    A lot of Trump's lying has been priced into the system (i.e. Dems discount, GOP base believes, GOP elite pretends he didn't say it). But Coronavirus lying has more tangible real world impact because it leads GOP base to disregard important health cautions. So, yes, dangerous.https://twitter.com/PreetBharara/status/1236099889546829824 …

    Is it just me or is Trump’s lying crap about the Coronavirus infinitely less credible (and infinitely more dangerous) than all his other epic lying?

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        So long as most of the outbreaks are in blue states - the ones willing to test on their own without the cdc - the virus will remain partisan and trump will attack dems for hosting outbreaks. Outbreaks in red states will go undiscovered so his base can play dumb and join him.

        Replying to @dcodea @HeerJeet

        I’m skeptical that red-state outbreaks of *thousands of people in a short time frame* will go “undiscovered,” especially once people start dying. On local media, it leads if it bleeds & this will be headline news every damn day.

        "A lot of Trump's lying has been priced into the system (i.e. Dems discount, GOP base believes, GOP elite pretends he didn't say it)." You left out "timid, complacent MSM treats it idiosyncratically which normalizes it and further erodes any normative democratic baselines".

        Also, less sustainable. As loved one's die, and as businesses close, the disonance will be harder and harder to ignore as he says everything he does is perfect. Chanting lock her up isn't going to work here. I just don't think the cult is big enough for this.

        It's going to be interesting in ten years when even a former federal prosecutor actually gets it. Lol lawbros.

        Check any thread on this site. Trump's fans are uniformly in denial about the severity of the crisis & the need for action, as well as about the administration's failure to act since January. This denial means they delay taking precautionary measures. We should ALL be distancing.
