A rant, please indulge: We are AGAIN falling into their trap of letting of scampering off into their storyline to fight them and thus abandoning what would actually work to do so. (1)

Just got survey back (N=1068 registered voters, April 8-12) that shows folks aren't buying the “all hail the economy" thing. Even when we hamper ourselves by using *their* notion of health vs economy to ask the question, people are concerned about life: (2)

Q. A lot of people are worried about the economy and a lot of people are worried about the spread of the disease. Are you more worried about the spread of the illness in the US as a result of the pandemic OR the impact of the coronavirus on the US economy? (3)

Yet now that Trump and his mafia are doing this “Open America” and marching in MI as “Operation Gridlock” (dumbass naming by what they oppose, rare misstep from them) - our side is convinced we must rebut this argument. (5)

We have to keep at their *actual* weaknesses - failing to protect us, putting us at risk, destroying our lives. This means not giving up the mic to fight about how we shouldn’t open the economy which is, of course, talking about opening the economy. (6)

Or - yeah - diverting ourselves to rage against their putrid pundits who masquerade as medical experts in order to pump out right wing talking points. (7)
