Well, Biden supporters are the majority of the country.

That said, most of the left-of-center types that I know who are anti-mask are hippie idiots who seem to think apple cider vinegar and chanting keeps their body pure and nothing so terrible as a virus could possibly happen to them. I doubt most of them voted.

That and poor people, or just young people. Sebby I said majority are Biden because I was talking people in Philadelphia along Broad Street.

I received two doses in NY before my dad in FL could get an appointment. I legit may need to fly him to NY because I can't afford to bribe DeShithead.

I keep kosher. Can you draw a brisket if I use you?

Re: Objectively intelligent.
 

I'm trying to understand the psychology behind conservative anti-mask sentiment, and the idea that it's just following Trump's lead seems thin to me. Thanks for trying to answer my question.

My folks had to drive across the state (to Miami) to get theirs.

Gotta say, Ross Douthat makes a lot of sense here.

Re: Objectively intelligent.
 

I got the impression he was terrified early on of the free fall of the stock market right about a year ago with the initial lockdowns, and he wanted people out and about spending money and working. So he downplayed it even more than he had in January / February, right around the time the CDC/Fauci etc. were sending the "wear a mask" message, which as Less has pointed out, was delayed and initially confused due to wanting to preserve N95s for healthcare. (I was part of the hunt for PPE in that stage, it was absolutely insane, and it cost an obscene amount of money that could have better been spent on patient care. And I'll forever loathe the administration for not getting that shit dealt with early on. Harbinger of things to come, etc.)

I also got the impression that he thrives on chaos and division, and the country INITIALLY was acting pretty united on how to handle this thing. Real easy wedge issue, especially when he personally hated wearing them because he thought they made him look weak.


BTW, our mask mandate ended a week ago today, and I haven't seen that many people without in the grocery stores, garden stores, or even the goddamned Tractor Supply in Crosby. We're close to last in vaccination rates, but apparently we're not entirely stupid.

If you're yearning for mask-free stupidity, maybe I'll post some pictures from my office next time I am in.

Objectively idiotic?
 

Can someone explain to me why the Minneapolis City Council’s decision to announce a record $27 million civil settlement with the Floyd family in the middle of jury selection for the Chauvin trial makes any sense? What am I missing? Two seated jurors have already had to be removed from the jury, other prospective jurors have been struck because of their reaction to the settlement, the trial judge has basically had to say on the record that he hopes city officials just shut the fuck up about it, and it appears that the City just handed Chauvin a tidy appeal issue before the trial even starts.
