These people are f'ing dangerous.

The sad thing is they've always been with us. But Trump has given them a sense of righteousness and power. Also with camera phones, their actions are captured for history, where before there was no way to document their hatred.

Houston's ICU beds are almost at capacity.
She is denying facts that her local news is showing her daily.
No way to argue with willful ignorance.

Scary to think that we have fellow citizens living amongst us that could have such unhinged beliefs. I guess we shouldn't be surprised that Qanon has taken off given the psychopathy of individuals like this

She needs to be made to watch a video of what the ICU's look like in her local hospital.

I think it was a video I couldn't watch, that shows what a removed vent tube looks like when it's removed from a covid patient. She should have to watch that.

Our council voted 8 to 1 to require masks. The nasty rhetoric from the tea party/trumper element was frightening. One of them was the owner of the liquor store in our neighborhood that we have spent a lot of money with in the past because they carry the scotch my husband likes. Not another dime is going into his pockets.

If was terrifying to listen to them, and to go out and see their fb pages and twitter accounts. They are currently plotting to recall the entire council (the one who voted against it just got beat in a runoff by a young woman who has a chemistry degree), and the mayor (who is a woman, they really hate women in power). I don't think they will be successful, but they have hired a political operative to help them get the signatures they need.

these people need de-programming. Maybe seeing themselves on video will help shake something loose.
