To the Trump voters, a little something I wrote.
A tale of perfect storm of calamity:
Aww, politics is stupid. None of that matters. Hey Trump is running for president, wouldn’t that be funny if he won. Anybody is better than Obama or Hillary!
Ha, that is so hilarious, he did it! We did it! Lol, he is going to drive those libtards crazy!
Man, that stock market is rocking it! I knew that whole climate change thing was all UN bullshit. Cleeeaan coal! Frack it up…. my kids don’t drink groundwater anyway. Nothing but eco-whiners!
Elections bore the hell out of me. It’s all the same swamp! At least Trump isn’t taking a paycheck!
Well, I’m not getting too many hours at the shop lately, they said it is something about Chinese tariffs, but it will pick back up. But it does suck that going to part-time status at work made me lose my health insurance. What are you going to do? At least we aren’t disrespected anymore!
Another record day on Wall Street! My brother in law says he’s going to buy a house in Hawaii! And Trump says he’s got some kind of tax break on the way, but I haven’t seen any of it. He’s the best though! Says everything I’m thinking, without worrying about the PC police. Love him!
Look, I’m not a big fan of the tweets; Sure, sometimes he sounds like an idiot talking by the helicopter. But the reporters love it and are just trying to trap him into saying something stupid. I won’t even watch it anymore. Fake news!
That is some wild shit going on in China. But it’s probably overblown to help the Dems. Trump said it is going to go away in a few days; he’s on it.
*********** The Trump administration fritters away precious days that other countries were using to make preparations. The virus spreads silently in Italy, Spain… and the US.
That science stuff is just crap. I’d rather be back on the assembly line, I want to earn enough so I can mod my truck so it can “roll coal”, that cracks me up. But I gotta go now, I need to take my cousin to her chemo appointment. Let’s hope this round is covered, she’s too sick to work for Medicaid coverage
It looks like many other countries got their coronavirus testing going a while ago, but we still don’t have it happening here. My sister has a bad cough and needs a test, but they didn’t have one available at first, and now it is taking forever for the results. I told you, the federal government sucks…. just like Mark Levin says!
Yeah, Trump kind of blew it on that testing thing, mostly because he always thinks he is right. But he usually IS right. It is the Mexican immigrants that are messing up our country. He stopped the flights from China, didn’t he!
Wow, the number of cases is doubling every day or two. I wish my 401(k) looked like that “confirmed cases” graph! How could it lose 3 years of gains so fast?!
What do you mean? He has great insurance, Grandpa worked for that union for 40 years, his insurance should take care of him. How can they not have a bed? They say his case is not that bad, and he should just stay home unless it gets worse.
I don’t care what the damn fake new media say, I’m going to church and then we’re going out to Denny’s with theguys from the Boston office, we’ve been planning this for weeks.
That scum payroll guy at work said my going bowling was actually going to be helping kill people in nursing homes, what the f**k does that even mean? I ain’t giving up bowling or my line dancing anyways, for some stupid lib fake flu thing. Rush says it’s nothing but a cold!
Grandpa’s in the hospital, but they have him still in the hallway, he has been there for 5 hours, they don’t have a room for him. They say the virus was spreading for weeks, but the US did almost no testing because the Trump Administration said it was all bullshit, and then blew it when they first started ordering tests.
Yeah, he’s been there three days, and he isn’t allowed any visitors, so he has to just lie there in the hallway. I think he is pretty lonely and scared.
The funeral is tomorrow, but we are not allowed to go.
Aunt Susan has a bad cough now. And I’m not feeling that well myself, but you know me, I never even get colds. I’m going to stop by Joe’s bar, I’ll see you in a couple of hours.
I don’t think I can make it in to work today.
I understand, I feel the same way, it is hard. Just drive over with a couple of cans of soup or something if you feel up to it, I don’t have anything left in the house, and I don’t think I can get out of bed.
Man my chest hurts.
Cough.

POSTSCRIPT:

Do you know which cities in Italy are as large as New York or L.A.? Trick question, nothing is even close.
“But,” you say, “China has cities much bigger than New York, and they are pulling out of it now” you say…
Do you think Americans will do voluntarily what China forced its cities to do by martial law? Starting two days ago? Because that is what it would take, to avoid what is coming.

Stay home. If one member of your family gets sick, keep the whole household home for two weeks. Wash your hands. Prepare for the long haul, it is going to take months. Look out for your neighbors.
Next election, let the adults vote. You can just stay home.
