... how the preppers who shook their fists saying they would stay in their underground shelters, eating rations and pooping in a bucket for months, if that's what it took, have literally crumbled after less than a month.

If the virus doesn't get them, their clogged arteries will.

They always ended with, "if he's sick, let's help him, but first let's get him off the road."

They wouldn't be allowed to block the steps like that, and jack- booted thugs in riot gear would be putting them all in zip tie handcuffs. You know that's true.

Different laws for different people (D's vs. R's) These guys really OVE their guns, don't they? Every one of them is old enough to know better. Lack of intelligence maybe? Some are wearing masks, what are they afraid of? Too bad their esteemed leader does not show up at some of these rallies, to show his support. Crowds not large enough yet? Afraid of leaving the WH, where everyone is tested for the virus before being allowed into his presence? These people should be ashamed of themselves, putting the rest of us at risk.

I mean, one of them probably had COVID, so they all have it now and will take it home to their families.
But still, that's a pretty small group to even care about.

Remember give them lots of space they are ready to explode from all the beer and swelled heads.
I got the fire hose ready so we can wash the slime away when they are done.
