Although it's been just a week or so since I've posted, it seems like it's been a long month in those short number of days. Our president continues to lie and gaslight America and his MAGA supporters and idiots continue to swarm our Florida beaches and bars because well, "It's not their problem." The latest nonsense seems to be coming from MAGAs as they are now claiming "anyone that doesn't think Trump is their president, should refuse to accept money for staying home" (due to the stay in place orders.) How about a better argument - "Anyone who detests socialism and believes it is simply Un-American, should probably refuse their money too?" The hypocrisy is rampant and it's coming overwhelmingly from the GOP.
Mixed messages seem to be forgotten by MAGAs. Instead of arguing their 401K's are so strong and we should overlook the idiocy of Trump, they now have little to nothing to crow about. How's your 401k doing these days? Ironically, most Americans with 401k's don't have enough money in them to live anyway. I mean, say you have $200,000 in your IRA or 401k. How long do you think at 0% interest you can actually LIVE on this money? Say you need $50,000 a year to survive. That would be great if your life expectancy is less than 5 years. Money is not the only gauge to use when evaluating our government leaders. MAGAs can't seem to get beyond that though. With Covid-19, I think our health is the priority. After all, having a ton of money but being sick and dying won't change your scenario much, will it?
And now we learn some Senators with full private knowledge that the virus would tank the markets, got the "leg up" and sold off some of their holdings for Millions! And they wonder why Americans don't trust them? Want to bet the Trump children made a killing selling off shares knowing in advance the markets were about to tank? How does it feel to know the president attacks reporters for simply asking that he provide reassurance to a frightened nation? Can we agree by November that Trump has only playing being president on TV and not a real one and that we need a real one to replace him ASAP? Can you say "hello President Biden?"
For those that refuse to isolate or abide by "social distancing", YOU are the problem. If your candidate did not win in the democratic primaries and you refuse to vote for the eventual nominee, you too are the problem. Let us all remember that America was founded on rugged individualism tempered by a deep sense of community. It's time for us to rally around each other. If only we had a president that appreciated that. Unfortunately, we don't. Try to stay safe and have a great week. In the meantime, I will be holed up in my home until we can get back to any sense of our old "normal."
