that is the real conspiracy, how our President attacks freedom of the press and tries to censor anything that hurts his ego
He called the virus 'their new hoax'...their referring to Democrats. This thread is proof that Trump's faithful still think the statistics from the virus is a hoax to make Trump look bad.

I did no such thing as moving the goal posts. If anything I may have shown some disturbing truths that might hurt your narrative.
It's a fact that the MSM pushed a death rate of 2.2 million and the CDC reduced their numbers of deaths.
Since we are talking about Corona Chan and the numbers being put out, the FACT remains we were lied too.
You shiver in fear behind your personal border wall all you care too. But many are aware of the lies and hypocrisy of the elite and it's subjects and are ready to get life back to normal.
I didn't even get into the draconian treatment of citizens by power hungry tyrants. In what world is are you living in that you think it's okay for a governor to shut down private businesses? Why is Joe's cafe shut down yet every Corporate owned food chain is allowed to operate?

I did my homework. Trump literally called this a hoax yet you are playing mental gymnastics game and attack the messenger because why?
Face the reality!
The virus is legitimate, the data available suggests a 6% death rate, and there is no doubt that Trump's response has been very poor.
(Bold Mine)
The letter took issue in particular with the opening of the video, which stitched together Trump saying the phrases "the coronavirus" and "this is their new hoax."

Do facts even matter? No most billionaires are conservative as are most multi millionaires despite what the(mostly conservative) media has fed you. Up is down and left is right to a lot of you guys. The only thing akin to a deep state is most assuredly right wing and the people trying to take away your basic rights? also right wing. a reply to: Stupidsecrets

"The very top titans – Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates – have all taken left-of-center stands on various issues, and Buffett and Gates are paragons of philanthropy...Unfortunately, this picture is misleading. Our new, systematic study of the 100 wealthiest Americans indicates that Buffett, Gates, Bloomberg et al are not at all typical. Most of the wealthiest US billionaires – who are much less visible and less reported on – more closely resemble Charles Koch. They are extremely conservative on economic issues. Obsessed with cutting taxes, especially estate taxes – which apply only to the wealthiest Americans. Opposed to government regulation of the environment or big banks. Unenthusiastic about government programs to help with jobs, incomes, healthcare, or retirement pensions – programs supported by large majorities of Americans. Tempted to cut deficits and shrink government by cutting or privatizing guaranteed social security benefits.
How can this be so? If it is true, why aren’t voters aware and angry about it?
The answer is simple: billionaires who favor unpopular, ultraconservative economic policies, and work actively to advance them (that is, most politically active billionaires) stay almost entirely silent about those issues in public. This is a deliberate choice. Billionaires have plenty of media access, but most of them choose not to say anything at all about the policy issues of the day. They deliberately pursue a strategy of what we call “stealth politics”.

I check the numbers daily and do my due diligence in reading the information as it comes available from all sources.
What have you done? You seem to have fallen for the alt-right claim that this a liberal hoax that has phony statistics that is aimed at destroying the economy, yet refuse to believe any legitimate source of data because it goes against your confirmation bias. Instead you will clinch to quacky testimonials and anything elese that strokes your confirmation bias as your 'proof'. Your mind is already made up and no amount of data and evidence will change it.
Collective narcissism is why so many refuse to admit they are wrong. It is one of Trump's stongest demographics....call this a Democrat hoax early on and his minions take it to the next level of ignorance.
Anyone who still thinks the US COVID-19 statistics are being inflated to serve some sort of agenda are willfully ignorant and are part of a collective narcissism that has infected the US.
I doubt any other First World nation has as diverse a population as the United States, or as much separation of powers as we do. There are something like 90,000 political entities in America, each with its own elected leaders, the power to levy taxes and its own police force if it wants one. Each of the 535 members of Congress thinks he or she should be the president, and each of the 50 governors doesn’t give a damn what Trump says or wants.

How is this possible?
Has anyone mentioned yet the mobility of many Americans? The US has a huge freeway system that anyone with a car that will drive at least 55 miles an hour can hop onto and within an hour be 55 to a hundred miles away from their starting point. And until a month or so ago, those freeways were full of people traveling here and there.
Has anyone mentioned that the US has at least thirteen thousand airports. In those air ports scores of airplanes take off and land every single day. And from my experience all of those planes are jammed full of people flying to where they do not have the time to drive. In six hours one plane can take a hundred people from one coast to another.
I don't know if other nations have citizens who travel as much or as far or as fast as the US.
