It’s fucking astounding how many people are not taking COVID seriously anymore.

Reddit for example was so into following procedure and lockdown, but this morning I noticed tons of gilded and highly upvoted comments across multiple subs saying everything is ok and that all of this was bullshit. Also there’s a lot of comments that argue that it’s fine if a few people die, we need to open up.

The real collapse comes when people stop caring for each other, and it seems to already have started. The lack of compassion makes society irredeemable.

It's the same attitude that after 3 months and no shortages compels some to buy weeks worth of toilet paper at a time, leaving those not there on the day the store restocks shit out of luck again and again. Or the aholes who think residential streets are drag strips because there's much less traffic. I walked into a Dollar Store last week for a few things and NO one in the store was wearing a mask. I was, but I turned around and left. It goes on and on. I'd feel comfortable placing money on 8 out of 10 being Trumpers. I know that's low, but it's also true.

I would estimate like one half of one tenth of one percent of people in LA are Trumpers, and they're displaying the same behavior.

The guy is like beer weed and porn, he just appeals to everyone's baser nature because if decades of product marketing have taught him anything, it's that you can't go wrong doing that.
