OK, thread derailing won't be tolerated.

Also, not responding to trolls would be most helpful.

Yeah if people were truly feeling economic insecurity then they'd be demanding or demonstrating for more direct government assistance.

If you're feeling economically insecure but you're choosing "liberating Wisconsin" or whatever over more cash assistance then you're using economic need arguments as a false pretense.

Could you and your fellow moderators please do a better job deleting comments that are clearly trolling, and punishing those responsible? I'm disgusted by the commentary downplaying or making a joke out of the fact that tens of thousands of people have died. If I had lost to someone from COVID, I'd be absolutely enraged to see such foolishness being posted on this forum with impunity. I've reported multiple posts and yet nothing seems to change.

"Downplaying" aka disagreeing with an opinion is not a TOS violation.

IDK man I've definitely had posts deleted on this site for "downplaying" your intelligence.

Cool story bro.

OK, let's draw a line here and move on, shall we?

Look, the mods aren't supposed to constantly monitor a thread. If you have issues with a post then report it, and it will be looked into.
