MAGAThread XX: A Journal of the Plague Year

[Western Fardelshufflestein]

Honestly, all sides spew propaganda and we all pick to follow which line propaganda aligns with our values and beliefs. It's confirmation bias, yes, but it because the media is so politically charged it's what happens.

That's pretty reductive.

Probably.

Is it just me or do those new rubber Biden masks look a bit like Nicolas Cage when they're flat on a table, face-up?

As for the crowd numbers, it's still early (I think?) but the numbers are smaller than I expected.

I literally only have the USAToday article to go by saying 'tens of thousands', which seems like a lot to me. Pointless and since they're not masking up a superspreader event putting excess weight on the healthcare system when the pandemic is reaching new highs.

But whatever. They can hang out in the temporary structure they built to handle the extra cases with the people who were spinning in place last week without a mask. Maybe in times they don't have a ventilator down their throat they can gain an understanding of each other.

Propagandists spew on all sides? Nah.

Facts are objective. Ex: Let's look at the presidential election results. Biden decisively won the Popular vote and the Electoral vote.

Values and beliefs are subjective ideas. Ex: Breitbart conspiracy theories concerning voter fraud.

When you think facts are subjective beliefs, you have no clue about the truth. Maybe that's actually why you think propagandists spew on all sides.

A few very serious questions, I am not a doctor, I am not a scientist and I am not a health expert.

1 - If 2 persons or more live in a home, can a person at home affect you with the virus? If so under what circumstances?

2 - Like not wearing the masks at home with each other?

3 - Like not social distancing at home from each other?

4 - Other reasons?

Thank you all - GMS.

If things get bad for trump, is there anything to prevent him from fleeing to Russia and giving away classified information to Putin and friends?

He'll still have a security detail...I guess...

He will, your tax dollars at work. I wonder how the Secret Service detail would react if Trump proposed a little trip to Moscow.

So the liberal media twisting Trump's words into him saying that COVID was a hoax when he said that the Democrats politicizing COVID is not propaganda? Neither is falsely stating that Hispanic immigrants were being denied passports?

If neither is leaving the home, no. If 1+ people leave the home, then yes, there is a potential to bring the virus back.

Masks and social distancing aren’t always effective, obviously, even if they do help. Otherwise this thing would be over. So yes, you can spread them throughout the home if someone brings it back, even if you were taking those precautions.

1 - Yes, people living together can and do infect each other if one of them gets sick.

2 - Constantly wearing a mask at home may reduce your chances of catching it off someone you live with, but odds are that since they'll be near everything you eat off, drink from and the like that its not a guarantee.

3 - Keeping your distance from people you live with would likely reduce your chances of catching Covid off them, yes. Although, as I said above, since they're likely to be touching many things in the house it wouldn't be a totally safe bet.

4 - Yes, there's many ways someone can be infected with the virus from those one lives with.

Having said all that, I'm not a doctor either, that's just what I've gathered from hearing others speak. I think social distancing and wearing masks in your own home isn't needed if everyone in the house is taking the appropriate measures when outside the home - most people would find it tiresome to wear masks and avoid each other literally all day at home.

Unless you know someone in the house has Covid, in which case said measures would be very reasonable.

It would be unreasonable to require Congressional approval to leave the country. A hostile Congress would ground the President for basically no reason besides the bonus popularity Presidents get when they attend big conferences or summit meetings.

In the lame duck period after losing (or completing a second term) however, maybe it would be justified. The President is a flight risk!

It'll be pretty easy to add prison bars and an orange jumpsuit later if appropriate.

The 25th amendment exists for this reason.
