A terrifying but possible support movement for T right now.

My tolerance level for arrogant ignorance began to dive about twenty years ago when I worked for a company in Upstate NY. Since then it has continued to drop like a rock thru water, and, over the past few months, it has bottomed out and kept going. I'm at the point where I believe people would do anything and justify it by refusing to look at reality.

So, I said to myself this morning, what would happen if somebody started a solidarity movement right now to support T: "Let's deliberately catch Covid to show him we care." A web site, an FB page, whatever.

Given the past few months, I have to believe that at least a few thousand people, and maybe many more, would go along with this. Never mind that they could die from it and/or infect thousands more innocent people. I totally believe this could happen.

It's terrifying.

"Only the weak suffer and die from it.

Show you are strong. Beat Covid like Trump!"


I could see something like that catching on.

He got treatments that the average citizen he has KILLED THROUGH NEGLIGENCE cannot access. PERIOD!!!

A caring human being would be stating in the press that they feel better, they are incredibly grateful to THE TAXPAYERS OF THE USA and the DOCTORS who saved his worthless ass and that his mission in life will be to provide the same level of care and ACCESS to ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS. He will have no higher calling or purpose than seeing to it that COVID-19 is crushed before January 21, 2021.

The odds on THAT happening? About the same as Trump surviving WITOUT the care WE, THE PEOPLE, just provided his bloated ass.
