What’ll be interesting is that he’ll only be allowed to do so in red states that won’t serve him any good to campaign in. And Florida I guess.

I'm just going to come out and say it - I think a big part of the US national character is the desire to stick your finger in someone else's eye and be a real rear end in a top hat.
america has a toxic warrior complex that says you're either a wolf, a sheep, or a sheep dog that protects the sheep from wolves. and, because it's the toxic version, it's ok for the sheep dog to attack the sheep because they're below them. if you're not a winner you're a loser.
they're all out there looking for a fight they KNOW they'll win but at the first sign of trouble they call the cops and hide behind them
basically more people need a punch up the brackets but society is designed to protect those who need a punch the most and they know it

Yeah masks help, but a basic mask is gently caress all use if you're spending hours standing shoulder to shoulder in a huge crowd.

If it were restricted to the people who go only, then fine, they know what they're doing.

Mat Cauthon posted:

It was in the high 70's here in Ohio yesterday and when I took the dog out for his ~10 minute evening walk I saw no less than a dozen different house parties and barbeques. Including my next door neighbor having people over to drink and play cornhole. At least most people wear masks at the stores here, from what I've seen on the handful of store runs I've had to do since the quarantine started.

People are not going to take this seriously unless they know someone personally who dies from it. With summer coming on, people will just flout the rules. Hopefully states are gearing up for the second wave that will hit in the fall, because it is inevitable, especially if colleges tell all their students to come back to campus.

Edit: Even in the epicenter of infection in the US people won't do the right thing.

https://twitter.com/abgutman/status/1256931279968313344?s=19

I doubt there will be a second wave by Fall because this one hasn't stopped yet. We're going to see a massive spike in cases in two weeks due to all these assholes, and because states are going to be reluctant to lock down again anytime soon, this is just going to continue to increase for the next 4, 5, 6 weeks until hopefully someone decides to relent.

I go to the grocery store once every 3-4 weeks, unless we need something that can't be wait (diapers or medicine). We're going to order delivery for my wife for Mother's Day next week. That's as much exposure as we're willing to risk. Even if things went back to normal tomorrow I wouldn't go to a restaurant or a coffee shop or any physical retailer unless it was absolutely necessary, and even then only with a mask, gloves, sanitizer, etc.

I feel bad for small business owners who are going to get cratered but I'm not risking my health or my family's health and a fair number of people will probably feel and act the same way, despite the dumbs out on the street.

I've had people respond really negatively to me pointing out these protests are white privilege on display. Funny every time i point out the crowds are all pure white throwing Trump rallies and comparing not being able to get a haircut to the gassing of millions of Jews in camps no one seems to hit back
