Nope, nope nope

IF he loses, they'll blame everything on Biden (see: Obama, Barrack H.) and the GOP will be continue to be overrun and stuck with DJT 2.0 as they all try to out conservative each other. If he somehow wins, as it stands right now, we'll know for sure that there IS an actual fix taking place while 40% of the country says "see? Told you the news/polls were fake". How can you be so obtuse to this constant doubling down and how gradually normalized this poo poo is becoming?

Trump's not going anywhere, win or lose, and his cult will follow him. Future candidates will be beholden for whatever passes as "news" on whatever TV show he winds up on while they cram all every gerrymandered district int eh country full of Tea Party Qanon true believers. WE're past the point of being able to laugh at these people or assume that the people running know better. They are IN the government now. And we'll get 4 years of calling for investigations into voter fraud as Biden does his best to weakly urinate on a country that's in complete flames.

We all made fun of the Tea Party folks too and now that seems almost quaint.

quote:

SMITH: To be clear, while you are saying how important it is to get kids back into school and do so safely, you are encouraging that CDC guidance be followed, that there’s mask wearing, social distancing, and all of the precautions that they’re recommending?

ATLAS: Not for children. That would be irrational. It doesn’t matter if children get the disease. They don’t get sick from this. And the data shows that they do not significantly transmit to adults. And this is data.

SMITH: Isn’t it the point to stop the spread – and, sorry, don’t mean to cut you off. But, I mean, the science shows that mask wearing stops the spread of the disease. And don’t we have a collective duty in this country to stop the spread?

ATLAS: You either believe in the science or you say you believe in the science and act contrary to science. The science says — and this is data from Iceland, Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, the U.K., Australia, Canada, Ireland, everywhere in the world, Germany, everywhere in the western world has shown that children do not transmit significantly to adults, even their own parents, and that teachers are not at higher risk of getting a disease like this disease from children. You either believe the science or not. You can’t insist you believe in the science and then act contrary to science. And, by the way, like I said, we are the only country not opening schools. This is absurd.

quote:

ATLAS: I believe that there is zero reason, in fact, zero excuse to not have the schools open in person. The Hospital for Sick kids [Children] in Toronto, one of the world’s best hospitals, just delineated this. Schools must be in person, no masks, no spacing, because children are not at risk. If you believe that there should be some kind of restriction on schools —

SMITH: Okay.

ATLAS: — you’re not talking about children.

SMITH: It’s a fascinating conversation. I don’t mean to cut you off but there’s so many things to talk about there. There are kids who fall into the high risk category. There are kids with asthma. How do you protect them?

ATLAS: Well, of course. There is a small minority of children that are at high risk, and those kids need to be protected. That’s always true. Seasonal influenza is more risky for children, more than COVID-19. Seasonal influenza is transmitted from children to the high risk adults who are teachers every year. Seasonal influenza in California, the percent of deaths in children was 5.4%. Zero kids have died from COVID-19. If teachers think that they can’t work during this, then they absolutely must say that we have to close schools from November through April.

quote:

ATLAS: I’m saying look at the science. I’m saying use critical thinking and logic. Certain things are known. If you don’t believe in the science, then stop saying you believe in the science. The science says open the schools. The science says there’s no risk to children. The science says teachers are not at risk if they go to school.

Rush couldn't stop gushing about some guy named Scott Atlas the other day on his show, because the guy apparently says children are basically immune to covid and it's practically impossible for them to transmit it to adults so there's zero reason to not reopen schools.

I guess Biden is apparently in cahoots with the Toronto city government? I know that they are huge on pushing the whole "THEY'RE GONNA TAKE YOUR CHRISTIANITY AWAY" narrative, but this seems particularly loving stupid.

Leofish posted:

This has "Toronto is in Canada" trending in Canada, which I particularly love.

Also, the City of Toronto didn't ban communion. The Province of Ontario put limits on gatherings inside places of worship and the Archdiocese modified how it's delivered.

Here's a trustworthy article on how it's done. https://globalnews.ca/news/7116306/coronavirus-toronto-eucharist-modifications/

I thought I was having a stroke trying to make sense of that tweet. From "Toronto is in Canada" to "what does this have to do with Joe Biden" like whiplash. These people are graceless, crass morons and their fans are even worse.

Leofish posted:

Ingraham knows that a portion of her fans aren't even going to bother to check. They're going to see an inflammatory article that says "war on Christianity" and go "Yup, that's what Joe Biden wants" and just mentally ignore the lack of connection between Toronto Catholics and Joe Biden.

This Atlas guy knows what he’s talking about. One time a bully kicked sand in my face at the beach and took my girl. Scott Atlas taught me that by doing certain stretches for minutes a day I could grow big muscles too. I punched the bully in the face and got my girl back.

This is right on the money. It's fascist propaganda. Roping you in and dragging you down to the mud with facts like "The gently caress? It's Canadian!" is exactly where they want conversations to go. The real message under the surface to their fash-followers is entirely emotional. It's "the bad people do a bad thing and want to be bad to do more bad." When everyone else reacts to the surface idiocy and bullshit factual errors it spreads the emotional message under the surface for them, drawing the lines of society the way they want them.

Pumping out an endless stream of this propaganda and forcing the rest of the world to exist in the fog of hatred it creates is how they operate.

I'd just be perfectly happy with him not poisoning the world anymore. I dont really believe in an afterlife or anything like that but I think we all know where he'd end up if the Judeo-Christian model was correct. In my reality, I'll just settle for him being gone. He's done so much damage I doubt we'll ever see it undone in my lifetime, though.

Oh I'm just saying Trump himself will be tossed aside the instant he's no longer of value to them, of course Trump 2.0 will take right over where he left off. I just think the new hotness will usurp the cult as soon as it's viable to do so, these people don't like sharing worshippers.

CodfishCartographer posted:

See I'm not quite sure on this, I feel like Trump has uniquely built up his image over decades to perfectly appeal to the cult, which is why it has exploded in size so much to support him. Trump is loving stupid but is so full of himself in the ideal way to get chuds following him.

Also I'm not fully convinced that the Secret Service or the military necessarily WOULD come knocking on the white house door if Trump doesn't leave. That would require the people commanding them to deliver those orders. What's stopping them from going "Well, the president has said that the election was rigged, and it's still being investigated / rescheduled. Having a president is key in these trying times, we're not going to enforce some archaic law that would destroy America just because the democrats are throwing a tantrum that their plan to rig the election failed." Like, it'd be super easy to come up with a reason for the people who should enforce this to just...decide not to.
