The protesters who want to open up the economy, reflect Trump's "I don't give a shit mentality"

..It is all about their view about ideas. Their view is more important than anything else, and they are more important than anyone else. (even their closest friends, associates, and family).. Their "views" exceed ideas about caution, disease, and decency. If going out to protest the stay at home orders, kills friends, family & associates, & themselves... then that is just too bad.
...Just like Trump's.."It's all a hoax" statement. He is never "wrong" and never apologizes no matter what. If Trump had gotten very strong advise the next day, after that statement, from doctors in Italy, and if he had said, "I was wrong, this is extremely dangerous", please stay at home & protect your friends, family, & associates."

...Now let's say Trump said that last sentence. Would lives have been saved? How many? Hundreds? More? Thousands?...Not only lives saved, but sickness prevented..?

...The bottom line is being right is more important than anything else for Donald Trump. And Trump really doesn't give a shit about anyone else. And he never apologizes if he is wrong. Doesn't matter if that apology would save lives, he just doesn't do that. Guess what? That defines Mr. Trump more than anything else.

I called this in February . I told my bosses “Don’t poo poo this. This is going to be very bad”. I also said that MURKANs rugged individualism thing was going to be the main problem to this.

its a big middle finger to the evil liberals (us) with their extra favorite sweetener of strapping on the ARs for maximum intimidation purposes.

Fox and talk radio have spent years telling them their worldview and the other side is just a bunch of dumb libtards. So they really believe whatever their side thinks and wants is right. It’s not that they just don’t care, they think they know what’s best.
