There's a temptation to blame these sunbelt states for opening too soon you say? But really its the young people to blame.

It's not just Pence, it's even the Department of Education in my state. They don't have the courage to say wear a mask, but just dodge and say let the local districts decide. Cowards.
Did he seriously just say that reopening had nothing to do with the increase of cases in those states????
I can't believe he's trying to say that Texas and Florida reopening isn't really part of the reason for the spikes.
"Some of these states reopened almost 2 months ago."
No, they didn't.

Pretty sick and tired of Fauci not calling shit for what it is at this point. There IS blame, there IS concrete causes for why this is happening.
We need a leader to treat this like war. Everyone is drafted and all you have to do is wear a fucking mask. Nothing like all the forefathers of the country had to do in Normandy. I would make it a point of patriotism to appeal to the South. Instead of this being a rallying cry, wearing a mask to win the war, bringing the country together like we were for a short time post 9-11, all Trump did was politicize and divide us further.
This could really have been a time to forge a solid unifying point to rally around. Instead, for the first time in my life, I don't look at the USA as a unified country - a union. I really look at it as a collection of states now. States vying against states for PPE. No uniform guidelines. No anything.

That's ok, they (the elderly) will all be dead from COVID-19 soon anyways.
Pretty interesting dance going on here for Republicans.
Republicans say that mask wearing should be up to local authorities
Local authorities, largely Democratic city governments, mandate mask wearing in their cities
Republican governors over-rule local authorities and say state law supercedes local laws, so masks aren't required
This exact scenario played out with Abbot in Texas.
Coddling Americans like they're fucking children so they don't scare away potential Trump voters who don't like being told what to do.
They've given up. The GOP is in serious trouble if they're blaming American youth.
Problem is he wants to keeps his job to educate and warn those because the moment he does lay on the obvious suspects, he's fired.
Fauci isn't a political leader. It's not his responsibility to lay blame at people's feet or to rally a cause (outside of the medical one). All he can really do is try to get the info out there that he thinks Americans need to hear.
Sadly, if he steps too far away from the line then he'll be pushed aside (and we've already seen this) and his advice will suddenly become drawn down political lines - or he'll become a 'disgruntled ex-employee'.
It must suck for him.

I thought it's still cool to shit on Millenials despite millenials no longer being... youthful.
Blaming the youth when they are the ones that encouraged them to go out and act normal again by opening the places the youth would visit during summer. These morons are unbelievable, we have countless countries with evidence of what works they cannot bullshit out of this fuck up
