No snark. It was actually to illustrate how we make an issue divisive .

Let's pretend you're a liberal who doesn't like Donald Trump and you are asked how you feel about returning to classes. You ask what are the pros and cons

Person A tells you this: Returning back to classes will increase Trump's election chances

Person B tells you: It could jump start our struggling economy and allow parents to return to earning a living.

Would your answer/opinion be the same given those to separate pieces of information.

I think it was Bill Maher who said it a couple years back when he said: The only way to stop Trump is to have a recession. Sure people will suffer, but it's worth it"

People on both sides of the aisle rightly condemned his comments and he quickly apologized.

Now that it's really happening there are those that try to prolong it with wording like: "Returning to school will help Trump's election chances".
