I Hope These Protesters Know Trump Doesn't CARE if They Die!

You may have seen or heard about the various protests held in several states a few days ago regarding the "stay-at-home" orders with more to come reportedly. In at least one instance they blocked the streets, holding up traffic, including ambulances and health care workers on their way to save lives. These protesters included many Trump supporters, as indicated by their signs, flags and apparel. I have to admit I'm not exactly enjoying being stuck at home with nowhere to go and nothing to do anymore than anyone else is. I'm retired but I feel sorry for those who are losing money, especially those with small businesses such as our local bars and restaurants. I know those who are working for someone else are also having a tough time of it, especially as they wait for their stimulus check if they've yet to receive it and their unemployment checks but they at least know they're going to have something coming in and I'd assume most of them will have a job to go back to. Still, I know it's hard and I feel for all of them... Especially the sick and the families of the deceased, both of which there will likely be many more following the protests I mentioned above. They were out in fairly large numbers protesting the shelter-in-place order so obviously they weren't following that guideline, nor were they following the social distancing or the face mask guidelines. When you get a large group of people together during a global pandemic, it's pretty much guaranteed that some of them are already infected even if they're asymptomatic and that therefore a much larger number of them will contract it and in turn take it home...and anywhere else they go that they're not supposed to go...and give it to others. Maybe an elderly parent or grandparent. Maybe a child. Maybe a loved one with an underlying health issue. MAYBE we'd expect the POTUS these people had voted for and were still supporting would want to advise them to take care of themselves, right? Sorry. “They seem to be protesters that like me" was what Trump said when asked about these protests. I guess I'm not surprised that Trump doesn't care about the health or the lives of others but what does kind of surprise me is that he doesn't seem to care about possibly losing all those votes...
