    What about 28 Days Later? It's pretty plausible. One example of that is that guy in Florida who attacked someone and ate his flesh in the public naked.

    You are on another stupid streak, Trump is a divider. He has been successful at it. He started with Obama's birth certificate and now he is ripping at the CDC and WHO. Every step of the way he taught more hate to his followers. They all have a hate button that he pokes when another diversion is needed. You guys are such babies.

Trump & most Democrats are no different. You're either mask or anti-mask, shutdown or re-opening, pro-Fauci or against, etc.

    I'll tell ya - it's depressing. If we can break the partisan divide for something like this, it's unlikely we ever will. I feel like we're more politicized now than ever. I think many would rather see the virus win than see either Trump or Democrats be wrong or right about anything.

    Not sure when this happened. We weren't like this during the Great Depression or WWII.

    Trump is an asshole. He was impeached. He is the problem.

    Not everywhere, but many places in America. Enough to where it's a real and serious problem.
    Yeah right. I blame it on Foxification pushing anger and inadequacy of the rightys. The left is not walking around with guns and taking them in the Lansing capitol building. Fox has help from absolutely crazy fomenters of anger in Breitbart, Infowars and others. You want "news" that is managed to create hate and anger, there it is.

    Ya think?

    You want to draw parallels between WWII and WW COVID19?

    FDR had polio and at least two mistresses. No one ever knew anything about that stuff except the family and the press, and it was pretty much a secret until he died and the war was over. Thirty times during his 3 terms, he held "fireside chats" that almost everyone in the country with a radio listened to. The man never wore a uniform, yet he comforted everyone in a time of the most savage warfare ever seen on the planet, PLUS a world-wide depression. Henry Lewis Stimson, a conservative republican, was his secretary of war. FDR did a couple of unconstitutional things during his tenure. Overruled by SCOTUS, rewritten, enacted, we moved on. Imagine that! No investigation! Not impeached!

    Oh, you want parallels? Both Trump and FDR are cheerleaders. FDR never wore a uniform, Trump does not have a medical degree. FDR was allowed to be a cheerleader...and that's where the parallels stop. You want "unity"? Write to pelosi and the rest of those anti-America schmucks in congress, and the MSM, and tell them to STFU and let Trump fail. Everybody knows that's what the left wants, they've squawked about it for 3 years, so shut up and let it happen

    crass political analysis is Trump wants to raise the economy from the dead. Dems want Trump to fail..do the math
