1. Ah, those pesky "hoaxes" (eye roll)

2. And my Facebook is blowing up about it

My city, Wichita Falls, Texas a city of 100,000 is shitting a brick because of it. Of all the cities in the U S we have the 47th fastest growing cases of Covid. You would think that the governor was requiring all of our rednecks to vote for Biden. My Congressional district is the most republican of any district in Texas. My liberal friends here delight in trolling Republicans we don’t know on Facebook. It is quite the game and is so easy. We also have one of the lowest education levels of any city in Texas. Our Covid cases are up 400% in 3 weeks. My wife was told today that Covid was not even a disease. Oh the ignorance of so many.

4. These Repubs were SO insistent that masks were just to make Trump look like he failed.

Well, guess what? That's not what they're for after all! They actually have a significant impact on the spread of coronavirus.

But guess what else? Trump actually *did* fail, and you Republicans just need to accept that and start following the damn science.

Not that long ago he prohibited local jurisdictions from requiring masks.

He would not risk pissing off the kool-aid drinkers without reason.

And I peeked in at the Freepers. The Kool-aid drinkers are having a seizure
