wait that is a doubling time of more than three weeks. even assuming new york ain't the crazy town no more, that's already wrong.

It hasn't even really hit, like, Chicago yet. Once it starts warming up, things are going to be interesting.

is it legal in the us for an organized group to go into a government building with assault rifles

i assume not but us gun laws are dumb

those pics inside the building are honestly the craziest thing ive seen in years

In Pennsylvania bringing a weapon of ANY sort into any state government building is a felony, I can't imagine Michigan isn't the same.

Yeah, his supporters are the shittiest human beings imaginable and they think his hosed up behavior is a positive, not a liability.

I’m watching PA social media and it’s completely loving insane, reopening is being presented as the only reasonable choice between “stay home and go bankrupt” or “go to work and possibly die.” Anyone who suggests caution is a neckbeard loser who lives in their mom’s basement and has no job. It really is incredible.

I drove in to hospital for call and I came to the realization that it is impossible to do a proper lockdown. There is just no way to do this in america without a strong well coordinated plan from the federal government with heavy use of national guard.

Just loving open it all back up who loving cares anymore, rip the band aid off America's gaping you know what and let the small business tyrants enjoy their hastened bankruptcy as the 30 million unemployed remain unemployed with no discretionary spending.

Only way we can get any leftward progression is if we just accelerationist this bad boy and let all the succ libs and chuds realize how absolutely hosed it all is when we come out of quarantine.

Talking to people on the internet that aren’t in this thread is frustrating as gently caress because so many of them never grow past their teen boy “sociopathy is badass” phase and think it’s cool and masculine to talk about how grandpa needs to die so they can go golfing. It’s beyond depressing.

We’re driving down into Rostraver PA on Rt 51 today to do some trail riding and we just passed a roadside bbq/ice cream place. Packed to the tits. So many cars I thought it was a dealership storage lot at first. Piles of people in line and congregating at tables. No distancing at all. Good god.

We went trail riding today and drove to an isolated trailhead. Rolled into beautiful connellsville PA and they’re literally having a parade with fire trucks and sirens and no social distancing at all, very few masks. This is a big stop in the great Allegheny passage. Completely insane.

Reminder that many of the protestors are in fact desperate and it's actually our weakass social safety net that makes any kind of lockdown extremely temporary. Yes many of the protestors would be against socialism as well but

Many of these protestors are carrying around thousands of dollars in toys. One woman at the PA “rally” had a $4k min camera rig. The tactilol kits cost at least as much. These are not financially desperate people.

I've seen that talking point get repeated by people like Eli Massey and I think it's time the American left just gets put out to pasture.

70% of these protestors that were polled (or answered) said they were still working.

It isn't about a safety net, this is either about A> small business owners not being able to get their employees to go back to work, or B> not being able to abuse working people for fun like they usually do.

These are people who took up arms at the behest of their openly fascist daddy and I have absolutely zero reason to find common cause with them or have sympathy for them. None of this poo poo was happening until Daddy provoked it.

new cases have a 5 to 10 day lag from infections and deaths have a 10 to 18 day lag from symptoms so the new cases are probably from the last week or two. the new deaths, which are basically flat, are from mid April.

Killing is the intention, this is a move towards an openly one party state.

The GOP is a top down org, senators and reps at the federal level have strategy and messaging calls every day. The messages get distributed to the voters via Fox News at night.

The message lately has been that democrats are running things into the ground with lockdowns and that they must be recalled. The base will foment the next step themselves, that Democrat governors must be removed by any means necessary

I didn't know that approximately 50% of Americans were at these protests. crazy that I missed that. I had thought that reopening states had minority approval and that 70% of these protesters were still employed.
