Says the low-brow, knuckle dragging hicktard who wrote about virus is a scam right before 26 million Americans become jobless.
Or missed the fact Wuhan virus is now leading cause of death in America.
You don’t even understand DAS 10 in video blackjack.
Gentlemen, gentlemen. I recommend "When Prophecy Fails" by Leon Festinger, an old classic, for a primer helping to explain how reasonably intelligent people, once committed to a religion, refuse to de-commit regardless of overwhelming evidence.
For example, take yesterday for example.
Ask a diehard presidential/Fox News supporter what policy change by the president would cause him to lose their support. Get out your stopwatch. There will be an interminable delay because (1) they haven't ever really thought about it, (2) they're having trouble coming up with one, and (3) really, nothing that happens will disconfirm them.
As I was saying, take yesterday for example. Up until the "task force briefing," anyone who was berating the Georgia governor for re-opening would have been branded a scaredy-cat libtard or some such.
Take me, for example:

To continue, up until the press conference, my position would have been flaming lefty, libtard, coward, or un-American. But then the Prez came on TV and agreed with me!
Now I suppose my position is the correct one. Or am I and the President now wrong? Quite the dilemma. That is what religion, especially authoritarian religion, will do to people.
Again, When Prophecy Fails by Leon Festinger will point you in the right direction to understanding these effects.
