180k of the 220k covid dead are over 60. Slow-rolling mass murder of seniors

[Tanuki]

This is an atrocity by any measure, a selective culling by the same people who are trying to destroy Social Security and Medicare. Not too many dots to connect to get the picture.




(That statistic jumped out at me when I saw this ad: )

1. They want seniors to die

and save the social security, pensions (for those who still have them), medicare and such. Then they can raid those funds for more tax cuts for their playmates.

7. That's been their most reliable voting bloc. They are hastening their own demise.

[Sherman A1]

10. They want the money

and figure they can continue the snow job of the rural areas and blue collar types awhile longer.

11. I don't agree. Repugs have been trying to get rid of SS and Medicare for decades now

How did they EVER have the support of senior citizens? Are they all blind?

[bullimiami]

12. It doesn't make sense but it's true. Maybe this will finally be real that.

[The Mouth]

17. Cultural appeal is my guess.

Issues like LGBTQ equality, climate change, 'Columbus Day' (and all it stands for/against), and addressing systemic racism have been anathema to a large swath of senior citizens for decades; easy to push the fear button when you have people tearing down statues, talking about banning (gasoline) cars, etc.

2. Any excellent reason for former spring chickens not to vote for

Donnie. We’re the age cohort most vulnerable to dying from the COVID 19 virus.

3. herd immunity . . .

Seniors are expendable. Also POC too.

[Tanuki]

5. All the right people are dying, in their view.

[Delphinus]

14. Yeah,

don't know whether to scream or cry. Both.

[JCMach1]

15. And it's scientifically wrong with this virus ad we don't know how long

True immunity lasts.

Trust if I hear the word herd start coming coming from someone's mouth I am kicking their imbecile teeth in

4. The death count of many many more seniors remain lost from the total.

Red states and municipalities have intentionally fudged the numbers to make trDump and his merry band of Fascists look good and on top of the Coronavirus pandemic issue.

[Tanuki]

6. True. As bad as the numbers are, they vastly underestimate the reality.

[uponit7771]

8. WHOA !!!

[malaise]

9. This is genocide

plain and simple. These monsters need to be locked up for mass murder.

[DallasNE]

13. So How Many Of Those Tested Positive

Are over 60 so we calculate just how fatal this is for seniors. Indeed, why not break this down in 10 year increments. By 10 year increments what is total population, number infected and number fatal. I'm guessing this number is already floating around somewhere if you knew where to look.

16. Which is one of the reasons seniors are abandoning him in droves.

They're not stupid. They see what's going on. They know he will them all, and gut Social Security and Medicare to destroy any he doesn't kill.
