While I agree Trump should get his supporters to wear masks, it’s not the Trump supporters driving the rise in cases.

In Alabama, blacks make up 27% of the population and 44% of cases, whites make up 68% of the population and 47% of cases. In California, hispanics make up 39% of the population and 56% of cases, whites make up 38% of the population and 18% of cases.

Unlocking wasn’t followed by rising cases. The rise in cases followed the Floyd protests, where many (well placed photo ops aside) don’t wear masks.

So yes, Trump should get his supporters to wear masks, but to see real change, Democrats will need to stop making exceptions and excuses for their supporters, get them to wear masks, to stop protesting, and to stay at home.

Case spike in super-liberal San Francisco after Floyd protests, clearly not a hotbed of Trump supporters.

Case spikes across the country with varying levels of Trump supporters, and different economic reopening regimes, all following common denominator Floyd protests.

On-site socializing with other children was the only aspect of public school that interested me. If that’s not available, and I’m required to keep my child home for “virtual instruction”, then I’ll pass. The mind rotting garbage “education” that remains doesn’t interest me.

Defund public schools and return the money to taxpayers.

Lol, Joe Biden and Barack Obama both got hacked on Twitter. The person who hacked them used their Twitter accounts to advertise his Bitcoin address, and walked away with over $100K worth of Bitcoin.

Trump didn’t get hacked, likely because he’s Twitter savvy and knows how to secure his account properly, Lol.

Yet another reason to not vote for old man, Sleepy Joe.

Trump’s weak response to the riots: property destruction, tearing down of statues, police standing down, no defense of gun owners who attempted to defend themselves, and all that, hurt him among his supporters. Weakness goes against Trump’s brand. This is from Rasmussen, one of his favorite pollsters.

He was doing fine with the virus, but handled the riots poorly.

They should return my property taxes to me.

Santa Ana Unified won’t return to campus in the fall
