The Red State vs. Blue State stuff is asinine. Not all of it is Trump's fault, but here are facts.
Trump is the leader of the entire country. He has downplayed COVID-19 from the beginning and did little to nothing in the month of February into early March. He presided over the bungling of the first tests, and the scattershot and idiotically run PPE task forces. He publicly praised China and had little to no procedures for USA citizens coming from China. He acted slowly on Europe and exempted entire countries before changing his tune. Then domestically he pushed for reopening everywhere without following his own guidelines. He's pushed phony science (Hydroxycloroquine sp., injecting bleach, sunlight) and exuded false confidence ("it will go away like a miracle"). Since reopening he's made a public show of not wearing a mask turning a public health issue into a political one. He's encouraged irresponsible behavior in that way, and then held indoor rallies and events that fly in the face of the guidelines of his own health officials. Yes, there're other factors, but the president is not doing a good job. He doesn't believe in science and believes in his gut instead.

Joe Biden: I Will Force Americans to Wear Masks in Public. Former Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that he would compel Americans to wear masks in public if elected president.
Biden is such a freaking idiot. I certainly will vote against him and against anyone else who threatens to violate people's personal rights.

That's just great LR. NOT. Quite banning people because you don't like what they say. All of us can just NOT give it any attention if we don't like it.
I agree with you. Bernie Sanders said there should be no billionaires, and I agreed with him. Bernie Sanders was not banned.

If this is all Trump's fault, and Democrats do a better job of social distancing, wearing masks, etc., then explain to me how the death rate per million in states that voted for Trump is 36% of what it is for states that voted for Hilary
Careful, Joe, you might be banned for telling the truth.
Personally, I feel that people who want to restrict their breathing and choke to death should be allowed to do so.
Likewise, those of us who want to keep breathing freely and living without wearing a breathing restrictor should be allowed to do so.

Watch out, LetsRun may remove your post and account for not complying to their group think. LetsRun is allowing all this liberal garbage but deleting any opposing viewpoints. Idiots.
Crazy mofo liberal low iq masked lunatics. What a bat sh*t crazy cult. It's like the Christian loonies three hundred years ago forcing you to wear a cross or else...God will kill you or they will.
God of media says you must wear that mask or you will die. Or everyone else will die. Or we will just kill you. It's true. Don't worry there are no trusted verifiable sources for proof of anything. You best believe us. Once you take off that mask ten people drop dead somewhere. All your fault.
Don't pay attention to the fact that we never wore masks before and we allowed millions to die of flus and colds. Lots of little children. Could have prevented that simply by wearing those trusty masks for the past 100 years. Never mind that. Just listen to us when we tell you you better wear that mask and we'll tell you when to stop. We know what's good for you.

Wow great response lol. You must be a low IQ clown. Trump simply dropped the ball on covid and now he's going to lose the election. He's done.
And you must be a paid Democratic troll. ? All you Democratic trolls throw out the "low IQ" remark when a conservative makes fun of "Sleepy Joe."
Sleepy Joe vs Trump in the debates will show the nation what a clown your nominee is ? (if Sleepy Joe can even remember there's debates this fall). Trump destroyed your "golden girl" in the last debates and that's why so many people that were on the fence voted for Trump.
It's must be an embarrassment to be a Democrat these days considering your last two candidates; Hillary Clinton and now Joe Biden? Sad that this is the best the Democrats can do.? People are going to be reluctant to vote for some old stiff that doesn't know if he's foot or horseback half the time! Lol.
It'll be a 2nd term for Trump and Sleepy Joe will end up in assisted living!
I thought is was “moran”??
He should wear a Silence Of The Lambs mask.

Lol how hard is it to wear a mask? If everybody wore a mask we would get rid of this thing faster and the economy would go bigly up.

THOUGHTSLEADER is like gangrene at the point where it is too far gone and you must chop off the legs, but l'll give it a shot. It is indisputable that wearing face masks will negatively affect the health and immune system of the wearer. Duh.
But the customary argument about face masks is that it is not about you, but protecting others from contracting the virus. The smallest pores in the mask are several hundred times larger than the viral particles getting out of the mask. Therefore, the particles will get out regardless of the mask's supposed protective measures.
And as I've observed hundreds of times, people are constantly adjusting the masks and then spreading their viral smudge over everything that will be contacted by future shoppers.
Masks are dehumanizing, disgusting muzzles that the unaware sheep will enthusiastically wear to appease the manipulative forces that hypnotize the public.
I see the same people making both these arguments:
Viruses are TOO SMALL to be blocked by a mask but
CO2 IS blocked by your mask. (note CO2 is 200-500 times small than a viron)
Makes perfect sense. I love these talking points!
Both the amount, and the percentage of oxygen is reduced by wearing a mask. Normal oxygen in the air is 21 percent, which can be reduced well below 17 percent when wearing a mask, an unhealthy level which can cause serious problems. Likewise, the percentage and amount of carbon dioxide retained by the body is increased, as are other waste products normally expelled by the lungs.
If you wish to put your body in such a condition with a breathing restrictor then go right ahead.
However, those of us who wish to keep breathing freely and living without wearing a breathing restrictor should be allowed to do so.
Democrats are “funny”
Oxygen levels reduced from 20.5 to 17.4 percent in a mask experiment, even with an opening in the mask.

LRC Note: This visitor has been banned. Why? If he or she wanted to start a thread about Biden requiring people to wear masks, we probably would allow it. But then posters screen name of "vote RED (Remove Every Democrat)!!!! " is unacceptable as was the message of their post. "Only morons are voting for Biden. Democrats lose again!!!!" That has nothing to do with the article they are posting. In the coming months, we are going to really try to keep people to stay on topic in threads. To label an entire group of people as morons or losers won't be tolerated."
This "person" needed banning days ago. They have been trying to encourage a lot more dismissiveness among Americans. Don't wear a mask. Freedom. Remove people if they are Democrats. The child needs to be given a permanent timeout.

17.4% is the O2 level at just under 5000 ft. You are still in the "green zone" at 16% O2 art 7000 feet. Pike's Peak is at 14,000 ft and 12% O2. Your 3% O2 "drop is nothing to worry about.
https://www.wildsafe.org/resources/outdoor-safety-101/altitude-safety-101/high-altitude-oxygen-levels/At altitude you're not forced to constantly rebreathe carbon dioxide and other waste products from your lungs.
If you were, regardless of who you are, you would certainly feel the difference, and many people would soon be in serious trouble.
