    A) No, you do not.
    B) How do you get 0.7% in your age range in your State? That sounds like you are saying that 0.7% of the deaths in your State are in your age range as opposed to the percentage of those infected in that age range which end up dying.

    They should be "thanking" the 5 Democrat Governors that forced contagious patients into the Nursing Homes where over 1/2 the deaths came from in their states.

    Trump provided those idiots with hospital ships, full hospitals, doctors, all the equipment they asked for.... and they still ****ed it up.

    How ironic that you should say that: Drumph and his motley crew (and all the Trumpetts) are nothing but bile and hatred. That's what he won on: hatred of just about anything that isn't white and clinging to archaic 1950s values.

    I've heard this before from conservatives in regard to other conservatives. It was one of Rush Limbaugh's favorite memes

    I disagree, however, that it's how they really think. It's propaganda.

    Most conservatives don't see themselves as any kind of majority and they are proud of that idea. They see themselves as the precious few. The real rulers of society. They are the original elitists. Most are addicted to the idea that "blood will tell" and see poor people as mentally, physically, socially and of course, racially and ethnically, inferior to anyone who has less money than they do for whatever reason. They sometimes are (or MUCH more commonly have found some imaginary indication from somewhere that they are) descendants of European nobility. This is why they are often obsessed with their family tree If they are poor as churchmice that's only because of the "race traitors" and others that have robbed them, either now or in the past. Endemic racism is, of course, central to this worldview

    They also hate democracy. They believe strongly that the "masses" are stupid, venal and need to be ruled with an iron hand for their own good

    My own theory is that most of them are descendants of the Tories who remained loyal to the UK in the Revolution, at least that's what they act like though my knowledge of Ameican History seems to indicate that is a quite a-historic idea.

    Right, "**** my grandparents and all the newborns, I wanna go bowling". Hopefully, there will not be too many bereaved parents as a result of that thinking or it is very possible that illegal immigrants will not be the only ones we are throwing out of the country.

    Those ships were provided specifically to handle overflow from hospitals. Covid patients were turned away from them. No hospital has been provided all the equipment and PPE they asked for even yet.

    Very good points. If by oligarchy you mean the political parties, then I agree completely. And when somebody slips through their life is made into a virtual hell. I stopped voting some time ago after I understood that is accomplishes nothing.

    If Trump wants to be re-elected he better stop teargassing his own people. Or threatening to have em shot.
    Even Hitler had the good sense not to attack German citizens (excluding Jews) before he was elected.

    But this is my point; If Trump threatens to have protesters shot do we still believe he cares about being democratically re-elected?
    What idiot would still vote for him?

    When it comes to hating him Trump has already decided it doesn't matter any more, election-wise.

    Trump is gonna consolidate his power, by any means necessary... He's not gonna let a minor issue like an election defeat stand in his way.
    (If he can't avoid having one)

    He has moved on.

    Unlike Trump, these Democratic Governors have a very high approval rating.

    They acted quickly, with leadership and with empathy. They never tried to downplay the severity of the pandemic.

    There's a very good chance they'll all be reelected.

    Obviously, like all Trumspters, this is something you don't understand.

    But you can't deny the facts.

    Trump's garrulous MOUTH has indeed been his own worst enemy, along with his boneheaded belief that focusing all his effort on doing what's good for stock market 'casinos' is the best political course of all. Too bad for Trump that there are FAR fewer people who 'kill it' on Wall Street than there are people in the bottom-feeding 'underclass' who live on credit cards, crap-pay jobs, and government 'subsidies', plus other welfare programs every day of their miserable lives.

    So, instead of re-electing Trump, Americans will vote for a genuinely senile, wholly-corrupt piece of ancient Democrat baggage like Joe Biden....

    We'll have to find something else and be a lot more creative because Biden leads Trump by 10%.

    Maybe bring out old material like The Ukranian Case, Obamagate and Tara Reade ?

    Who are you kidding? you would never get in a back and forth where the stupid and racist things Biden has said and done over the years is discussed. Maybe you would like to prove me wrong?

    That's great.

    It's bound to have an impact on the electorate eventually.

    If 1/3 of our population is "Independent" why are we so locked into a two party system?
