Well, good. Now you’ll apply that to conservatives’ claims about “the left,” correct?

Are conservatives saying that “the left” is ignorant, stupid, blindly following a leader?
Conversely, if you get all of your news from the DNC media at ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, WAPO, NYT, you will get an even more distorted and often dishonest view.

Too seriously. Our Illinois economy is trashed. We’ve already lost hundreds of people who have moved away from Illinois, and I think we will lose more. I"m not sure it’s worth it–definitely if we are really saving lives–but are we?
Today all of our restaurants and bars were ordered to no longer serve diners inside–only pickup and delivery, and outdoor dining. For many of these restaurants, this is the end. It’s around 50 degrees right now, and we are expecting a frost tonight. Not exactly good weather for dining out. Unless they have a source of income other than the restaurant, they won’t be able to stay open.
We’ve already lost several restaurants and bars, including landmark businesses, that just couldn’t handle the first shutdowns. We will no doubt lose more. For counties like Jo Daviess, in which tourism is a major industry (especially at this time of year during the beautiful autumn leaves), it’s a huge blow. Same for our county, and several other Northern Illinois counties.
And it doesn’t make any sense! There is no proof that any of these restaurants or bars were/are the cause of the increasing positivity rate! There are some diagnosed cases who traced their contact back to a restaurant or bar, but not all by any means. So why are these restaurants and bars ordered to shut down indoor dining, while the big box stores like WalMart and Target get to keep going, along with the home improvement stores like Home Depot?! Is repainting my living room really considered “essential,” but sitting with my husband in a favorite restaurant and enjoying quiet conversation (with no dishes to wash) non-essential?
I would be willing to say that most of our cases in Northern Illinois are coming from big at-home gatherings a few weeks ago when we had our last really good warm weather! Our next-door neighbor had a birthday party for his 1-year old and invited us, but my husband was out-of-town and I was one week away from my knee replacement surgery and didn’t want to take a chance by entering a new environment and being around people I didn’t know. (You see, supporters of Pres. Trump do actually think for themselves.)
But I watched them from my deck and waved–no one was masking. No one.
And as I drove around that weekend doing errands, I saw dozens of these outdoor parties, and people weren’t masking. It’s hard to mask when you’re eating and drinking, but golly, even I would say not wearing a mask at big gatherings is kinda askin’g for COVID trouble! If I HAD gone to the party, I would have masked and probably worn gloves, too.
I would say that the “investigators” of Illinois Positivity Rates should look a little harder before blaming restaurants or bars.
Anyway, it’s not easy watching people lose their family businesses for reasons that just don’t seem well-investigated.

I wonder, where is that allegedly monolithical “left”? I would like to have a conversation with it.

No, “stupid” is not the proper word. In psychology there is this well-known “alpha male” syndrome, where the followers would like to become like the leader, and if they cannot actually become like it, at least they want to emulate whatever they can.
Many people view the uncouth and nasty attitude as “macho”, and they like it, even if they would not dare to behave like it in their private life. They would like to deny the payment for a work that they ordered and would love to threaten a lawsuit if the workers want to get their due payment. But that needs a lot of money. Many people would love to do the shenanigans with their taxes, but they don’t dare to do it. . . .
It is all the “alpha male” syndrome. Some people live their life “through” the leader. Well known attitude.

I don’t know whether my neighbors, or random groups around my city, are supporters of Pres. Trump! How would I know that?
I can only speak for my friends and fellow church members who are for Pres. Trump
It’s by region. Illinois is divided into several regions.

Right? They’re always talking about “the left” did this, and “the left” says that.
The people I know must be really bad leftists; they actually have the nerve to develop their own opinions.

Oh yes, Jim Acosta, Nancy Pelosi, both Catholic, so what can you expect?
Sound ridiculous? Just as ridiculous as panning the Left.

And Al Sharpton and Michael Moore, both wishing the President and Melania a speedy recovery, as Trump did after Bernie Sanders’ heart attack, and as Trump praised the illustrious career of RBG.
So let’s stop the discord instead of promoting it at every turn.

I live in the western suburbs and If I had a dollar for every restaurant around me that closed in the last 40 years I’d be shaking hands with Bezos. There were a lot of businesses which closed this year to be sure but the nearby mall, especially the dmv, is as vibrant as ever.

I post Fox, Breitbart, Redstate predominately to be sure.
But you can’t conclude because . . . .
. . . That is what he posts, that must be the ONLY stuff he reads."
As a matter of fact I post CNN items etc. here from time to time.
Here is an ABC “News” story (or at least about ABC News) that perhaps you would like to comment on . . .
ABC “News” played FAKE Syrian War footage not telling its viewers and never apologizing (at least that I am aware of) for hoodwinking its own viewers.
It was associated with (you guessed it) criticism of President Trump (what a surprise).
Here are some of the details.

I can expect them to not use sickness, to hurl insults. Even thinnly veiled ones.

Leftists showing up at the hospital to announce that they hope Trump dies.
.
Lest anyone thinks this kind of leftist attitude
is a “rare” aberration, recall just a few weeks ago when President Trump’s brother died.
The left was proclaiming the wrong Trump died!
And it at one time was the number FOUR TREND on all of Twitter!
And (naturally) Twitter allowed it.
So don’t be fooled when they attempt to tell you this is merely a handful of bad apples.
No.
Unfortunately it is the default position on the left out in the real world.

If you believe my liberal friends Trump is both losing votes due to his illness and Inventing it to gain votes.

SNL has left “comedy” long ago in my opinion.
This is yet another example of “not funny”.

Even much of the left’s “wellwishing” is permeated with hate.
