That's a great point, pointing out the mootness of finger pointing small groups and applying their perceived actions to a whole.
It is inaccurate and not contributing to the thread no matter what group small group is being pointed out. Even a crowd of 300 isn't even remotely representative of the population no matter the composition of the group.
Makes more sense to say, hey look at all these people not doing it right...
Not, hey look at all the right wingers, or blacks, or whomever not doing it right. Must mean that none of them nationwide are doing it right.

Trump supporters are taking precautions if they can. I laugh at them because all they have is a shitty cloth mask because they let the president spoon fed them reassuring bullshit 2 months ago. They have to keep pace with him. When he backpedals, so do they. Am I evil if I get less upset when a trump supporter gets sick because they dont have PPE because they listened to Trump?
Youd think they would learn a lesson but the fact that they double down on justifying their lack of foresight by blame shifting just like trump makes sympathy hard

You said someone should kill the president the other day, you might as well just lean into the fact that you're a dick and stop pretending to be some upstanding citizen for any reason other than to fuel your own ego. Anyone who puts others at risk deserves criticism but you and Koods and a couple others are just in some kind of constant hate-circle jerk and it just isn't a good look when you're attempting to portray yourself as someone who's concerned with everyone's safety. I know I wouldn't want to be a patient of yours and I'm definitely not one of these idiots pretending it's a hoax.

Empathy is a major source of systemic incompetence. It is compassion we need. I have lots of it for humans in general. It just hard to extend a selfless attitude to people whose pride prevents them feom reciprocating.
Some of these trump people are so warped that they resent medical personnel. It is infuriating. We are cleaning up their messes snd dying in the process. If they choose to not only be ungrateful but SPITEFUL, I feel very little guilt about not feeling compassion for them as easily as I do for others. It may not be optimal, but it is certainly better than the prospect of a world where everyone is like them.
Put another way, if the answer tothe question "am i evil?" Is yes, then the people i am upset at are very very very evil . Two wrongs dont make a right but everyone has a breaking point

The point is really that all kinds of people are not adhering to guidelines.
And a lot of other people are.
So continuing to make it about people who either support or don't support the President is superfluous.

Eh, you're human. And honestly as long as you give them the same level of care and attention as anyone else, do what you gotta do to get through the day.
In a way, they're victims too though.
But I know that every person who doesn't take this seriously is putting you and your colleagues and all healthcare workers at greater risk and straining health care systems, so I get the anger. I am so sad and anxious about this all, and I get to stay home. If I was a public facing employee, and especially, a health care worker, I would be even more stressed out and probably very angry at people who are dicking around with this. Politicians included.

i said no such thing
Turns out anyone can try to rewrite history. trump only gets away with it because people are stupid. Im pkay with being a dick if what it means to be a dick is to not want psychopaths and their followers to ruin the planet for everyone else. Seriously, its fine with me. Hope this helps.

You said someone should assassinate the president, in pig latin. Quit lying. Sure there will be some here that would agree with you, but at least own the fact you said it.

Huh? You said it, that one person who +1ed you for it (Koods) knows I'm not lying. I'm sure you deleted it, probably just a few minutes ago. I wouldn't make up a lie like that.

Lol why does their race matter? You’re not calling the crowd looking through that window a bunch of white people. I’ve been calling out people who are doing their part this whole thread. I posted a picture today of my (very liberal) neighbors and you even commented on it. (Curiously, you didn’t call them a bunch of white people, either. Seems you only see race when the race is black)
Anyway, these people showed up with trump flags, Qanon shirts and MAGA hats. This was a political protest against stay at home orders, and their political affiliation is completely relevant. Their race is not.

Do I have to spell this out for you?
Trump tells blatant lies constantly in an attempt to rewrite history. Constantly.
"I dind't say anyone should kill the president! FAKE NEWS! You should be ashamed of yourself for asking a question. What you should be doing is asking how I do such a great job."
Get it now?
You are not doing the stereotype that people who defend Trump are stupid a favor.

totally understandable. i think when we see too much of the world and the worst of people it starts to turn off those responses in our brains that make us compassionate beings. thank you for doing what you do and i hope the best for you.

Plus, restaurants in my area are starting to advertise a roll of TP with purchase of a meal, and that information might be handy one day...
Lol. Whatever next, macdonalds advertising a free pack of Tums, and entry into a free *coronary bypass lotery* fanfare, with every happy meal.

What were they raging about.
My mother has told me about the things people did in Boston during World War Two to protect the country. Cities turned all the lights out at night so the enemy would not be able to target them.
They were fearful of being bombed, in Boston? USA? 5 Attacks on U.S. Soil During World War II https://www.history.com/news/5-attacks-on-u-s-soil-during-world-war-ii

You're implying I said race matters, which I specifically said the composition of the groups is a moot point no matter the race or political affiliation.

All presidents and politicians lie and that didn't have anything to do with what I said you were saying you ---No Flaming in the Pub--. Have the balls to admit what you said at least. Jesus Christ someone just give me a ban already
