outta here.
