(Yes, we will fight with you, we want Trump back.)

Back in the early days of the Donald Trump phenomenon, whenever he supposedly got out of line a recurring joke about him was, “But he fights.” The pundits laughed. The poor rubes suckered by Trump were supposedly taken in by some canard that he was a fighter. But the fact is he was, he won a lot of those fights, and his voters are better off for those wins.

Donald Trump Fought For Us

He didn't fight to protect the vote. Mail in ballots over threw the will of the American people.

Worse still, he embraced the corona hoax. On 3-22-2020 he declared a national emergency which then allowed governors and mayors to declare never ending lockdowns, mask mandates, and God knows what else the commies want to do to us.

After throwing his supporters under bus on Jan. 6th, I'm having a hard time with this idea that he fought for us.

…the corona hoax …

The number of Covid-19 virus cases in the United States exceeded 26 million today, while overall – authorities in 219 countries and territories have reported about 103.2 million Covid‑19 virus cases.

How can you possibly call this a “hoax?”

Hoax Definition: “A humorous or malicious deception.”

There is certainty you pandemic-deniers are not on the same page with reality. You refuse to wear a face mask or publicly disregard social distancing rules. Some deniers even raise their indignation and anger to an unnecessarily dramatic level of outrage. And we constantly hear front and center that it is your rights.

Oftentimes, your dramas suggest such a grim confidence and certainty, as if it is firmly grounded in some reassuring conspiracy theory. Other times your denial may suggest instead a concealed distress with a desperation masquerading as total disbelief.

When such a strong grip on your beliefs becomes excessive and overdetermined, it can easily suggest a lurking fear of losing one's grip. So, one might wonder. Might that tight grip be just what is holding you pandemic-deniers together mentally – thinking that you feel level-headed?

cases

It's not a pandemic...it's a casedemic.

Trump said the pandemic was a Democrat hoax. He was right.

Fauci said that face masks don't work. He, too, was right.

But if you wish, you can wear 2 masks. That will exempt me from wearing one.

Casedemic?
There is no such thing.
You continue just make shit up and spread it.
Why do you …

Trump said the pandemic was a Democrat hoax.

Biden distorts Trump’s words on virus ‘hoax.’

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is presenting a distorted account of President Donald Trump’s words on the coronavirus, wrongly suggesting Trump branded the virus a hoax.

In fact, Trump pronounced Democratic criticism of his pandemic response a hoax.

Biden tweeted a video mashup of Trump’s rhetoric on the crisis, sampling the many times the president has underplayed the severity of the pandemic.

THE FACTS: The accusation and the selective video editing are misleading. At the rally featured in the video, Trump actually said the phrases “the coronavirus” and “this is their new hoax” at separate points. Although his meaning is difficult to discern, the broader context of his words shows he was railing against Democrats for their denunciations of his administration’s coronavirus response.

“Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus,” he said. “You know that, right? Coronavirus. They’re politicizing it.” He meandered briefly to the subject of the messy Democratic primary in Iowa, then the Russia investigation before returning to the pandemic. “They tried the impeachment hoax. ... And this is their new hoax.”

Asked at a news conference the next day to clarify his remarks, Trump made clear he was not referring to the coronavirus itself as a hoax.

“No, no, no.” he said. ”‘Hoax’ referring to the action that they take to try and pin this on somebody, because we’ve done such a good job. The hoax is on them, not -- I’m not talking about what’s happening here. I’m talking what they’re doing. That’s the hoax.”

He continued: “Certainly not referring to this. How could anybody refer to this? This is very serious stuff.”

The video’s reference to “Trump in private” calling the virus a “killer” comes from the president’s interview in April with author and journalist Bob Woodward, whose new book “Rage” contains Trump’s acknowledgment that he was playing down the virus threat in public, so as to avoid panic.

But it is incorrect for Biden to suggest, as the video does, that Trump insisted the virus was a hoax before ultimately acknowledging to the author in April that it was deadly and serious.

Trump on several occasions before that did refer publicly to the virus as a “plague” and a “killer,” while also falsely dismissing it as something that would go away on its own, in hot weather or otherwise.

Biden wrongly suggesting Trump branded the virus a hoax.
You are now cloning Biden and doing the same.
Is there no end to your insane irrationality?

Fauci said that face masks don't work.

Listen up, you fool – Fauci has indeed been wrong on the coronavirus from the get-go.

The Washington Times [and other sources]:

Anthony Fauci should be viewed with 'skepticism and caution.'

You continue to believe only what you want to believe.

Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values.

Why people are wired to believe what they want to believe

When thinking about the current political moment, it’s important to remember that as human beings we’re wired to interpret new information as confirming our beliefs and reject it if it runs counter to those beliefs.

First, there’s physiology. Sara Gorman, a public health specialist, and her father, Jack, a psychiatrist, explore this matter in their book Denying to the Grave: Why We Ignore the Facts That Will Save Us. They cite research that suggests that processing information that supports one’s beliefs leads to a dopamine rush, which creates feelings of pleasure. Moral psychologist Jonathan Haidt, author of The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion, says that “extreme partisanship may be literally addictive.”

On the flip side, “When something is inconsistent with existing beliefs, people tend to stumble. … Information that is inconsistent with one’s beliefs produces a negative affective response,” according to Norbert Schwarz, Eryn Newman and William Leach, experts in cognitive psychology.

In a sense, people see what they want to see, in order to believe what they want to believe. In addition, everyone likes to be proven right, and changing their views is an admission that they were wrong, or at least had an incomplete understanding of an issue.

Beliefs are also often tied up with identities. “If changing your belief means changing your identity, it comes at the risk of rejection from the community of people with whom you share that identity,” according to chemist and science writer Christine Herman. That is difficult to do.

It is truly amazing how your brain keeps you believing all of the crap that isn’t true.
