That's a great ad, simple, nothing hyperbolic, straight to the point. Damaging. Quote:

trump supporter claimed cov 19 was just mass hysteria is now dead from cov 19. More blood on trumps hands. https://www.newsweek.com/virginia-pa...ndemic-1494702 Quote:
A Virginia man who downplayed the seriousness of the coronavirus as merely the media "pumping out fear" has died after contracting the virus.
Landon Spradlin, 66, a pastor and traveling musician, died on Wednesday, March 25, at a hospital in North Carolina after testing positive for COVID-19.
As first reported by Patch, nearly two weeks before his death Spradlin shared a meme on his Facebook page suggesting the media "can manipulate your life."
The post compared the "mass hysteria" surrounding the number of deaths from the coronavirus in the U.S. while Donald Trump has been president compared to the deaths from H1N1 under Barack Obama's administration.

Truly fucking scary what's going on down there. No intentions of a national shutdown to contain this. Leaving each state to defend themselves. New York is a castrastophe and it's spreading like wildfire.
Trump is clearly going the herd immunity route. Fuck no if he thinks this is done by Easter.

How's that for capitalism? | You mean GM that's been taken over by the US government? State-run does not scream capitalism to me.

Right now, I am bored out of my gourd..............
Watched all the Matlock episodes, Star Trek, Star Trek Enterprise, Star Trek Voyager, Star Trek TNG, etc. All the movies and the Picard series. Binge watched CSI Las Vegas, too.
Then I came across Xena Warrior Princess. Saw image of Dotard and put the two together. "In a time of social media, useless presidents, and prime ministers, the lands in turmoil cried out for a zero (I mean, hero). He was Trump, a mighty princess forged in the heat of stupidity. The power, the idiocy, the danger. His assholioness will change the world.“
Duh dup dup dup.......... dup da...........
Cut to image of that dumb confused look of his................ https://memeguy.com/photos/images/mr...hhh-195887.gif

places like Taiwan are able to get ahead because the government ramped up medical equipment/mask production, forcing plants to making ventilators is a GOOD thing
but i guess winning an argument on the internet takes precedence | |

Welfare was screaming yaaa!!! capitalism when GM said they were going to build ventilators, then was happy when trump said he was going to shop around because GM was charging to much. Now trump is forcing them to built ventilators. That's not capitalism that's socialism.

Just because one business gets nationalized, for a brief period, in an emergency situation, does not make it socialism, you moron.
Now clean up your panties and go back to tending your gas station selling fuel and cigarettes (yes, you live in a capitalist society, idiot), and I'll go back to collecting a tiny sliver of the money I've been forced to pay, and will continue to pay many times over, my entire adult working life.

a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

and how long is this brief period?
If you don't like taxes protest by not using things built with taxpayer dollars.
If you get sick make sure you go to false creek medical and not your government-funded hospital. Better yet go to a hospital in the states. Oh wait you can't trump closed the boarder.

No thanks though. Think I'm done with this thread for a good while.
Absolutely no value in it.

I disagree with this point. We're seeing here that Trump VASTLY goofed up the US response to this, and for that, he should be held accountable, and should reap the negative consensus as a result of that.
Yes, we're in a crisis, but those who contributed to this crisis should be held accountable, and history should not forget how he has acted during this crisis.
The more this is repeated, the more he will pay in 2020.
We also SHOULD be discussing economics behind this whole thing. That recent bill that was passed in the Senate has HUGE cash grabs for certain sectors, along with tax cuts to benefit real estate tycoons (aka Trump) for their capital losses. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2020...ak-real-estate
In times of crisis, the oligarchy always will enrich themselves, we can't allow this crisis to divert our attention from that, or we will have an even quicker race to the proverbial "bottom". Quote:

As soon as people found out JT had sent supplies to china you had trump supporters posting all these professional-looking graphics/meme's complaining, clearly not made by the posters. A few days ago it came out trump did the same thing and not a fucking peep.

Well you know why, it's a consorted effort. What people need to realize better here is this is class warfare, and the battle is not being waged by the have-nots, this is perpetrated by the global elites.
There's some very interesting articles and information out there which you can read which details how this is all happening.
It's not coincidence that these type of "conservative", "right-wing" attacks are occurring in the same manner throughout western democracies throughout the online world on a myriad of platforms here.
It's organized, it's well funded, and it's working. They have been creating a vast consolidated propaganda machine here, and we have been left with our pants down, completely unprepared to its results.
We live in some scary times here, and these misinformation campaigns will only become stronger and more pernicious unless people become more savvy
to the gas-lighting that is happening here.
It feels almost insurmountable at times. Quote:
