The Coronavirus Scam

[accountinquestion]

So Trump supporters believed that the virus was a hoax because Democrats told them that Trump said it was? This is absolutely goofy. This isn't the 1800's Mickey. When someone says something in a rally, not only did he say it, but we can watch him saying it. Check out his Charleston SC rally from a couple of weeks ago. It was widely reported on and the tape was widely shown. At least a close paraphrase, if not a direct quote is: The Democrats are politicizing the Coronavirus, it is their new hoax.

I guess that the division of labor when we talk about anything even remotely political (and this topic shouldn't be) is that you postulate lies and misinformation and I respectfully and factually respond. You call my facts lies and tell new lies. Rinse and repeat. What fun for me. Hard to believe this forum doesn't have more posters. Singer on Mickey.

Trump also banned flights from China in January, nitwit. Does that tell you he didn't take the virus seriously? If it doesn't you're an idiot. Come to think of it, you're an idiot anyway. Trump declared a national emergency with 40 americans dead. Obama waited until 1100 were dead. Where was the main stream media then? I'll tell you where they were, they were up Obama's ass.

Now, if your ignorant ass is going to quote someone then put the exact quote up. You got that, bitch? The exact quote. Don't come with bullshit. Find the exact quote where Trump said the carona virus was a hoax and put it up, nitwit. You can't do it. Because you're a piece of shit lie.

I have a confession to make. From early January until I got home from Vegas, I had been traveling a lot and had only spent a couple weeks at home. I had consumed a lot less news than usual. One of the things that I missed completely was the explanation that Trump was referring to politicizing when he said it was their new hoax. When Mickey claimed that Trump didn't call the Coronavirus a Democratic hoax, I thought he was shamelessly lying about something that was beyond dispute. I looked up the SC rally to be sure. The site I got had to have been spliced together, because it condensed the words into back to back sentences while deleting close to a minute of what was said in between. So when I responded to Mickey, I mischaracterized Trump's statement as a sentence, which it was not. I also characterized it as only interpretable in the way I saw it, and that is not true. When I went back to get a link that Mickey requested, I discovered the fuller version. I still didn't see how that changed anything. Eventually, I got to a fact check site, that explained what I assume is Mickey's position. It made sense. I am puzzled as to why no one on this board, didn't just say that Trump meant the politicizing and you're missing a minute of the rally. What I did was my fault. It just seems that some of you would have enjoyed supplementing the name calling with something more substantial.

I apologize to any one I mislead. I apologize particularly to you Mickey for inappropriately and rudely dismissing your protests as a lie. You had previously mentioned context as important and I should have looked for the context before I responded to you. I shouldn't have been as rude regardless.

Let me get this straight. So your belief is that if the virus is called a "Democratic hoax" then it isn't actually being called a hoax? I don't understand at all.

It is also weird to me that his followers would believe that "Democrats are politicizing it". Yes, they are fighting for those of us who believe in science. Personally, I am thankful for that.
