Re: Covid-19

Actually, people do care. We've asked every Trump supporter that's posted to defend that support and always get something else. Like your post. You didn't say a thing in defense of his policies or actions. You criticized other posters, the left, HRC, the media, and Joe Biden. "He's not being treated fairly" is not a defense. It's also debatable. But either way it's a terrible reason to support him if that's all you have.

I do remember months ago trying to articulate where I was coming from, but I was met with a brick wall of people who weren't interested in what I was saying (you being maybe the chief example of that, and someone I started specifically ignoring because it wasn't producing actual conversation, but rather your diatribe of emotions that you were feeling). I certainly don't like to call myself a "Trump supporter" because that would loop me into a huge group of people who are moronic. I guess I prefer to see myself as "anti-politician" and pro-reality

Covid-19 or coronavirus. Not Wuhan.

Exactly. The increased xenophobia is disturbing.

I think the illness and death would be far more disturbing. Saying a virus that came from Wuhan... came from Wuhan, would be like 94th on the list of disturbing things about this pandemic.

So I'm just being emotional? Dude.

Calling it Wuhan virus is worse than illness and death said no one ever. There is a perfect example of why your posts are met with a brick wall. You don't think calling it Wuhan virus is xenophobic? okay. Make your case. Instead you throw out some unrelated babble and shout bingo.

Well yes of course. It's not a sin to be emotional, it's perfectly understandable. But when you let your emotion affect your logic is where it starts to become problematic.

Yeah that's it. I just post a bundle of illogical emotions.

Calling it 'Wuhan virusis' is xenophobic in the same way that it's xenophobic to call a person who was born in China, Chinese. It's just stating things that are real. And being offended by it shows a rather strange reaction to the word "Wuhan"

Thoughts on the article I posted explaining the long history of negative consequences of blaming a contagion by the place of it's origin or people where it originated? And commenting =/= being offended.

I don't think any logical person would think negatively of someone who came from Wuhan because of this virus. It's like thinking badly about a New Yorker because of 9/11.

Re: Covid-19

Since Trump took office he made everything “us vs them”. Because thwt is what his base wants. He can, without any proof, yet his base of cult members to believe a caravan of women and children are coming to America to harm us, but with evidence can’t get many of them to take this virus seriously. And when he and his flock do reference it instead of calling it the coronavirus or COVID-19, they fall it the Wuhan Flu. Which is wrong on both counts as it has nothing to do with the flu.
