Trump said not to worry about it and the CDC said that we should and that's a leftist smear campaign.

Also one of trump's shitheads said that we should let the free market set the price of a vaccine instead of making it available to all and reporting on that is a leftist attack.

The left believe what the medical and scientific community are saying about the virus and didn't heap praise on grandma for posting a 19 minute rambling youtube video about how covid-19 is caused by abortions.

Well, some of the left. We got our morons too.

The new line on the right, coming out of Rush and Fox, is that the Coronavirus is just the flu and The Left are trying to make it a big thing to crash the markets and make Trump look bad. Seems they're shook that Trump might take the blame for firing all the pandemic preparedness people and slashing funding to the agencies responsible for protecting the US against infectious diseases and taking no steps to prepare the US for a pandemic and contributing to a worldwide recession that would tank his claims that the economy is humming going into reelection.

Huge group of 20 of em patrolled downtown with nothing better to do on a Friday night than listen to punk rock and beat up racists. They all moved to Texas because it got pretty thin up in WI. Now they're all dads.

Today we have cars with SS stickers all over them and confederate flags on pickups everywhere.

I used to work with an Alex Jones fan, would bring in his own coffee grounds, InfoWars brand of course. He literally thought he was under surveillance all the time, would draw the blinds, keep the lights off, etc.

We fired him after the police showed up at our office after someone at a bar overheard him threatening violence against us and reported it.

Then he got arrested for waving a gun around at a c-store while drunk, telling the cashier that people shouldn't be afraid of people with guns. He got arrested for driving to the store drunk, not the gun part. He had an open carry license, you see. USA! USA!

Last I heard he got married to a Russian mail order bride, but I don't know if that's true or not.

ah sorry, I misspoke, WI is an open carry state, so no license needed. What I should have said is that he was a licensed gun owner, which shows just how thorough the background checks are for that.

Which, is even more insane than what I originally posted

A blog I read posted a review of a book (Jonathan M. Metzl, Dying of Whiteness: How the Politics of Racial Resentment is Killing America�s Heartland) that sounds like it hits on every point this thread has ever made. Here's the near-complete text of the review:

quote:

It�s a straightforward exploration into the heart of Trump�s America, where people know that guns kill, where they know that they have terrible medical care, and where it simply doesn�t matter to them because at least the Mexicans and welfare queens aren�t getting any benefits either.

It�s really this straightforward. Metzl goes to hospitals where people simply tell him they would rather die than have Obamacare go to the undeserving. For these people, very much working class whites, race simply means far, far more to them than class. Moreover, it means more to them than their own lives. They are comfortable with their own death. They are not comfortable with Guatemalan migrants receiving health care. And it�s certainly no better with guns. Metzl visits one of the leading areas of gun suicides in the country�southeast Missouri. Even though people are dying left and right from guns�suicide for sure, but accidental shootings and intentional shooting too�these people just won�t see the guns as the problem. Or even if they secretly do, they know they can�t say so publicly for the stigma that would come of it.

Moreover, Metzl�s not just talking to random people. He�s going to support group meetings of family members who discovered their loved one had blown his head of with a gun. And even with that extremely horrible event, that physical manifestation of the evils of guns right in front of them in a way I cannot personally imagine, the power of whiteness and fears of scary outside people threatening them makes them simply refuse to consider guns a problem. Moreover, they claim they come from �gun� families going back for a long time, even though we know that modern gun culture is less than a half-century ago. Guns are so central to these people�s identity that they cannot imagine being without them, despite the cost.

Metzl�s last example�the Sam Brownback-led decimation of Kansas schools, is intended to provide a slightly more optimistic view, in that a lot of even conservative Kansans did finally reject this after he destroyed their schools. The only problem with this section is that is slightly an outlier, both in that schools are less life and death than healthcare and guns and because there really aren�t other examples yet of right-wing voters finally realizing there�s something too crazy for them.

The overall structure of the book though is brutally effective. Metzl keeps himself �neutral� with some hints at bipartisanship, even if they aren�t strongly felt. But it gives him some cover. He then talks to people, prints some interviews in full, goes over the issue in full with lots of input from the affected communities, and then closes each section with a data-driven study of the cost of these issues in these communities. And it demonstrates that white people are more than happy to hurt themselves rather than work toward solutions that include people of color.

I�ve long stated that �class not race� analysis is inherently racist, which makes me something of an outlier among labor historians. And I honestly don�t see how anyone can really argue that the white working class is dying for a socialist who will unite all people by class. These people may indeed have some class consciousness, so long as it is white-only. But even if they support unions or higher taxes on the rich or whatever, they aren�t voting that way. They are voting to kill themselves through rejecting decent health care, by freaking out that anyone will take their guns even as those guns kill their parents and spouses and children, and by decimating the social safety net even if it means their own children get a poor education.

Dying of Whiteness is an extremely sobering book. It�s a necessary read for all. You should read it. Until whites stop preferring to kill themselves rather than admit non-whites as full citizens of the nation, fascism will continue to be a serious threat to the rest of us. And to themselves too, but they will be A-OK with that.

To conclude, all the coronavirus in the world isn�t going to turn Trump�s base away from him. They are already dying of whiteness and will be happy to continue to do so.
