Yesterday. It was announced that the RNC had
decided to move most of their Republican national
convention activities to Jacksonville, Florida
away from North Carolina. Now some of the
events are still going to be held in North
Carolina because they've signed contracts.
They are obligated to do them there, but,
uh, Donald Trump's speech and a couple other
of the big events, the events where they want
a lot of people to show up, those are now
going to be held in Jacksonville, Florida.
The reason for this is because for the last
few weeks, Donald Trump, uh, has been attacking
the governor of North Carolina because the
governor has flat out, refused to ed, uh,
basically to say yes or no to the Republican
request, to lift social distancing guidelines,
uh, in order for them to have this convention,
Donald Trump didn't want to give a speech
to an empty auditorium. Donald Trump didn't
want to give a speech to, we have full auditorium.
He wanted 50,000 people in attendance, cram
packed into a room with all of these other
high ranking Republican officials and Trump
himself, and Pence would be there pretty much
every Republican of note in this country,
that's still alive, would be in the building.
That's what they want. And that's what they're
going to get in Florida. And that might be
the dumbest idea that I've ever supported
in my entire life, because I am 100% in favor
of this. I am tired of trying to, you know,
say, Oh, we can't wish ill upon anybody. Now,
you know, what, if y'all are going to be this
dumb y'all deserve, whatever's going to happen
to you at this point. You truly, truly do.
Cause I don't know if anybody's been paying
attention to what's happening down here in
the state of Florida where I am. Uh, but I
do.
I pay attention every day because I have to,
the number of coronavirus cases here are the
state of Florida is absolutely going through
the roof. We have just been through the worst
seven days of this entire pandemic. And this
state has essentially been shut down since
the end of March is when they canceled schools.
Um, but we're reopening, we're, you know,
into phase two-ish gyms are open restaurants
or, you know, nearly at full capacity. Again,
bars still aren't open, but nobody's wearing
masks when they go out to the grocery stores
because Hey, we're Florida and you've seen
the headlines in Florida. So yeah, it's exactly,
as you would expect happening here in this
state, we're seeing a huge resurgence of the
virus. Um, it's terrifying for those of us
who are doing the right thing, who are staying
home, who do, if we absolutely have to go
out, wear a mask, but everybody else is just
like, Oh, screw it.
No, we're good. We're done. And that's why
we're seeing, I think yesterday we saw what
1700 new cases, the state of Florida is seeing
a huge resurgence of this. And the Republicans
somehow looked at this and they said, huh,
let's have Trump go give a speech down there
to 19,000 people because that's their new
goal. They know they're not going to get 50,000.
So a report said their new goal is 19,000,
but they did make sure because apparently
they have been looking for several weeks for
a new venue for Trump's speech. They wanted
to make sure they found a place that wouldn't
require the people in the audience to wear
masks. That was one of their requirements.
So they want it. I mean, I feel like they're
intentionally trying to get drunk Corona virus
at this point. Like, Hey, we need a venue
where we can shove 20,000 people in there.
We need to make sure you're not going to make
'em, uh, wear masks. Uh, in fact, if you could
make it to where everybody has to cough on
the person behind them, as they walk through
the door, that'd be even better. Right? This
is insanity. I mean, what is wrong with these
people? Does the entire Republican party of
the United States like collectively have the
IQ of a potato, honest to God. I, I, I think
that right now, because this is the dumbest
thing that I have ever, as I said earlier,
wholeheartedly supported because at this point,
if you're going, if you're going to make the
honest choice to be this stupid, then yes,
everyone who makes that choice deserves. Whatever
happens to him at that point, we have tried
to warn you. The government's tried to warn
you, the scientists to try to warn you.
Everybody has tried to warn you, but if you're
just going to ignore all that, ignore all
the smart people, then whatever horrible,
you know, fate befalls you is essentially
your own fault at this point. And that is
exactly the kind of disaster they are courting
by bringing that disaster of a convention
here to the state of Florida. It's not going
to end well for any one, but they got to massage
Trump's ego a little bit. So here it comes.
And why Florida, right? They said they were
looking at other places. They they're looking
at Texas. They were looking at Arizona. Well,
the reason they're coming to Florida because
it's a swing state and Trump's losing it right
now. And he can't win the white house. If
he doesn't have Florida. I mean, the number
of other swing States in this country, he
would have to pick up to make up for Florida
is astronomical.
He doesn't have the support to do it. So they're
bringing it to Florida because they think
that's going to shore up support from in fact,
Ronna McDaniel essentially said it herself.
She said, this is the chairwoman of the GOP
said not only does Florida hold a special
place in president Trump's heart as his home
state, which isn't true by the way the dudes
in new Yorker is now and always has been just
cause he owned some property. Don't down here
does not make him a Floridian. He's crazy
enough, absolutely. To, to be in the headline
as Florida man. But uh, no, Florida's not
as veins. I'm sorry, but it is crucial. It
is crucial in the path for victory in 2020,
uh, we look forward to bringing this great
celebration and economic boon to the sunshine
state in just a few short months. So she admitted
it right there.
Like this state is crucial for him. He can't
get back into the white house without this
state. So they're going to come down here.
They're going to bring their people down here.
I can promise you behind the scenes, they're
going to be wearing masks. They're going to
be doing everything to protect themselves
because they know how dangerous this is. But
to the people who go out there under the crown
to listen to Trump's speech, the ones who
he gets to see while he's talking, they're
going to make sure you don't get to take any
safety precautions. And that, as I said, will
100% lead to disaster.
