. Plenty of aggressive memes target the idiocy of experts, liberals, and, most often, the state’s governor.
The supporters of the protest movement appear to generally fall into two categories: those interested in preserving local businesses and those who complain of an infringement on their personal liberties. Groups geared toward the latter more often veer stridently political, while some of the other groups are trying to take a more collaborative and conciliatory tack.
Ashley Smith co-founded Reopen NC, the group in North Carolina behind the Tuesday protest. She cited financial ruin for small businesses, and possible deaths from poverty and suicide. “Why do those lives matter any less?” she asked. But she also insisted that the governor had abused the public’s constitutional rights. She argued that the governor should be listening to people who she believed could more accurately represent the full spread of the residents’ interests.
Critics concerned about these protests have argued that numbers are only lower than previously projected because extreme measures were taken in the first place. They worry that a rural county with few cases could quickly become a hot spot with the right combination of bad luck and irresponsible behavior.
This is not a small business uprising- more like GOP shenanigans! But why? The science is behind social distancing. The usual💰greed?
That's what happens when Trumpists infect your well-intentioned concern for small business. They infect it with the malignant intellectual cancer of Toxic Trumpism.
