The real danger is when a government has power to stop people from freely, peacefully assembling. If there only was an emergency shutdown of two weeks (while figuring out some aspects of a new and widespread virus), we could forgive the governments for their momentary violation of delegated powers. However, we see these governors continuing to act unilaterally in violation of the Constitutions, now with ignorant policies being enforced.

Street protests are outside, where the air is open and there's plenty of ventilation. With an indoor arena, air is more confined (possibly even recirculated), and people in general don't move to different places very often.
Folks held their breath after the street protests, waiting to see if there'd be an infection spike; for the most part, there weren't many. A more confined area with people jammed together and staying in one place is just gonna magnify any chance of infection; so far, the increased chances seem to have born viral-fruit.
I mean, really, if we're supposed to assume that calls to defund the police automatically caused increased levels of violence in some places, it's perfectly reasonable to assume Trumpanzees got sick because of their cult-like worship of their orange messiah.

Originally posted by shunyadragon View PostAnecdotal foolishness is not an argument. The rally encouraged large gatherings indoors and outdoors with demonstrations. The indoors lasted weeks, and on reporter and two others involved with the staff tested positive. Including those on Trumps staff that tested positive prior to the Rally, and they all particapated in meeting in doors.
