I will tell you another very harmful product coming from Trump Administration from all the lying.

And all the lying from too many Republicans and Govs in red state. And the CDC for crying out loud. And the doctors Trump puts on tv.

We cannot believe anything.

In a time of crisis, it is CRITICAL to be able to believe what we are being told.

Three months in, reflecting on video'd quotes and statements from the past, we know they lie. All the fuckin' time. And not a single one of us can believe anything we are being told.

This is another very important reason the strong majority of people are still sitting in our homes, and questioning going back to work. We have had a lot of time doing nothing, while studying, researching, being educated about C19. Trump is now dealing with an highly educated public. That never serves Republicans well. The majority of us, for a fact. I mean, his believers is getting smaller and smaller and Republicans are seeing it in Texas, Georgia and Az. And more clear to all of us their motive as they wear masks to hold up signs protest saying HOAX, while carrying guns, and barbie dolls lynched, while threatening death to the liberals, lol.

It is crazy that Trump and Republicans have been allowed to have created this atmosphere. And none of us are going to budge. Because we cannot believe anything being said.

It really is an incredible time to be living.

Completely intentional to undermine the idea of objective truth/facts and reliable information. They’re gaslighting the nation.

They create the blue wave.

We are not going to go out there and stoke the economy.
