1. People are responding to my last thread saying "theyre calling it Chinese virus on purpose!" I absolutely know that. But remember - just before they started this, I learned that the GOP had been advised by a political consultant to call it "China Virus" then "Chinese virus"...

2...the purpose was SPECIFICALLY (according to the political consultant's strategy") to lead non-scumbags to react "That's racist!" Then they would sneer to their rabid supporters "Democrats bringing out the racism card! They cant even call it its real name just for politics!...

3...it's horrible that, in the middle of this crisis, Democrats are politicizing this to again claim everything is racist. A bunch of social justice warriors. Let's all get made at democrats."

So EVERYTIME you say it's racist, understand, *thats what they want you to say*...

4...you aree letting these people turn it into a political talking point. It's amazing that these people, these scums of the earth, don't listen to scientists about a public health crisis, but instead they check in with political consultants about how to "spin" their failures...

5...so they can win back supporters who might be upset that their family members are dying. Now, with this trick, they can rile up these people against democrats - again - making them overlook that it was Trump and his gang of incompetents who worsened this...

6..so *everytime* they do this "Chinese Virus" garbage, say ONLY one thing: "Its terrifying that, after all your bungling, you people STILL havent bothered to learn the name of the virus. And what kind of fool calls a disease by the name of its virus? Its a disease - COVID-19"...

7...drilling down on the idea that this name is caused by their ignorance is the ONLY way to end this - which is having real- consequences because the Chinese, who have the most info and are helping the rest of the world, are refusing to help USA with knowledge or assistance...

8...because of the name-calling.

So, they want to play politics while people are suffering? Crack them in the knees for it. "Wow, you people are STILL this uninformed?" Force them to stop, since maybe then we can win back assistance from China....

9...but it probably won't stop GOP from harming needed relations just to rile up their base. These scum would rather more die than to give up political spin.

Only express dismay at their ignorance in response. Never say "racism" Lives depend on stopping this nonsense.
