This dude...
I don't see anyone in that room wearing a mask.
I hope Trump sees this video.
I do get what you're getting at, and I agree that he is behaving this way primarily to carry favor with his base.He isn't dumb he just knows his continued political success is 100% dependent on the dumb vote.He is Yale/HLS and saw what happened to JEB! and even Rubio when they tried to run more moderate GOP style campaigns. Him and Cotton actually really scare me because they are of course evil but, unlike Trump, very capable of fully implementing a fucked up agenda.
I started looking at Festinger again recently and his research of doomsday cults is really relevant I think:
A man with a conviction is a hard man to change. Tell him you disagree and he turns away. Show him facts or figures and he questions your sources. Appeal to logic and he fails to see your point.
We have all experienced the futility of trying to change a strong conviction, especially if the convinced person has some investment in his belief. We are familiar with the variety of ingenious defenses with which people protect their convictions, managing to keep them unscathed through the most devastating attacks.
But man’s resourcefulness goes beyond simply protecting a belief. Suppose an individual believes something with his whole heart; suppose further that he has a commitment to this belief, that he has taken irrevocable actions because of it; finally, suppose that he is presented with evidence, unequivocal and undeniable evidence, that his belief is wrong: what will happen? The individual will frequently emerge, not only unshaken, but even more convinced of the truth of his beliefs than ever before. Indeed, he may even show a new fervor about convincing and converting other people to his view.
But I stand by the fact that doing this at the expense of the very people you are garnering the support of, while tactically sound on one front, is a very dumb position to take in the long run. You win the short game, and are just hoping that things don't get so bad that people actually start to notice.
Not to bring up the ex-president, but I make the same argument there. I'd argue that they are charismatic in being able to exert that influence, but by no means do I consider that a deep level of intelligence.
That said, I agree that someone doing this with just a hint more of practicality and pragmatism is way more dangerous. If Trump could have kept his mouth shut and his ego in check for any six month span out of his term, he'd still be President.
There is nothing more dangerous in this world than a dumb person that thinks they are smart.
I don't know why people act like they want to be so damn close, anyway. I love these socially distanced lines and meeting places. If I could do my job without being piled in a room with the people that also do it, I absolutely would do it. Shit was stressful before we had a pandemic...
Smh
Future headline:
New version of Covid where you dont know you have it, has no symptoms, and doesn't show up on tests. But please take this shot tho.
South Carolina: Proposed bill could mean jail time for asking someone's vaccination status
“We have a number of employees in different companies that are being terminated because of their vaccination status, they have chosen not to take it," Burns added.
He said the bill will help protect employees because employers wouldn't be able to ask about vaccination status.
The bill would also apply to vaccination proof for a concert or large event, Burns said.

Idaho reported a record high positivity rate this week of 34.1%. That means of 100 tests taken, 34 are positive cases.
For a pandemic to be considered “over” that number needs to be below 5%.

‘We have never seen a number like this before’: Idaho COVID positivity rate climbs to record high
BOISE, Idaho – With COVID cases surging in Idaho and health care workers calling out sick with the virus, Idaho health officials anticipate more hospitals in the state could move
"This is just sort of messy," said Steve Stites, the chief medical officer at The University of Kansas Health System, when asked about the proposal during a Monday media briefing. "This is politics, unfortunately, and not health care. And when politics gets involved in health care, it kind of gets a little messy."
Doctors on the regular KU briefings have long opposed using ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19. In the past, infectious disease specialist Dana Hawkinson has advised people to find a new doctor if their current physician promotes ivermectin over vaccines.
"What the Kansas legislation is trying to say is, well look, if you want to use ivermectin for COVID, even though that's off label use — and let's be honest, even though the overwhelming weight of scientific evidence says that it doesn't work and may even be harmful to you because again, this is really a drug meant for parasites," Stites said.
Are the urine treatments and bleach next on the list of treatments they will push?

For the life of me, I don't know why they fight so hard for the unusual, untested treatment that they don't understand the science of to begin with like this, but taking a shot(s) of vaccine is out of the question because "they don't know what's in it"."This is just sort of messy," said Steve Stites, the chief medical officer at The University of Kansas Health System, when asked about the proposal during a Monday media briefing.

Some of it is stupidity but most of it is them trying to protect their pride/ego because they are too invested in being against Fauci/science/elites/"liberals" at this point.
Its classic sunk cost fallacy in the sense that they know on some level this is stupid but their identity is essentially this contrarian bullshit now.
I guarantee you will see posts on here about Europe reopening without any mention of the high vaccination rates or the protocols/mechanisms in place to heavily restrict the unvaccinated. It was only a few days ago that somebody posted something from the AAPS as proof that the vaccines don't work. Keep in mind, this is the same group that denies the connection between HIV and AIDS as well as believes that Obama used hypnosis to control the population:Is Barack Obama a brilliant orator, captivating millions through his eloquence? Or is he deliberately using the techniques of neurolinguistic programming (NLP), a covert form of hypnosis developed by Milton Erickson, M.D.?
A fundamental tool of “conversational hypnosis” is pacing and leading—a way for the hypnotist to bypass the listener’s critical faculty by associating repeated statements that are unquestionably accurate with the message he wants to convey.
In his Denver acceptance speech, Obama used the phrases “that’s why I stand here tonight,” “now is the time,” and “this moment” 14 times. Paces are connected to the lead by words such as “and,” “as,” “because,” or “that is why.” For example, “we need change” (who could disagree?)…and…that is why I will be your next President.”
Techniques of trance induction include extra slow speech, rhythm, tonalities, vagueness, visual imagery, metaphor, and raising of emotion. Hypnotists often have patients count. In a speech after the primaries closed, Obama said: “Sixteen months have passed (paused)…Thousands (pause) of miles…(pause)…Millions of voices….”

The head of the Paris hospitals system has set off a fierce debate by questioning whether people who refuse to be vaccinated against COVID-19 should continue to have their treatment covered by public health insurance.
Under France’s universal healthcare system, all COVID-19 patients who end up in intensive care are fully covered for their treatment, which costs about 3,000 euros ($3,340) per day and typically lasts a week to 10 days.
“When free and efficient drugs are available, should people be able to renounce it without consequences ... while we struggle to take care of other patients?” Paris AP-HP hospitals system chief Martin Hirsch said on French television on Wednesday.
Hirsch said he raised the issue because health costs are exploding and that the irresponsible behaviour of some should not jeopardise the availability of the system for everyone else.

The number of Texas intensive care unit beds available for adult patients is at an all-time low for the pandemic, with only 259 staffed beds open across the state as of Wednesday, as hospitals fight a historic staffing crisis and more unvaccinated people infected by the omicron variant pour into hospitals.
That’s 11 fewer beds than the previous record set in September during the deadly surge of the delta variant of COVID-19, according to the Texas Department of State Health Services. An average of 295 available beds has been reported in the last week, which is also lower than previous record averages.

Omicron pushes Texas ICUs to the brink
A staffing crisis and the surge from the omicron variant have pushed the number of Texas ICU beds to a new record low. The shortage affects not just patients with the coronavirus, but every Texan seeking serious medical care.
