    ah yes socialism is when you’re trying to find things in the grocery store

    Imagine having a nurse whose job is to help those who are sick and weak who believes in "survival of the fittest".

    By the way... Florida population = 22 million. Taiwan population 23 million. Florida deaths = 13,000. Taiwan deaths = 7. And in Taiwan the shops and restaurants and schools are open and the economy is doing well

    Its pretty weird how you can immediately tell just by how they look and speak which person is a Democrat and which person is a republican.
  • @JCstone1000
    When that nurse used the phrase “Herd mentality” she was quoting an interview when Trump stupidly used that phrase when he was clearly referring to “herd immunity”. His supporters literally take his words as gospel, Christ.
  • @vikrim1
    This is absolutely terrifying. For all the American jingoism about liberty and democracy, these people unabashedly give their loyalty not to their country, not to their party, but to one man. You can’t get more un-American.
  • @Sedna063
    Claims she is a nurse. Speaks about Herd Mentality. Lady, you probably work the cafeteria.
  • @einstein1102
    "OMG - George Bush was a great president compared to that thing that's in the white house" - I think she spoke for all of us :-)
  • @zo62
    This is a public service announcement. never go to florida
  • @blackbess338
    Strange that Trump made a Freudian slip and talked about herd mentality and His supporters just made the same mistake !
  • Someone find that nurse and get her reported to the medical commision for using her position for spreading misnformation.
  • @leevancleef553
    That nurse said herd mentality when she meant herd immunity. 🤣
  • @28richfield
    I am sorry to tell this lady that we are all immigrants. The only true Americans are the Native Indians who live in the American Continent for over 15000 years.
  • @jcxd21
    She said “get out of our country” smdh
  • @pHD77
    "We can agree to disagree." The tone in his voice, when he said that... That's one guy, who clearly felt that he was wasting his breath.
  • @luismanuel2612
    Sometimes I got the impression that America is on the edge of its own self-destruction. But then I remember they had a civil war. Things can get very nasty, very vast in that country ... :-(
