And yet 25 Million people protesting, with as many as 500,000 in a crowd did not. I want Trump to lose. But if you don’t think politics plays a role in these studies, I have some swamp land to sell you.
BTW - these aren’t science. They are extrapolalating from statistics. And statistics are easily manipulated. I mean c’mon, that these people were at rallies means lesser crowds at bars and tattoo parlors. Right? Lesser crowds mean less spread.....
Or maybe I’m wrong. Maybe the virus can distinguish “good” crowds from “bad” crowds.
And, of course, the media is running with it. Reported on CNBC, Yahoo etc.... Again, I want Trump to lose. Call me a Lincoln Republican (officially I’m an independent). Been a while since I voted for a Dem for a Pres. ‘92 to be exact. I voted for Kasich in 16. Somewhat of a cop out, I fully admit. But it’s Calif, so I knew the outcome. And I couldn’t vote for either in ‘16. I can vote for Biden. And hope he’s the center to slightly left guy he historically has been. At least he’s a good human being.
When Trump got the GOP nomination in ‘16, I said to anyone who’d listen to me that were Trump supporters that his “legacy” should he win will be ultimately to drive the country left. Because we are essentially a reactive electorate. And I think I’m correct on that. Trump is the best thing that’s happened to the left since Nixon/Watergate. Probably even better.
I also want to see a semblance of journalistic integrity again. There has been very little the last couple years. You have most of the major media openly leading the charge for Biden (or more specifically, against Trump). CNN has become a joke. Fox, of course, does the opposite. Internet sites are worse. With no journalistic standards to begin with and the giants running the show deciding what can or should be highlighted, or repressed. This is not good for the country. Because it spurs further division. How that gets “resolved” in this age of internet dominance and social media is beyond me.
