The sad thing is, it IS tied to their adulation of Trump.

Had Trump, from day one, taken this seriously, said it was a major problem and that we needed to take extraordinary steps to protect our people, I don't doubt his followers would have followed what he said.

Alas, he refused that route. He planted seeds of doubt. Downplayed it. Suggested it was a hoax. Now they're all-in on the idea.

These people will do ANYTHING he says.

Masks and social distancing are liberal propaganda designed to hurt Trump, because the virus is a hoax, or at worst just a touch of flu.

... in their minds.

Plenty of MAGATs admire Cheeto Benito, however, and he doesn’t GAF about his admirers.

These people get all worked up...vein-popping worked up..arguing about wearing a frigging mask. Not a lot of thinking going on there.
