The end result of this is going to be a giant widening of power and wealth in the US. Small businesses will be shuttered, but large corporations will gain market-share and power. Same for the wealth controlled by the top 1%. They've already got a $4T bailout lol they are already there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I just posted about how I expect the next step in this game will be for states to increasingly start to attempt to manipulate the numbers downward. And on a state by state basis the governors will do that for their own interests. But with these new Tweets I think Trump may be doing something even worse. He is going to craft a version of virus denialism not based on the numbers, but on the more abstract idea that the numbers represent a problem. I think the numbers so far, and what is now projected(at least 100k) are so bad that Trump is making the calculation that everyone he was going to lose over it he has already lost, so he is going to focus on the economy. Have we heard him use the phrase, "it's just a number" when confronted with the death toll yet? Because I suspect we'll be hearing it a lot going forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, is it literally just the 65+ white people who hang out at rural diners? most people who work in meat packing plants are immigrants and minorities... not sure if that's true in Wisconsin as well, but it's definitely true in other parts of the Midwest.

That means still violently and "let's kill 'em" levels but just not with as much gusto. Regular Folks = Bank CEOs That's it. Edit: I see @Chairslinger broke out the eloquent version Yeah I'm not buying that. They may not like them very much, but they definitely are a big part of the Republican base especially in the South and midwest.

Oh I understand that... my grandfather was from South Carolina so I get how much racism and religion drive people in The South. It's just at some point you would think their own self interest would trump their hatred for other people and groups. My buddy who lives in Jacksonville and I talk about this all the time because he deals with this type of racism on a daily basis. It's a culture shock from him because because he was born and raised in the North East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
