Honestly?  Because we are a center right nation that is deeply racist. 
 

basically half (if not 2/3) of white people dislike/fear POC, to the point it drives every other aspect of their life outlook, knowingly or unknowingly. Trump says the quiet part out loud, and that gives them a deep sense of belonging and alignment.  
 

Your traditional suburban business types aids and abets because they just can’t bring themselves to pull the lever for the Democrats.  So they go with the incompetent devil they know, who also won’t hurt their race and class type (also, Trump re-enforces traditional gender roles and structure, which is soothing for your suburban dude worried about a woman taking his job or worse). 
 

It’s racial watergate in this country:  follow the racism. 

Where is the racism? Give me stats how Asians are being attacked more now.

Man this site is a breath of fresh air after reading Orangebloods every day. That site is like 80%+ trump cultist. Even the mildest criticism of him results in multiple posters rallying to defend the orange goblin. 

I'm guessing it is due to OB having more old, uneducated posters.

Yes, it's the old people who are uneducated.  Not the thousands of millennials that decided to go to the beaches of Florida for spring break during a pandemic outbreak against the advice of practically every health official in the country.  It's the old people who have seen, lived, and experienced three or four times more in their lives  who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground not those millennials.

There are no "levels of bias". There's just bias. Everyone has it. Your job as a consumer is to understand the bias and interpret accordingly. 

The NY Times discovered that millions of people were starving to death in the Ukraine. But because they loved communism, they lied about it, and got a Pulitzer for their lies. Biased enough for you? Does your chart inform your understanding of what they did?

 

LOL, bring up some reporting that happened almost 90 years ago. Reporting that the Times has repeatedly, over the last 30 years, acknowledged as a failure.

I know, since when do college kids engage in risky behavior?  This is an outrage.

That said, I doubt many Spring Breakers are Millennials, since the youngest of the generation would be in their mid-20's now. 

Perhaps you meant Generation Z...who like Millennials, didn't vote in a completely unqualified demagogue who's telling the country the virus is a hoax, and to go about their daily lives as usual...that was the Boomers.

Face it, a lot of us are Gen X, so our parents are Boomers, and we love them, but they are easily the worst generation in American history.

Do you really think it is logical to expect people in their 20s to have the same level of wisdom as people in their 40s, 50s & 60?

 

Come on, you can do better than that. Look, half of our country treats this idiot president like a deity. Trump called this pandemic a hoax, and they'll always think it is a hoax. The kids they raised on Spring Break therefore consider it a hoax.

[EMAWesome 101]

Trump never called it a hoax.  He called the way the Democrats were using it politically a hoax.

Even Snopes backs me up on this though they are very reluctant to do so.

You realize most people on this site are probably between the ages of 45 and 65, right?

And your claim that spring breakers are millenials is purely circumstantial and wouldn't hold up in a court of law.  I'm a millenial and am staring down the barrel of 40.  Nobody I know is out on "spring break."

Fair enough.  Because of my preexisting dislike for Trump, I was trying to be evenhanded early in his administration.  Although I was proven wrong (actually right, but I was trying not to indulge my prejudice), the early media coverage was a bit over the top and increased the level of background noise so that when the really criminal stuff spiked, it barely made a dent.

Of course, when a guy lies every time he opens his mouth, it is difficult to sort the material from the immaterial; the felonies from the misdemeanors from the civil cases.

I like that the paper never mentioned anything about non Asian restaurants. Which just makes me assume that they were also affected and the paper didn't report that, or not affected at all. I can't tell.

Did you?  Did any of his idiot cultists?  Because I personally know Trumpists who took away a clear message from his “hoax” statement.  Based on Trump saying this was a hoax, people believe that the virus is not severe, that it’s not something to worry about, and that social distancing and other precautions are foolhardy and unnecessary. 

You can talk all day about full context and nuance and all that shit, but doing so ignores the real issue.  Which is: when Trump tells his fans that something is a “hoax,” said fans don’t catch the nuance.  
 

Trump knows that.  It’s why his speech follows a clear pattern: first, he makes bold, simplistic, asinine / dangerous / unsupportable proclamations in clear terms; second, he follows up with half-hearted caveats, typically spoken in a  begrudging whisper that conveys “forced apology.” Only the first part is intended for his rally audience.  That is the part with the persuasive force. The second part is not meant to persuade his followers and it is stated in a way clearly intended to convey that Trump doesn’t mean it; it is only there to build in plausible deniability for later use.  

[henrygandorf 29179]

trump said "this is their new hoax" (referring to the dems long line of "attacks" to bring down his presidency).  i don't think anyone is claiming that trump thought the disease itself was made up by democrats.  he downplayed the shit out of it for 2 months, then switched gears when he realized he was wrong.

he called the impeachment a hoax too, but he did, in fact, get impeached, and i'm pretty sure he knows that.

trying to make sense of trump's rhetoric is not a good idea, and i think we should all slowly back away.

[4th&Five 41461]

He was downplaying it yesterday, comparing it to the flu and car accidents. It basically boils down to he doesn't give a single shit how many Americans die as long as he can get the economy rolling and get re-elected.

Hmm I believe the only possible answer is that the virus fears were fabricated by the Dems. Which is no different than calling the virus itself a hoax.

What is the practical difference between saying that the virus itself is fabrication vs. the concern about the virus is a fabrication? In either case the jist is that the virus isn't anything to worry about.

It's a distinction without a difference.

I read the words that came out of his mouth...they were in the article he posted, which I assume you did not read since you had to ask.

I still didn't see anything that remotely seemed like a 'hoax' from the Dems.  

Quote

Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. You know that, right? Coronavirus. They’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, ‘How’s President Trump doing?’ They go, ‘Oh, not good, not good.’ They have no clue. They don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa, they can’t even count. No they can’t. They can’t count their votes.

One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia. That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything, they tried it over and over, they’ve been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning, they lost, it’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax. But you know, we did something that’s been pretty amazing. We’re 15 people [cases of coronavirus infection] in this massive country. And because of the fact that we went early, we went early, we could have had a lot more than that.

So perhaps, you can take up EMA's cause and tell us what the hoax was.  I'm all ears.

At the most charitable, the "hoax" line regarding coronavirus is that the "Democraps" are using it against me, falsely.

Which, because the existence of the coronavirus is not subject to debate, must mean that the Democraps are overstating it.  The falsitly thus lying in the magnitude of the threat.

Well, now we know that the magnitude of the threat is great, and therefore nothing about the hoax was false.  Thus, the falsity lies in calling it a hoax.

When you let him bait you into this kind of thing, he wins. The end result is that you guys spent the last year dreaming of free everything, and you ended up with a guy who went to Soviet Moscow on his honeymoon and another guy who has dementia. Trump's gone from +180 to -115.

Still doesn't answer the question.  What were the Dems doing that qualified as a hoax?

If he weren't talking about the extent to which the coronavirus was a major problem, then what?

In my mind, he was clearly referring to the threat of the pandemic...he even followed his hoax comments with a comparison to the flu.
