Those sound like hicks as opposed to rednecks. I want Chinese rednecks who fly the Confederate battle flag on their porch and drink beer for breakfast.

Don't remember seeing a mention of Chicago yesterday. The conspiracy nuts latching onto this are on an entirely different plane of existence right now. FAUXTON posted:I'm sure we all can have the utmost faith in the forthrightness and aptitude of our elected officials and the departments they lead Yeah we all gonna die. At least Chicagoans can smoke store bought weed before they die. Cubs got that world series a few back. Got a black woman mayor. Of course they're due for some misery.

I dunno, with whatever that poll posted by that republican pundit about how Bernie voters who would vote trump if he lost the primary, I don't think this is totally off the mark. Voters are loving stupid. Expecting politicians to turn down endorsements from popular media figures is counter productive to getting them elected. This seems especially true when your candidate has a great shot in the General but is placed 2nd in the Primary. mlmp08 posted:Winning people, ones who have reactionary social views, over to the left. This is far from beyond the realm of possibility. People get interested in a popular candidate like Bernie, get some exposure to sources of political thought they were previously unaware of, etc etc etc. Literally taking votes from trump, instead of simply having his supporters stay home, is a great characteristic for Bernie's candidacy.

I'm hoping this is just another scare that plays well for clicks, but the timing and scope of these quarantines mean someone is taking it very, very seriously.

I agree. These people fell for part of the message already. They believe globalism is destroying their life and leaving them behind. Alt-right tells them it’s the Jews behind bringing the people darker than a paper bag that will kill them. Showing them that it’s actually unchecked capitalism and rich people in place of globalism and racial minorities is the trick, not the hard part. The underlying problem is the same, they are just looking at who’s causing it incorrectly.

Haven't seen much in the way of reliable / real numbers yet but yeah it could be the case. Still, these kind of fears are irrational typically.

I don't remember what podcast I heard it in, probably a Robert Evans one, about when war broke out in France, they emptied the looney hospitals into the streets, and several of them actually got along fine in the chaos, better than expected. Crazy times make crazy people feel normal, or something to that effect.

Was France also one of the many nations that would involuntarily commit people for being gay or “woman’s hysteria” and other similar supposed mental ailments? Cause that could also help explain it.
