Yes … chaotic, lazy and stupid. But worse is being vindictive. It is clear that 4–5 can be vindictive.

You also say his supports are not necessarily evil or stupid.

I beg to differ … some supporters ARE EVIL, VICIOUS, and even STUPID.

On Wednesday during the daily 5pm status update by the Govenor of KY, Andy Beshear, there were protesters outside of the office where he live streams the update. They were chanting and yelling to protest him not opening the KY economy. The right to protest was not the issue.

A comment by one of the protesters:

It sucks that people die, but they do, we can’t stop that,” said Allison Atkinson, 44, of Clark County. “At this point we’re putting every Kentuckian in a place of vulnerability because they can’t feed their families.”

So at least Allison feels we should let everyone go back to work even if lots of people die due to cross exposure.

Somehow she is overlooking the fact that nearly every unemployed Kentucky citizen is currently getting unemployment benefits including an extra $600 per week. In about 3 weeks the state added over 1,000 call center agents to accept unemployment calls. The “normal” staff level was an average of 12 agents. Yep … an increase of 8,000% in three weeks.

So I say again:

I beg to differ … some supporters ARE EVIL, VICIOUS, and even STUPID.
