GOP Hypocrisy

MAGA Heads Gloat About Coronavirus Hitting Blue States Because of ‘Dumb’ Democrats Effort to Oust Trump

By

No words.

Fans of President Donald Trump on Twitter over the weekend put forth theories about why reports of the coronavirus have been mostly confined to states controlled by Democrats.

Before we get to their theories and self-righteous perception, let’s all answer the question for them. We all know the answer.

First of all, let’s establish why the Pacific coast states are “blue” in the first place. They attract some of the most high-performing citizens in the nation, whether it is Silicon Valley, Seattle – home of Amazon, Microsoft, Nintendo and Starbucks, San Francisco and LA being world destinations … these states are, obviously “blue” states as they’d never vote Republican.

Second, being Pacific rim states, these states are by necessity the landing spot for business and family traveling from other Pacific rim countries. It makes sense that the virus would first appear along the rim.

Third, Donald MANGO-Head Trump flew many cases of the virus directly into norther California, right near where the first cases broke out. Of course, we’re obligated to also point out that cases have broken out in Arizona, Texas and Wyoming – all of which we are fine with being “blue” this year.

Those are just a few of the “real reasons.” Now, let’s get to the MAGA heads because I am positive these will be chock-full of great answers to the questions only they would ask:

I live down in the southeast sea of red. I really think that MAGA-heads need to be careful about commenting on “overall” healthiness of citizens. Red America is the center of overweight people. This might be only state in which I am considered a picture of health.

I think these people have been led to believe that the homeless problem only strikes blue states, and there are no homeless people in New Orleans, Atlanta, Memphis, etc.

The above is my “favorite” MAGA-head one. “Just saying” that I think that the ocean of red on Twitter who believe this crap (and there are a ton that do) are more easily defeated in November. Education turns one blue.

So so so self righteous and ridiculous. If the virus only turned up in Idaho, Mississippi and Texas, I’d be looking for the real reason, not accusing MAGA heads of being stupid.

I need to end on the one below, because it’s just too perfect a snapshot of the MAGA head mentality:

So many things here. Democrats are the ones responsible for the market collapse because we want it to defeat Trump. I had to answer this one, saying it can’t be that the markets actually reflect anger about Trump’s anemic response, right?

It is “sad” that this is where we are as a country? True. It IS sad that many actually believe this stuff.

It is the “truth” because he says it is the truth, because Trump – the liar – says it is the truth. Proven, in his mind.

We knew this was coming, and the arrival is right on time. Unfortunately, the virus’s arrival in the inner red states will be right on time, too. Perhaps we’ll never know, because the Trumpers won’t want the numbers reported because it will make Trump look bad?

****

Peace, y’all
