    Celebrations and dancing that are spreading a deadly virus during a global pandemic, you mean.

    Wow. Look at all that COVID spreading. I feel sorry for their grandparents.

    All of sudden, social distancing and avoiding large crowds no longer matter to liberals.

    My, what an odd coincidence that this should happen on the exact same day that they win the presidential election.

    It's almost as if liberals were not sincere about wanting to stop the spread of COVID.

    So people are allowed to have natural reactions to things again? When did that happen?

    It's been painfully obvious from day one that liberals were just exploiting COVID for political purposes. They never actually cared about saving lives.

    I guess I can cross you off. So far.....not one Trumpeteer has accepted. My humble hospitality has been spurned.......like Humpty Trumpty.

    How many times has someone whooped with joy when their teams scores only to regret it when the entire funeral party turns and stares? Joy, like anger, is hard to contain and never listen to the big game through an earpiece at a funeral.

    Liberals are spreading a deadly virus and causing people to get sick and die.

    So now it's okay for people to ignore social distancing and gather in large crowds? The pandemic is officially over?

    A few thoughts.

    For those who have won, don’t gloat.
    For those who have lost, don’t despair.

    For those who wish to celebrate, do it responsibly (masks, social distancing).
    For those who wish to protest, do it responsibly (no violence or threats of violence).

    A good question to ask the trumpsters. He is the most corrupt president in living memory.

    You're not wrong. These types of gatherings will cause some community spread. The photos I saw were outside and more folks were masked than not but it's still risky. Especially since the warm temps here on the east coast are going to move on after a few days and folks will be back to being cooped up inside, so any spread that happens from these impromptu events will then multiply much harder once that happens.

    I can understand their jubilation completely. If you're not a Trump voter, you're going to be overjoyed that his term is ending. But COVID-19 is still serious and these parties will probably spur new infections.

    We've been hearing the left blame the covid deaths in America on Trump for many months now so it's ironic that Biden supporters who are gathering in large groups to celebrate and all we are getting are lame excuses from the left as to why this is ok. Don't worry, we knew it was all political but it's fun to point out your blatant hypocrisy.

    But will the media harp on them as "super spreader" events? Bet not.

    If you think that imperialistic intervention in Latin America hasn’t played a major role in the current state of affairs in Venezuela then I highly recommend you do a bit of reading on the matter.
    How well do you think America would be doing right now if it spent that past 70+ years dealing with violent foreign interference within its borders?

    History is a bit more complex than what fits in a news headline or a bumper sticker.

    So the same people who are celebrating in groups and dancing are the same one who said we had to do mail in ballots to be safe from covid?

    While I don’t think it’s the best idea to have mass gatherings during a pandemic, I think you’re ignoring precautions that are being taken. These celebrations are happening outside and the vast majority of revelers are wearing protective face masks.

    As we saw with the protests over the summer, this environment with these precautions are not likely to result in substantial virus transmission.

    Looks like your opinion isn’t based on observable facts.

    Now show all the evidence of Covid spreading at polling locations. Good luck. Now explain why everyone needed to vote by mail in order to protect themselves:) Simple observation reveals its perfectly ok to crowd together as long as the cause is “approved”. Such transparency.
