  1. Trump: Deploys armed military personnel to the streets of American cities to attack peaceful protestors. Republicans: This is normal. Coronavirus: Kills hundreds of thousands of Americans. Republicans: Nothing to see here folks! Tiktok users: Embarrass Trump by getting him to give a speech to a nearly-empty auditorium. Republicans: Careful now!

  3.  @x-popone6817  Let me guess, you get your news from Fox, Breitbart, or a smattering of hard-right YouTubers.

  4.  @Tony-md7dk  Well, there's hundreds of hours of video that prove otherwise. Good grief, have you ever considered watching the raw footage, instead of just listening to rightwing talking heads and assuming they must be right because they have a nice tie and a slick haircut?

  5.  @x-popone6817  I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're speaking from sincere belief, and not merely trolling: Your facts are completely backwards. You've been given a narrative, which has been contorted over time to try and fit facts that constantly strive to disprove it. You cling onto the idea that Covid is not serious because nobody can apparently prove to you that it is. If people die, you hand-wave it as "preexisting conditions". If your own family get sick, "you got unlucky." If people point to climbing mortality rates, you'll either say it's not that high yet, or you'll say flu is worse, or you'll try to argue that most of those deaths don't count for some reason. There's a much simpler explanation for what's happening: Covid19 is a serious illness, and it kills a lot of people. The risk to an individual might be low, but the risk to a population is much greater. Masks help to control the spread of the virus by ensuring people don't spread it on their spittle when they speak, shout or simply breathe out. Most of the world outside Asia did not appreciate this simple piece of equipment, and is now paying the price for it. There is no conspiracy among the media classes to mislead you. The Democrats and the Chinese didn't collude to bring it to the US. It wasn't created in a lab, and it isn't going to go away because it's upsetting you to see the news reports. This should be a nonpartisan issue - the reason it is partisan is because of news sources like the ones you've been drawing your information from. They have been deliberately turning this into a left-versus-right issue, to help Trump get reelected. People like me take no pleasure in watching anyone die a preventable death, and we would love nothing better than for Trump supporters to do the right thing and start wearing masks to protect one another. You and people like you have more power than most of the rest of us to change teh course of this virus, because holding the opinions that you do, you speak the language of Trump supporters. Your word is worth a thousand people like me. So go out there, and spread the word: Covid is serious, and you can't afford to ignore it.

  6.  @x-popone6817  Can't you see the contradictions inherent to your OWN story? You're arguing both that the virus is a hoax, and it's a deadly bioweapon cooked up in a lab in Wuhan! You offer zero evidence for your arm-wavey supposition that the death statistics are being faked, and you seem to be suggesting that Dr Fauci is dangerous because... he knows people in other countries outside the US? You calling me a Democrat (or apparently a demon-rat, because you wanted to complete nutso Bingo) is especially laughable because I'm not even from the US, so by definition, I can't be a Democrat!

  7.  @x-popone6817  Buddy. I'm flattered that you enjoyed my comment enough to rip it off almost verbatim, but it just doesn't sound as witty coming from you.

  8.  @x-popone6817  Please. If you think the virus was cooked up in a lab and that Fauci was complicit, you may not be the fun kind of crazy, but you are definitely a few sandwiches short of a picnic...
