Does she support free trade schools?
I knew my mother wouldn’t be able to keep away from Facebook for long.
She claimed she was going to delete it but never did. She was away for 3 weeks before posting this. I’m gonna put it in spoiler tags because it’s extremely long and extremely infuriating.
From Trey Gowdy:
"I’m not saying Covid-19 isn’t real… But Pay attention folks, there’s much more going on here than what meets the eye.
Is it a coincidence that just when the economy is booming, the stock market is setting record highs, we are winning the trade wars, school shootings have stopped, our nation is at peace, the Democratic party is a disaster and so is their likely nominee? (Biden). He hasn’t a chance in hell & they’re not about to let an outsider(Bernie) destroy their scheme.
It looks like Trump is a sure bet for reelection after fending off 3 years of investigations and impeachment, then all of a sudden world crisis pandemic. Stock market tumbles, companies are laying off employees, everything is closed and canceled, CEO’s of giant companies are resigning and indictments are coming.
Now they say there are a couple ways a President doesn’t win reelection. Those are an unpopular war or a poor economy.
But there is something larger going on here driving this sudden outbreak right after Trump beats an impeachment. Especially the fact that it (Corona Virus) originated in China who we are in a global trade war with; brought on by Trump. Let’s not forget Biden’s back door deals with CHINA as well.
China doesn’t want 4 more years of Trump either. It all seems rather convenient for the nations and opponents of our current President and economy 5 months before an election. Couldn’t have hit at a more perfect time.
With the Democrats running out of campaign talking points, in light of no school shootings, no migrant caravans at the southern border, fighting in Syria winding down, North Korea not firing missiles and Trump beating a sham impeachment. The Corona Virus gave them one last hail Mary to try and point fingers at Trump with the clock winding down in 2020.
This is almost the perfect fascist playbook. Control the population with fear-mongering and panic, control the media, spread propaganda and the fan-favorite disarm the population. Oh, and did anyone notice that while they are mad as hell at Trump for not sending aid to Ukraine, they THEMSELVES voted AGAINST giving ANY emergency aid to all Americans ?
Sorry but I don’t think we are all going to die. Remember when Ebola was what was going to kill us all, and the media kept showing the piles of body bags that were prepared for the fallout. Then a month later it was totally forgotten.
The common flu has killed more people this year already and the media is SILENT!
A handful of deaths out of 320 million Americans and we are in panic tearing down our society and costing our economy billions in the wake. It all just seems fishy, a little too well-timed if you ask me."

TLDR:
What’s ridiculous is that she’s taking all of the precautions that you guys are taking: social distancing, wearing a mask, washing hands and criticizes those who don’t. Then she posts this word salad.
I think deplorables that appear decent may be more deplorable than we think. For example, my mother is not openly racist towards people and would never say these things out in public. She’d never go to a protest or wear tacky Trump memorabilia. When she speaks to me, she at first glance appears to be rational, though severely misinformed. But then she posts something like that and it makes me wonder if there’s a side to her that me and my sisters never see. Like there’s a side that would agree with quotes from Mein Kampf if she didn’t know they were from there.
What bothers me about the Snopes article is that it states that it is misattributed, not that it’s made up bullshit. By saying it’s misattributed, it implies that the information is true just that the person who said it wasn’t Gowdy.

My first call center job had a script that used the work “folks”. Our first day I said something different and the manager said "It says folks for a reason, read it word for word.
Your post reminded me of that.

Her amygdala gets fired up and she can’t help herself. It’s that simple.
Shit. I actually use “folks” on occasion. Not often, but it’s in the rotation.
Dana Carvey for me 
I say folks because I am not creative and I’m trying to avoid saying “guys” all the time and folks is often the only thing I can think of

Yeah some politicians really torture the word folks in some cringey ways.
Rather than “build the wall” I’d hit that he still has replaced Obamacare.

I am an actuary so outside of work no one wants to talk to me. Sometimes people tolerate me to spend time with my wife or dog, in those situations I have used “hello all” or “hows everybody doing” to address a group.
