Coronavirus: The New Political Realism

The latest from the White House:

Probably will 'get worse before it gets better': Trump at pandemic briefing - https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...?ocid=msedgdhp

Buckle up, my friends. When Trump is convinced our Coronavirus will get worse, you know we've got problems. Is this a stop sign? No. Our country will handle it. We simply may be awaiting bad news. Personally, I'm pleased to see our President stepping up to the plate. He's doing what is necessary and needed. Kudos, Mr. President.

To all my friends, may you and your families be safe and well during these times.

I don't think Trump was really saying anything we didn't already know. Now if he came with the mask on and wear it more I think more would get the message.

Just another ploy to get voters to him.

He should lead by example.

That may or may not be the case in the White House bubble, but he has been all over (as in Tulsa) without the protection of the bubble or a mask. It seems the cult convinced themselves that to follow his example was somehow empowering and showed their misguided claim of "rights". :shrug:

I don't see him as an example... People need to think for them self.

There is an underlying issue here which I fail to understand. Somehow face masks along with many other safeguards became politicized. Face masks became, to many, a facial "bumper sticker" telling the world the wearer is a liberal---and if they are male---suffering from low T on top of that. Bizarre at best :uhuh:

I can't think of any previous phenomenon similar to this :dunno:
