"SNIP.....

“Multiple leading conservative advocacy groups plan to soon announce a joint coalition to demand the reopening of the U.S. economy despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, pushing for government authorities to loosen restrictions against the warnings of leading public health experts,” the Washington Post reports.

1. How does he propose to "reopen" the economy?

I just read a report in CNN that the governors of NY, CT, PA, DE, NJ and RI on the one hand and the governors of CA, OR and WA on the other had formed pacts to decide when to reopen their economies. I doubt that IL will reopen simply because tRump orders it done. So, just what economy of consequence is tRump going to reopen? FL? TX? Of course MS and AL!

The eastern states and the western states should secede and leave the Jesus lovers and their powerhouse economies to fend for themselves. Progressive residents “left behind” could emigrate to the new countries.

5. It's a

useful tool for the states to align in regions as they are. Some of us are landlocked. Montana is surrounded by ND, WY and ID... there's nobody adjacent to align with unless the western states let us join the club. We have natural resources. But that's beside the point which is, states that are vital to the economy aligning as they are and working without the feds makes a statement that the WH can't ignore.

His outbursts today are in response to the states aligning because he feels threatened by that, and he should, because it's one of the tools we have to stop him from completing his diabolical plan to destroy us and the country.

We are already in a state of general strike, we should make use of it. This is an opportunity to make some demands.

US death toll—HALF A MILLION DEAD during the 1918–1921 epidemic.

7. What a funny word, Conservative.

From the article:

“In ruby red states, “People are ready to get back to work,” said Mississippi state Sen. Chris McDaniel (R), a longtime tea-party activist. “There is some despair. People have a lot more time on their hands with the anxiety and the joblessness. The process for unemployment has become cumbersome and slow and getting more upset by the day.”

Translation: Our terrible unemployment system is being exposed and it’s making us look bad.

“There’s a massive movement on the right now, growing exponentially. In the next two weeks, you’ll see protests in the streets of conservatives; you’ll see a big pushback against the lockdown in some states. People are at the boiling point,” said Moore, who declined to comment on the group. “If this were Hillary Clinton doing these things, you already would have riots in the streets.”

Translation: We’re holding our crazies back, but we can’t hold long. Sounds like the Tea Baggers may be regrouping.
