You won't find me defending what newsome and crew did. Or defending Denver Mayor Hancock telling people to stay home for thanksgiving while he went to Mississippi. We can all find plenty of hypocrisy wherever we want to look. And if you want to pretend that there isn't a partisan divide about mask wearing and public health recommendations that's your choice. But we all know trump was calling covid a hoax, and mocking masks and the people who wear them, including mocking Laura Ingraham who was attending one of his rallies. If you don't think that turned it into a partisan issue than I suppose it's possible you also don't think that he caused a partisan split of who the majority of in person voters were versus voting by mail.

Do you mean to say those are not rabid right wing Trumpers defying common sense health precautions and contributing to Trump's desire to infect as many people as possible in the picture? How can the rest of us tell?

[Rogar]

So by that reasoning, these are all right wing, deplorable Trumpers?

Looks like a nice bunch to me. Were they following local or CDC guidelines at the time?

I'm sure they are, not a MAGA hat in sight. But I've been led to believe that anyone not wearing a mask or social distancing are undoubtedly right wing, deplorable Covid hoaxers, usually residing in red states. But I'm not so sure.....

Trump undermining coronavirus response was a lot more fundamental than just being a hypocrite. It's not like we had Trump warning everyone of the coronavirus threat and planning actively to handle it, while secretly sneaking around without a mask or something. Rather we had him playing political games with ventilator supply and twittering to undermine state government response to the pandemic etc.. Those are nowhere near in the same league. It's robbing a bank versus stealing a pencil from work.

Hypocrisy is a trumped up charge if ever there was one, a ridiculously overblown sin if ever there was one, a sin for 5 year olds to point fingers about. By the way, I'd vote against Newsome, if someone better runs, I just don't expect better to come from the Republicans but with CA jungle primaries it doesn't have to, he's just not expected to be challenged.

Here you go with the red again.....

You haven't been following me, I only mentioned red states because most of you keep bringing it up, I thought that was obvious in the "I've been led to believe" part.

Pitting states against each other, having feds bid for PPE and then parceling it out by state party affiliation, sending ventilators abroad, neglecting to take advantage of emergency appropriations...Distribution was an endless cluster*. Incompetence, petulance, or a combination of both?

[Alan]

You keep bringing it up....

Oh? I thought I was just responding to it. Silly me.....
