Yet nothing at all about the (R)-led states. How interesting.
LWers weren't protesting during a pandemic and violating stay-at-home orders. Totally different things, totally different times. No one would have cared or paid much attention if these assholes had just stayed in their vehicles and gridlocked everything like the original plan (In Lansing anyways that was the plan). But no, they had to get out and wave their Rebel flags around and act like pissy fools.
I heard yesterday that one of them tested positive but haven't been able to confirm that at all. Probably just a rumor. For now.

TBH, I haven't done or seen a correlation between how Left or Right the states were with the protests and the actual levels of severity the lockdown was. Not every city has all the same problems. Something worth examining.
Regardless, I have faith our system of government will allow a good middle-ground solution over the next six months.

ROFLMAO. Instead of "Thanks" and "Groans" we should have "Good" and "LMAO".
No doubt the US will see some places go well above the curve. The problem is this: "Where is the balance between an economic depression with a low body count and a prospering nation with a high body count?
The fact the Right Wing Nut Jobs won't admit bringing the economy back increases the body count is just another example they are science and fact-deniers.

Probably less. Even though I like the thought of less idiot Trump voters, I still don't want them to necessarily die. I especially don't want them to infect others who had nothing to do with their insanity -- their neighbors, casual contacts, someone at their grocery store, the health care workers who will try to save their miserable lives.

Yes, we'll work it out. It's just a shame that we have an IMPOTUS instigating this shit, with the very good likelihood that ppl who wouldn't have otherwise died are going to because of these misguided morons.
Michigan's lockdown is very similar to that of Vermont's. The difference? Vermont has an (R) governor, and is not in play as a battleground state. Michigan, Wisconsin, and Virginia are. It's not a coincidence; it is deliberate instigation of lawlessness by the IMPOTUS to further his re-election aims.

That's also my opinion. Whether or not it is enough to tip the election remains to be seen. Another consequence is a pissed-off base who, although they lived, found out the hard way that COVID-19 isn't a fake virus or "not as bad as the flu" which results in voters flipping or just staying home. A net erosion of the base.
