I'm going to create an algorithm that generates Chapo episode transcripts based solely from what people post about them on the internet, then feed that into whatever the deepfake audio generator is, and call it Chapo Trap House 2 or Chapo GPT3 House.

Realistically, how many people listen to Chapo because they hate them and can’t wait to “gotcha” them? 10% 20% seems like, insanely high.

She's not wrong about the "bad air" thing. A friend of mine was so anxious about coronavirus that he was claiming that it's not safe to be on the street because passing joggers are leaving a trail of droplets behind them, and that it's not even safe to go to a mostly-empty beach because the wind currents are circulating everyone's breath up and down the coastline. I explained to him that this is called the miasma theory of disease and that it was discredited over a century ago.

A significant number of people were collecting every scrap of verified information they could about the problem, always assuming the worst-case projection, and then assembling these scientific facts into an unscientific belief. I think a lot of that has fallen by the wayside, though, because people are just exhausted with the prospect of trying to maintain cleanroom conditions in their home.

If the miasma people are advocating for the same precautions we need against aerosol spread I don’t see how that’s a bad thing. Oh no they reached the exact right conclusion but just arrived there the wrong way, I guess the correct conclusion is therefore actually wrong

The idea of Trump gaining “sympathy” is just absolutely bonkers. Absolute misreading of his entire political persona.

Yup. It's why the "it's a hoax" takes that were being bandied about (or still are) were incredibly stupid from the get-go.

And he went and immediately said it's nothing to worry about open everything up! Which fucks up any "sympathy" to be gained from such a stunt.

Glad to see we have some folks in Amber's corner here. Count me in. They boys take that catching COVID and surviving it hurts Trump in any way is pretty wildly optimistic. If anything Trump can say that he 'owned' COVID. Just saw a headline that his approval ticked up to 46%.

So, how many world leaders have caught this thing so far? Bolsonaro, Trump, and Boris Johnson?

It's not that he was caught being hypocritical, it's that saying a disease isn't poo poo and then getting put in hospital by it is an absolute bitch move and makes you look like a nerd wuss, the worst thing you can be in maga world

I have unlimited faith in the ability of chuds to handwave away anything they don't like. (Maybe if he survives with serious, not-easily-hideable health problems, that could cool them down. Maybe.)

he so easily couldve spun it in a way that makes him look sympathetic. even bolsonaro had all of those pictures of himself in a hospital bed. but hes instead just desperately trying to pretend that he was never sick at all and its a bad call imo. i dont think it helps him at all

It might dampen their enthusiasm a bit but they'll still crawl over glass to vote for him so it's a wash honestly

Its a weird situation where the only way people ever interacted with him online was by brutally owning him, so I dont think these people even have the capacity to mourn him without talking about his long rear end face
