This may be why your right-wing friends and family members sound even dumber than usual these past few weeks.

Dig editors and writers have had our eyes and ears open wide for the past two weeks, processing input from readers as well as a number of new sources we have come in contact with—remotely, of course—while covering coronavirus. We have also surveyed the news landscape around Greater Boston, and even published two roundups of local stories by alternative outlets in other cities and states.

At the same time, some of us have noticed that the Trump supporters in our lives and on our timelines are sounding increasingly absurd. So we checked up on some of the places where they get their information from, and holy cow. From Breitbart to InfoWars, we found a whole lot about how: large companies and gun makers are completely awesome for lending their facilities to make protective equipment and sanitizer; millionaires are sadly getting poorer by the day; and concerns about COVID-19 are way overblown.

Needless to say, there’s also lots and lots about the “Chinese virus,” along with other permutations of the President’s bigoted framing of the crisis. Below are a few of the most putrid takes on some of the most popular conservative sites. Skim these, laugh at the authors, beware of right-wing media, and perhaps warn your idiot parents and cousins about them—but whatever you do, avoid sharing these and all other misinformation at this time.

Coronavirus Panic is a Trojan Horse for Socialism

We’re in week two of “sheltering in place” or “self-quarantining” whatever buzz phrase you like best. Finally we’re blinking our eyes with dawning realization that maybe this pandemic isn’t as sickly serious as was once hyped by the same media which pees itself in anticipation for hurricane season. That’s because, in my opinion, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats got greedy, thus exposing their hand. Instead of providing relief to Americans who’ve stayed at home all because their state and local governments told them to, Pelosi and her band of ugly men stuffed a relief bill with socialism fan fiction.

The Chinese Bat Soup Virus Does Not Affect Democrats’ Ability To Lie

As powerful as the Chinese coronavirus is, it is not so all-powerful that it can gag the liberals’ lie holes. They won’t shut their fool mouths, and what they won’t shut up about is all unmitigated balderdash.

The Truth About the Charge That Trump ‘Eliminated’ White House Pandemic Office Before Coronavirus

“We consolidated three directorates into one,” Tim Morrison, former senior director for counterproliferation and biodefense on the NSC, told The Daily Signal in a phone interview. “This eliminated layers in the reporting chain and in the accountability chain.”

Remington Offers NY Factory To State To Produce Medical Supplies 

According to Piseck, Remington isn’t planning on retooling their factory to make masks, beds, or ventilators themselves, but rather is offering up use of the facility for the “production or distribution of goods.”

Rep. Dan Crenshaw Uses Texas BBQ Joint To School Selfish Democrats Lawmakers

So, if Dan Crenshaw is standing up and telling American’s to wake up to what the Democrats are doing, then it is time for us all to listen. Crenshaw’s district is in Houston, Tx. Texas is known for its BBQ.

Stanford biophysicist Michael Levitt lent some weight to the positive forecast being touted by President Donald Trump who has been promising America would be back to business soon. Levitt, who won the 2013 Nobel Prize in chemistry, believes the data does not support the catastrophic predictions of months – and even years – of upheaval as well as millions of deaths.
