Some people heard the Trump interviews. The ones where he creeped on his daughter or was friends with Jeffrey Epstein or said China's reaction to Tiananmen Square was good because it was "strong." Rob Ford was a benign, coked-up drunk with minimal dilusions. Trump, the bankrupt casino owner, cheater with porn stars, short-fingered vulgarian, has convinced the evangelicals that he was chosen by God--their God. Anything is possible.

Maybe I went a little too far with Ford, but anything is possible - especially when a minority can "win", which is true in both countries.
But I think it's safe to say that the relationship between populism and poor handling of covid has been firmly established. And I'm not sure anywhere is fully immune to that.

I did not take offense. We all have different risk tolerances. I can't let this thing scare/control my life/kids/etc. I sure ain't trying to get it or hurt others, but life doesn't just stop.
I hear other posters talking about how their kids are scared to be around people. That's simply too damaging imho. I'm trying my best to keep our lives as normal as possible. If numbers go up here I'll modify, bit for now it's working.

Are you going into Manhattan these days? From what I've read, sounds like a ghost town. The restaraunts are dropping literally like flies.

Yeah, I read the street scene is bizarre, with hardly any civilians, and Rikers emptied out.

Holy shit. Florida man...
Florida sheriff bans deputies, visitors from wearing masks
-

"The sheriff argued working mask-free hasn’t led to a spike of infections in his 900-person department. “Since the beginning of this pandemic the operation of this office has not changed and no wearing of masks has been put in place,” he said."
Just waiting for the hammer to fall, apparently...

I hate it when piss-ant fucking SHERIFFS think they have a voice in setting national health and economic policy.

Populism is wrapped up in that whole religious nut job thing which we don't really have up here, so a whole shwack of people who elect a POTUS simply becuz he sez he believes in the guy in the sky so even if he doesnt really he will pander to them
Peter Mackay the pretender to be the Conservative party leader was quoted as saying the current leader Andrew Scheer's socially conservative values were a "stinking albatross." around his neck , which was a colorful refrence to the poem rime of the ancient mariner
in other words mackay is saying the conservatives up here are never gona get into power if they don't distance themselves from all the socially conservative things that get people elected down thar
up here nobody sez god bless to one another, no body sez thots and prayers and if you goggle "the quiet revolution" you can read about the secularization of the whole province of quebec
Canadians have chose anyone but the conservative guy in the last 2 elections and now that they have watched Trump fuck it all up royaly which will not bode well for the social conservatives anywhere let alone canadaLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

Same deal in Portland, minus Rikers inmates (at least, as far as I know). The office worker crowd is pretty much absent, tent cities are multiplying, and the Ritz Carlton hotel construction project in downtown (admittedly planned years ago) is going full speed ahead, because what we really need is another blatant illustration of the gap between haves and have-nots. Interesting times, right?

A lot of sheriffs are elected so it is possible to push them out.
