How Trump Steered Supporters Into Unwitting Donations

Online donors were guided into weekly recurring contributions. Demands for refunds spiked. Complaints to banks and credit card companies soared. But the money helped keep Donald Trump’s struggling campaign afloat.

Stacy Blatt was in hospice care last September listening to Rush Limbaugh’s dire warnings about how badly Donald J. Trump’s campaign needed money when he went online and chipped in everything he could: $500.

It was a big sum for a 63-year-old battling cancer and living in Kansas City on less than $1,000 per month. But that single contribution — federal records show it was his first ever — quickly multiplied. Another $500 was withdrawn the next day, then $500 the next week and every week through mid-October, without his knowledge — until Mr. Blatt’s bank account had been depleted and frozen. When his utility and rent payments bounced, he called his brother, Russell, for help.

Imagine the hypocrisy of a government who will allow businesses to card people to get a job or buy groceries, but won't card people to vote in elections and gives millions of non-citizens free money from taxpayers.

1 in 3 People Who Survive COVID-19 Are Left With ‘Brain Disease’ or Psychiatric Disorders, Says New Study

That's the major takeaway from new research published in The Lancet Psychiatry on Tuesday. The study analyzed data over a six month period from 236,379 patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19. The researchers discovered that 34% of COVID-19 survivors had a diagnosis for either a neurological or psychological condition within six months after they were infected.

A little more than 17% of those patients were diagnosed with anxiety, while 14% were diagnosed with some form of mood disorder. A smaller number of former patients experienced brain hemorrhaging, stroke, or dementia — all of which can be considered types of brain disease.

The incidences were higher the more severe a person's COVID-19 illness. More than 19% of patient who were in the ICU when they had COVID-19 struggled with anxiety, while nearly 3% were diagnosed with a psychotic disorder. The percentages of those who were diagnosed with neurological conditions like stroke and brain bleeding were also higher in this group.

84-5/fulltext


This also isn't the first study to link COVID-19 with brain disease. A study published in March 2020 of 730 COVID-19 patients in China found that 96.2% of them experienced some symptoms of post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) after recovering from the virus. Another study of 381 former COVID-19 patients treated at a hospital in Rome, Italy, found that 30% experienced PTSD after they recovered from the virus.

And yet another study, this one of 74 patients in the Boston area who were diagnosed with COVID-19, found that 18 were admitted to the hospital due to stroke after having the virus, 15 had seizures, and 26 experienced confusion and delirium.

Research on the impact of COVID-19 on the brain is continuing, but Harrison says people who have had the virus shouldn't panic. "Two-thirds of people did not have any of these problems," he says. "The average person after COVID is not going to have these problems. We need to have this in perspective." Still, if you've recovered from COVID-19 and are noticing any new neurological or psychiatric issues, it's best to bring them up to your doctor.

Most reported cases of post-COVID psychosis involve people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, according to the Times. And, interestingly, their psychotic events were not related to the severity of their physical COVID symptoms. Most didn’t get very sick at all, yet their mental symptoms are striking.

Psychosis is typically characterized as a break with reality. When someone is having a psychotic episode, it can be difficult to determine what’s real and what’s not, says the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). Some people with psychosis have hallucinations. They might hear voices or see things that aren’t really there or experience strange sensations. Others have delusions, or false beliefs, that come across as utterly irrational.

Multiple case reports in medical journals reveal the shocking separation from reality that some people are experiencing.

NO they aren't.

For a year, 6ix, you have been saying that the actual death toll is much smaller than reported, that the dead would have died shortly even if there was no pandemic, that the pandemic is almost over. Now you are denying that psychosis hits people who had only a mild case of Covid-19. Psychosis is typically characterized as a break with reality. When someone is having a psychotic episode, it can be difficult to determine what’s real and what’s not, which makes me hypothesize that the Trumptards I know have had Covid-19. They have lost touch with reality. I can see that in their work and in their boneheaded decisions and in their money problems. Crazy people have problems. Crazy people don't do well in America. Crazy people vote for Trump, twice, believing only he can fix it.

Your media idiots told us that we'd have 2 million deaths by now right out of the gates.

They weren't able to bump the fake numbers up enough to make that happen, huh?


Quit trying to put fear into people. Nobody is getting brain damage from this bullshit or having psychotic episodes. They just want to have a built in client base that is going to pay for booster shots every 6 months for the rest of their lives.
