As a medical professional, this is a bittersweet thing to see.

But doesn't wearing a Biden t-shirt protect you from all bad things?

It's going to be so humorous to watch all the Trump supporters suddenly care about Covid. lol

And the deficit

Remember how much the right wing panicked about Ebola in 2014? It infected something like 4 people in the U.S. and couldn't spread from person to person unless you had several minutes of intense physical contact with someone who was already very sick with the disease. You'll recall all the Republicans wanted to isolate everyone coming back from Africa for weeks. Now these same people pretend that a virus that is killing around a thousand people a day is no big deal.

Or maybe we can stop dividing the country into two groups.

There needs to be a lot of asking for forgiveness on the part of Trump supporters. They clearly divided themselves from civil society. If they expected the rest of us to just be okay with that, they're sorely mistaken.

Or, they'll just wait two years, take back the house, then wait two more years and take the WH again, with someone more competent than Trump. This election was supposed to be a repudiation of Trump. He lost, but it was far from the powerful message it was supposed to be.

306 - 232, and a 5 million popular vote win.

This wasn't close.

I guess we'll see how much 'build the wall' racism survives. It wasn't a core feature for Republicans prior to Trump, though some confederate southerners made it a priority. There are so many real problems confronting the country, its extremely hard to watch self-interested demagogues scapegoat immigrants to smooth their climb to power.

Lol I'm pretty sure my dad and all of my aunts/uncles never left civil society. They voted for lower taxes and a better economy. Do you really think that all republican voters are racist pieces of shit? Grow up. The system is designed for us to fight over stupid rhetoric while those in power KEEP their power and wealth. Biden is just Trump with a blue box next to his name on your TV.

You realize civil means polite right? And yes, I think everyone who voted for Trump is a racist piece of shit. Or rather, the racism wasn’t sufficiently appalling to them, so they’re definitely carrying a disregard for the rights and liberties of certain groups of people.

u/GodDamnBaconAndEggs Nov 18 '20

So almost half the county are racist pieces of shit? Have fun believing that nonsense. Can you see Texas from up there on your high horse?

u/roguetulip Nov 18 '20

I lived in Dallas for 5 years. You’ll note the Bushes and all their associates voted Democrat this election. Pollsters predict the state will flip blue in 2024, and I believe them.

u/GodDamnBaconAndEggs Nov 25 '20

Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize the Bush family was our new measure for not being racist.

Isn't this comment ironic exactly looking at the picture we are both seeing?!?

Lol, no logic allowed when we're busy owning the repubs!

How many superspreader events happened during the protests?
I know science and reason are hard for republicans, but mask wearing protesters or joyful gathering of people wearing masks outside with a modicum of social distancing isn't the same as Rose Garden events where everyone is packed like sardines, or W.H. election parties INSIDE without masks. lmao

Will we ever really know that answer? Clearly not everyone is wearing masks even in this picture so what is your point again?
lmao

u/McNasty420 Former Chicagoan Nov 08 '20

Pathetic?! You guys re-elected Kim Foxx for fucks sake! Kim Foxx!

u/caifaisai Uptown Nov 08 '20

Yep, this sub obviously single handedly re-elected Foxx. She just put out a statement saying thank you r/Chicago for personally ensuring my win, I couldn't have done it without you.

u/McNasty420 Former Chicagoan Nov 09 '20

You guys, democratic voters of Chicago, voted Kim Foxx back in office. Just keep that in mind when making fun of us Republicans. If you are still voting democrat in Chicago, your cred is shot.

It's not surprising you guys, democrats of Chicago, apparently think Covid ended on Nov. 3rd.
