Rachel, thnx for the Jan 31 date. I have edited my post #17 to reflect.

She had no idea, and that the news never reported it. When I asked her what news she watches, she said CNN and MSNBC.
Many Progressives, including many here, just repeat the Far Left BIAS they hear on CNN, NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, NYT, Washpo and the others. It's easy. No thought, just parroting, and they then think they sound "smart".
Yes, and you know what's even scarier? The woman I was speaking with - the one who was shocked when I told her about Trump's early ban on China flights - is actually quite intelligent. Her problem, like so many progressives, is that she prides herself on NOT listening to Fox and staying with CNN - as if that makes her well-informed. You know that saying "you don't know what you don't know"? CNN watchers are a perfect example of that.
Not terribly surprising, Americans tend to back their leader during crisis and a lot of the rhetoric Trump spews when it comes to closing borders and bashing China has grown in popularity as governments across the world close borders as a way of fighting the spread of COVID-19.
Oh hey! Cool! Now you guys have a veritable smorgasborg of racist knuckle dragging world leaders to trash. And you've plenty of time to do it since you're staying home and social distancing and all.
Excellent perspective, Bob. Clear, concise, pointed.
Re: the media. It is the only way they know to react. There is no reportage, only politically biased opinion, often held to gather by the thinnest of fact gathering.
You mean like this? As Carlson put it "pure boot licking"

Lol, few things kiddo.
1. The "you guys" bit is laughably ignorant.
2. Closing borders during a global pandemic isn't racist, only the most ridiculous window lickers would think that.
3. I don't get to stay home, my job is "essential".

Thanks for referring to me as "kiddo". I'm a little old for the description (actually I'm a lot old for the description) but appreciate it anyway. Even if it WAS meant as a derogatory (which it was)
1.. You guys is a generic phrase (not implicitly or explicitly denoting gender). But you already knew that.
2. You wrote: ...........a lot of the rhetoric Trump spews when it comes to closing borders and bashing China has grown in popularity as governments across the world close borders as a way of fighting the spread of COVID-19.
For three and a half years Trump has been accused of racism as it pertains to our own border enforcement. For the past three months Trump has been accused of racism as it pertains to China. I think it's safe to say you were calling him racist and directly implying that other world leaders were falling for his racist dog whistle as well. Stop being obtuse.
3. I have this almost insurmountable urge to say something completely dismissive of this. But I won't. Because you are a fellow citizen. And when you are playing an essential role in this time of crisis I sincerely wish you well, and hope that you continue to stay safe and healthy.

Bogus poll. There are not 55% of the people who would approve of Trump on anything for no other reason than Dems hate him at about 90% and INDies always split. His overall approval is down once again. Move on. We'll settle this in November .
